The 'Milking Parlour' at East Ballabane is a stunning new barn conversion that adjoins a working farm, with breathtaking views across fields to the sea and the Ayres Nature Reserve, and to the coast of Galloway in the distance.

The accommodation is all on one level and has easy access. The interior decor has a very contemporary and stylish feel. There are two beautiful bedrooms - one double with an en-suite shower room and patio doors onto the terrace, and one twin with an en-suite bathroom with shower. There is a large and light open-plan living area, again with patio doors, and there are two comfortable leather sofas. The modern spacious kitchen has glossy cream units and includes a washer-dryer, fridge, freezer, and dishwasher. There is lovely wooden flooring and under-floor heating throughout. The views from all the windows are exceptional.

The wonderful terrace at the front of the property overlooks coast and country and is ideal for alfresco meals, or a glass of wine while enjoying the sunset.
Guests can enjoy shared use of the large tree-lined lawn, and the large gated farmyard is a safe area for children to play (as well as being a real suntrap!).

The 'Milking Parlour' has its own off-road parking area alongside. There is also plenty of extra space for parking in the courtyard, if required.

The large upper floor of one of our barns is being kitted out as a games room with a table-tennis table and a small snooker table. We also provide beach toys and garden games.

From the Milking Parlour it is only a 5-minute drive to beautiful and spacious sandy beaches. There is also the Ayres National Nature Reserve with Visitor Centre and Nature Trail.

It is only a 5-minute drive to the villages of Bride and Andreas. Andreas has a good shop, a Post Office, and a public house that serves good pub grub.

The area surrounding the Milking Parlour is an excellent area for walking, cycling, and bird-watching.

There is a newly established golf course that is also only a 5-minutes drive away

The island's 'second town', Ramsey, is only a 10-minute drive from the Milking Parlour. Ramsey's attractions include shops, pubs, restaurants, the Mooragh Park, a swimming pool, and a busy harbour area.

East Ballabane is situated on the island's 'northern plain' which is largely flat and absolutely ideal for holday cycling.

Bicycles can be hired from Isle of Man Cycle Hire. They will deliver them to East Ballabane along with any equipment needed. They can be hired on a daily basis to enable you to take advantage of sunny days.
