Cottages in Douglas
Douglas, the Island’s capital, is likely to be your first port of call on your Isle of Man holiday. This bustling town offers plenty of places to shop and dine, you can hop on the Isle of Man Steam Railway to visit Castletown or the Manx Electric Railway to explore the Island, and delve into the Island’s history with a visit to the Manx Museum. Stroll along the promenade, admire the beautiful Victorian buildings, and stop off at the popular Noa Bakehouse for a coffee, pastry, and a loaf of bread. Douglas Head is a great place for special views over the bay. And on the edge of the town, you’ll find Summerhill Glen, with its pretty streams and footpaths. In the autumn and winter months, the glen lights up with magical illuminations.
Planning an Isle of Man break? We’ll redirect you to our sister company, Island Escapes, but you can hop back anytime to keep exploring UK getaways.
Our exclusive ferry discounts of up to 25% will make your island trip with Classic plain sailing.

We’ve been raising the standards of self catering holidays since 1977.
Our family ethos
Tony and Clare Tregoning started the business back in 1977 and their dedication to quality and excellence is at the heart of everything we do. Tony is sadly no longer with us, but we still adhere to their original ethos of finding holiday homes we would like to stay in and have slowly grown the company to find the best picks of properties across the counties. Plus Clare still drops in to keep us on our toes.
As an independent, family-run company, we wouldn’t expect you to stay anywhere we wouldn’t want to stay ourselves. And we’re pretty picky. We want you to walk into your handpicked holiday home and say ‘wow’, sit back and relax.
