Perfect location for our trip to the TT 2022!!
Unbelievable location and accommodation that suited us perfectly for our long overdue trip to the island. Not just a welcome pack but a welcome hamper upon our arrival, just the job! Very spacious rooms and everything was spot on meaning we had nothing else that we could ask for. Stunning views of Douglas, easy walk onto the marina and town. A credit to David & Elaine who were the perfect hosts and updated us brilliantly prior to our early arrival. We will definitely book again when we visit again for the TT! Thank You !!!

A wonderful base for a super stay!
My husband was anxious to revisit the Isle of Man having been many times for TT races, it was my first visit and I was greatly impressed by the island. Ravenscliffe Lodge was perfect in every way. Our accommodation was spacious, very warm and comfortable. We were greeted with a hamper of goodies and on checking out the lodge were delighted with what we found. Ravenscliffe is very well situated for sightseeing the whole island, the views from the windows were interesting, being able to see the comings and goings at the harbour. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property and hope to return.

Wonderful home for a holiday
Everything you need to enjoy your stay on the Isle of Man. Clean, comfortable, spacious and with fantastic views . This home from home was the start and finish of a holiday to remember . Hosts David and Elaine were there if you needed but not when you were OK. A welcome hamper on the kitchen table and milk and butter in the fridge was great. The new gorgeous little pup to be able to fuss was a bonus.

Fantastic place to stay in Douglas
The lodge has everything you could possibly require for a comfortable stay and is very spacious. It is located close to the passenger ferry terminal and has fantastic views overlooking the sea and Douglas. We did not bring our car, but the lodge is close enough to walk into Douglas and use the public transport.

Delightful two weeks
An elegant Victorian house with friendly owners. Wonderful views down to the ferry port and enjoyed watching the ferries coming in and out. This was our first visit to the island and in the 2 weeks explored it thoroughly. Enjoyed driving on the TT circuit! I would need to be younger or have much longer legs to walk down to the shops, harbour, etc. in the 8 to 10 minutes mentioned. Didn't realise how hilly Douglas is so had plenty of opportunities to practise my hill starts!

Stunning location, spacious house
This is a spacious and characterful rental in a beautiful position overlooking Douglas harbour. We had a car, but we could have managed without it because public transport and the shops are easily available. the main bedroom is not only stunning in terms of its view, but also it’s luxurious size. On the negative side, water pressure in the ensuite is very low indeed. Cooking is difficult because the fan oven is too noisy to use and the microwave door is cracked, making it a hazard to use. Both these need immediate attention, Nevertheless we had a really enjoyable and relaxing holiday and would recommend it!

We enjoyed it immensely, again!
Ravenscliffe Lodge is a beautiful gem of place to stay when visiting the Isle of Man. The accommodations are clean, spacious and comfortable with everything you need if you are self-catering. The views over the bay are superb and it is no more than a five-minute’s walk into the center of Douglas. We have stayed here in the middle of winter and also in summer and it was perfectly comfortable both times.

An excellent holiday
The accommodation here at Ravenscliffe Lodge is fantastic, more like a stay in a country house, than a normal holiday. I would throughly recommend Ravenscliffe Lodge as a location for a stay in the Isle of Man, it is ideally situated for exploring the island and is only a short walk in Douglas.
