An IoM property which could uniquely sleep 4 different couples

The property was highly specified and well suited to our needs. Really liked Port Eric as a location with easy access to the steam railway, local shops and the beach. Also enjoyed some of the local walks.

Very happy and suited our needs for this stay. It was comfortable for 3 generations of family. Plenty of hot water. Welcome pack on arrival (milk, bread, cheese, butter and chocolate) was a nice touch.

Fantastic Holiday

From initial inquiry, booking and stay at The Arches Holiday Haven the experience was excellent. The location of the accommodation is also great and within easy reach of the beach, local shops, restaurants and bars. Have no hesitation in recommending Island Escapes and The Arches Holiday Haven.

Ideal property

This property was ideal for our requirements for a family celebration weekend. The downstairs bedroom and bathroom were great for my elderly mother and the spacious kitchen and sun trap back garden were great for sharing meals and fun. I have raised a few issues which can be easily rectified and would thoroughly recommend this property in gorgeous Port Erin.

Home from home

This is a well situated and well equipped modern house close to all amenities. The beach is close by. The house was perfect for our extended family stay. Plenty of space and perfect for 6 adults and two children. Room for personal space and family time. It is nicely furnished and immaculately clean. Would highly recommend it!

Has the potential to be perfect

The house is in a beautiful location and is very spacious, warm and well equipped. The spa bath was a highlight for me as a way to wind down after a day exploring. The only issue was the mattresses were uncomfortable, either with springs sticking up or lumps. Also, none of the TV remotes worked, even if when we went out and bought batteries. This was a bit of a shame as we like to watch the evening news before bed. Just a couple of small changes would make this house amazing, and despite these little niggles I wouldn’t hesitate to book again

A wonderful home

The house is located in a calm neighbourhood. You can park directly in front of the house. Everything was cleaned and the rooms are modern and inviting! A wonderful home to spend time on the Isle of Man.

Great location and facilities

The property was very modern, spacious and completed to a high specification. It was very comfortable and in a great location. The only minor quibbles were that the WiFi signal was a bit unreliable and kept dropping out, and accessing the key from the key safe holder outside the property was a little bit fiddly once you put the combination in. But other than that, highly recommended. There was also milk, bread, cheese butter, coffee and tea in the property upon arrival, which was very welcome.

Fabulous location with luxurious accommodation

Everything you could possibly need was in this accommodation. We only stayed three nights , could have stayed there forever. Downstairs bedroom allowed my husband, who has mobility issues, to enjoy his break even more. Only down side was there was no sea view but we knew that when booking. Door in downstairs en suite does not close properly……..otherwise superb.

A very happy time

The house is furnished and maintained to a very high standard and we were delighted with it.. I have given a four for location only because I would have liked a sea view, but it is very accessible to the shops and sea front. Parking is perfect and off road. It is very quiet. We mainly cooked for ourselves, and another serving/oven proof dish would be useful as well as more cutlery, especially knives. Not a major issue. We had a lovely time

A good house, but condition not up to scratch

We enjoyed our stay at this house but it didn't justify its 5* rating. In general its condition was below par for this rating. The tap in the upstairs ensuite basin flooded the floor rather than the basin. Lots of the downlighters didn't work. The WC in the upstairs ensuite developed a fault (which you quickly dealt with, thank you), but your maintenance man was familiar with it so clearly it has a "history". And the kitchen wasn't well equipped: there was no teapot and no microwaveable utensils (we bought and contributed a teapot, to which you and subsequent guests are welcome). The main TV wasn't "smart" so we had to watch iPlayer things by camping in the bedroom.

Excellent house in a great position.

The Arches Holiday Haven was fabulous. It is a large property and very comfortable. We were impressed with the nice touches like leaving bread, milk, cheese, biscuits and drinks. The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms clean and had everything needed. The kitchen had everything required. The position of the house is ideal. You can easily walk into Port Erin where there are plenty of food outlets and supermarkets. It is also only a few minutes walk to the sea. Although we had a car with us we found that some days we left it behind and used buses, the steam train and the trams to get about. Buying a 'Go ' card is worthwhile if you plan on doing this. Timetables and lots of other information was provided at the house which we found useful. We loved the house and could happily live there. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a large 4 bedroom property in a ideal spot for exploring the island.

Comfortable house for large family

The perfect house for a family of 8. There were ample seating in dinning area & living room. The beds were comfy & the towels large enough to cover you up! The showers were also very enjoyable & the jacuzzi bath the perfect way to relax after a walk up Bradda. Having the washing machine & tumble dryer on hand was very useful after a day on the beach. Out in the garden there was a nice seating area for sitting 4 comfortably & another 4 plastic chairs for the rest with a large bbq & a shed for storage. In the kitchen the only thing missing was a tea pot & perhaps a couple more oven trays! All in all a very good place to stay that was local to the amenities- shops, train station, buses, pub & beach.

The Arches Holiday Haven, Port Erin was the perfect location for our stay.

The accommodation was perfect for our needs, spacious, clean and comfortable for eight adults. The location in the town is ideal for all the amenities, of which there are many, including an excellent chippy, and great hospitality at the Station Hotel. The steam railway station for trips to Douglas is just a 5 minute walk away. Overall we had a great stay with much to do and see around the island and look forward to visiting again.

Très agréable maison à Port Erin

Nous avons passé une semaine dans cette belle maison récente et moderne pendant le TT. Toutes les pièces sont bien aménagées et joliment décorées pour s’y sentir bien. Le jardin, la proximité de toutes commodités et du bord de mer nous ont permis de passer un agréable séjour.

Excellent!!!

This house is superb in every way. 7 of us stayed for 4 nights and none could find any faults with it. The icing on the cake would be a hot tub!!! (maybe) The location was brilliant, you could walk to the center or beach of Port Erin, in less than 5 minutes. Will defiantly go back there next time we're in the IOM
