Mount Rule House B&B Isle of Man

EXPERIENCE LIVING IN A MODERNISED MANOR HOUSE Believe it or not one family could afford to live in this impressive manor house at one time - and it wasn't so long ago ! We offer two large double guest bedrooms with shared bathroom facilities. If your desired dates appear to be unavailable on the calendar for this listing, please check our other listing for availability. We operate a "HOMESTAY" bed and breakfast and our objective is to make sure that all our guests FEEL AT HOME. Mount Rule House was built in 1853 as the MANOR HOUSE of a 1300 acre five farm estate. With grand reception rooms on the ground floor, the family bedrooms on the first floor and the children's nursery and staff quarters "OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND" on the second floor, this was aristocratic living at it's finest. The house was converted into 6 apartments and modernised in 1973 but much of the old world charm still remains. Our apartment is sympathetically decorated and well maintained with large airy rooms throughout. We are on the second floor but don't worry, we have a LIFT. Our home, BRITISH and PARSEE, is decorated with artefacts from around the world - a collection bought lovingly during our travels spanning over 30 years. After all Rome was not built in a day ! We have two spacious guest bedrooms with double beds. Both rooms can accommodate an additional inflatable single bed by prior arrangement and an additional charge. Many of our guests have used this facility for children and additional adults and have found the inflatable beds to be extremely comfortable. There are two shared bathrooms in which a selection of toiletries is always available. Breakfast is served in the dining room where guests will find tea and coffee making facilities. The dining room gives access to a large open roof terrace overlooking the gardens, where guests are welcome to smoke. Guests are also welcome to join us in the drawing room for a chat. WE LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOMING YOU AND EXPANDING OUR NETWORK OF FRIENDS, AQUAINTANCES AND GUESTS FROM AROUND THE WORLD. Free Wifi internet access is available. Laundry facilities are available by arrangement and for an additional charge. WELCOME ONE AND WELCOME ALL ! We have been on AIRBNB for 7 years and have worked hard to earn our SUPERHOST status. It's your guarantee of the attention to detail that you "THE GUEST" deserves. We will be on hand throughout your stay and happy to interact with you as much (or little) as you wish. Our aim is to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. House keys will be provided to guest so that they may come and go as they please. The Isle Of Man is best known throughout the motorcycling fraternity as the road racing capitol of the world and home of the annual TOURIST TROPHY RACES and the FESTIVAL OF MOTORCYCLING. But more than that the island is an exotic and unique place to visit offering extensive and beautiful mountain and coastal scenery and wonderful beaches. There are unique Victorian steam and electric railway networks including the Snaefell Mountain Railway that climbs to the summit of Snaefell - the highest point on the island. There are also horse-drawn trams on Douglas Promenade. Not to be missed is the "Lady Isabella" - the largest working water wheel in the world and an icon of the island's industrial heritage. Car parking beside the house and covered parking for motorcycles in our garage is FREE for all guests. We have a long-standing association with a local taxi operator who can usually have a car here within 10 minutes. The taxi fare to Douglas is approximately £10.00 and to Ronaldsway Airport approximately £25.00. The nearest bus stop is 10 minutes walk from the house. We are situated in a quiet, rural location in BRADDAN but less than 10 minutes from central DOUGLAS by car or motorcycle. PLEASE READ THE DIRECTIONS TO OUR HOME WHICH ARE ON THE WEBSITE. We have amply FREE PARKING beside the house and a large double garage in which our motorcycling friends and guests are welcome to park their machines. On the second floor landing there is a cloakroom in which to hang the leathers and leave the boots.
