Dandy Rigg Cottage - sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

Dandy Rigg Cottage is a traditional Manx cottage, known as a 'tholtan' which has been modernised to a comfortable three-star holiday cottage, located in the quiet countryside of the south of the Isle of Man. Located on the south facing hillside above Colby village the cottage setting is ideal for a peaceful retreat. From the garden enjoy panoramic views across and out to sea. On a clear day you can even make out the hills of the Welsh coastline from the grounds of the cottage.

After 29 visits to the iom this is a 1st staying in a rented property after being let down by a hotel. We'll definitely be using this type of accommodation again. Only sorry we didnt discover it years ago.

Comfortable Cottage.
Fantastic cottage in a lovely location for exploring The Isle of Man. The cottage was very clean and ready when we arrived, and we had no issues during our stay. 10 Minute walk or very short drive to pub and shop in Colby, and 5 minute drive to Port Erin for all other amenities. Highly recommended for a peaceful break.

Our lovely Manx Cottage in the Isle of Man
We loved our holiday and wanted for nothing in the cottage. We didn't get off to a good start because the directions specified a clock in Colby which we couldn't see from the road and a Co-op which had become a Spar convenience store. In every other respect our stay was wonderful. Thank you
