This 19th-century listed cottage was once part of the Old House of Keys, a former meeting place for Manx politics and the Isle of Man's parliament. It should come as no surprise that this home is steeped in history. Features like wooden beams and exposed stonework only add to that heritage, while modern updates like auto-closing windows and a sleek kitchen keep things contemporary. We think it's utterly warm and welcoming – you'll feel at home as soon as you open the door and step into the roomy living area. Sprawl out on the cushy L-shaped sofa after a busy day, catching up on your favourite Netflix shows. When you grow peckish, let your culinary skills run wild in the kitchen before settling down for a meal at the dining table in front of the cosy log burner. Come bedtime, make your way to the sumptuous main suite and drift off to dreamland underneath vaulted ceilings. Location-wise, right across the street is Castle Rushen, so you're truly in the centre of town. It's a quaint area, with a few cafes, eateries and a pub nearby, and Castletown Beach is a twenty-minute stroll away. For a fun day out, hop on the... historic Steam Railway that runs through the south coast – it connects to the island's capital, Douglas, as well as the seaside villages of Port Erin and Port St Mary.
