Access Statement for Surfside

Introduction

Surfside is a converted bake house situated on a small rise around 50 yards from the beach, and a similar distance from the village of Port Erin. As it is built into a hill, the main living room, study and kitchen are on what is nominally the “first floor”, with the conservatory, bath/shower room (with toilet) and bedrooms downstairs.

Travel to the Isle of Man is by sea or air, and if travelling by car, Surfside is approximately 30 minutes drive from the sea terminal in Douglas, or 15 minutes from the airport which is just north of Castletown. Alternatively, Port Erin benefits from excellent bus services. During the main summer months the narrow gauge steam railway also operates.

Welcome

On your arrival we will be at the cottage to welcome you and provide a guided tour, and at the same time we will be happy to discuss any aspects of the island that you might be interested in.
