Wisteria Cottage is a self-catering holiday cottage in a wonderfully rural location in the north of the Isle of Man. In the surrounding area is an expanse of farmland providing the perfect scenery to truly relax and unwind in the great outdoors!
The property is set in lovely gardens and woodland, complete with a small lake, it’s part of a working farm and you’ll see cows in the fields and crops growing. Take a walk around and lose yourself in the many acres of land that the cottage sits within. There is an abundance of flora surrounding Wisteria Cottage and a dawn walk to listen to the birdsong is quite magical. The cottage has the beautiful walled garden for your exclusive private use, a real suntrap or place to look at the stars!
If nature is your thing then you have to explore The Ayres National Nature Reserve, a 15 minute drive away. A quirky part of the island to visit is that's also protected is Ballaugh Curraghs wetlands, home to a unique colony of wild, but shy, wallabies descended from previous escapees from the Wildlife Park.
The cottage is extremely fortunate to be in an area where several species of bat were identified during a recent bat survey. You may be lucky enough to see them at dusk or even hear bat activity at night! The bats' summer roosts are normally active until mid September. You will see the wonderful little creatures emerge from a spot beneath the roof above the back door of the cottage to search for flying insects throughout the night, it’s fleeting but a lovely sight. The cottage has recently been awarded The Unesco Biosphere Award, having become part of the agri-environment scheme.
Inside Wisteria Cottage you will find a homely holiday cottage, providing comfortable accommodation for your visit! There are three bedrooms, a double with en-suite, a linked single room suitable for a child and a twin room with a further en-suite.
