Quaint little home
This home is within a short walk from the quaint square of Castletown. It is really cute inside for two people. We only slept and had breakfast there everyday as we were out and about for the rest of the time. We enjoyed the village square and the restaurants there as well. Access to the rail station and catching the bus at the square was a real bonus. We would definitely stay there again!

Cottage with lots of character!
Great location, bus, trains and town all walkable. However the cottage cleaning routine needs to be improved(cobwebs, dust behind sofa etc, windows dirty). The Garden needs attention&weeding!
