It is said that when the Sea God Mannanan lived and ruled on the Isle of Man, he would protect his beloved Island by throwing down his cloak of mist preventing invading marauders from seeing his island and thus they would sail by…

Mannanan, from whom the Isle of Man takes its name, the Moddey Dhoo, the Buggane and many more folklore legends embroider the rich tapestry of our long Manx heritage. Nowadays they take their place alongside the TT motorcycle races, Manx Cats and Kippers and our 1000 year old Parliament in providing an Island that has something for everyone and in such a compact area!

We invite you, whether your interest is golf, motorbikes and other motorsports, history, vintage transport, walking, fishing or just relaxing!

Come, take the welcome, and allow Mannanan’s Isle to bewitch you.    Ballure self catering accommodation is a perfect base for your vacation and exploring the IOM and all it has to offer.

Facilities recently added and pictured below include playground and picnic area, sheltered barbeque corner with BBQ equipment available, and viewing balcony - all with stunning panoramic coastal views.
