Chapel Bay Lodge

Change over day: Flexible

Excellent base to explore the Isle of Man then return to the comfortable lodge in a wee seaside town. The house is just beside the beach for a relaxing stroll or swim in a safe bay. Gaby has provided everything you need along with welcome extras and the lodge is beautifully decorated.

Chapel Bay Lodge was perfect; property was extremely clean, facilities excellent, couldn’t fault it. The lodge overlooks Port st Mary bay. The town itself is an excellent location - lovely small town that has good restaurants, a co-op and is well served by buses and the steam railway. Ending the day at the Sound watching the seals is a must. We had a great week, so much so that we have immediately booked again.

We’ve stayed at chapel bay many times and always have a great time. Gabby is great and makes sure you’re well looked after. Would highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting Port st Mary.

We had a great stay in this homely apartment. Great location to explore Port St Mary as well as the rest of the island, with public transport being a great option . The Lodge had everything we needed and the bed was SO comfortable! Appreciated having the welcome basket, that was a nice touch.
It was great being able to have our dog with us. There aren’t many dog friendly apartments which are right next to the beach, and a grassy area for nighttime walks! I’d thoroughly recommend a visit. Thanks again, Gaby.

We can highly recommend Chapel Bay Lodge. If you are looking for a charming, peaceful seaside location it definitely fits the bill. The apartment is spacious, very well appointed and comfortable. The seascape decor is fun and artistic and adds to the whole seaside experience. There are great walks on the doorstep and some good restaurants in the locality. A truly relaxing experience. Thank you Gaby for being such a good host. Andrew and Gill

We have had such a fantastic stay here! The apartment is beautifully decorated, clean and very welcoming! This is our favourite place - Port St Mary - and we'll be back!

We absolutely loved Chapel Bay Lodge. Gaby was an excellent host and we will certainly recommend and come back. Perfect location and stunning little apartment with everything you need for a lovely little getaway.

Lovely apartment, very clean and warm. Really friendly host, dog was happy! Would definitely return!

Lovely apartment, everything's clean and well presented. We would stay again. *****

We have a lovely relaxing time here, definitely will be back for longer next time...

Enjoyed our stay in this lovely apartment. Lots of lovely coastal walks and the snowy hills were a bonus.
Highly recommend a trip to the Shore Hotel in Gansey - only a 20 minute walk. Cosy bar area and really good food (and a warm welcome). Also the Sound Cafe at the end of the Island is a wonderful spot to visit (dog friendly too!).
All in all, a good, restful break with a comfortable place to end up each day.
PS forgot to mention, if you fancy heading up to Snaefell, stop at the Victory Cafe. You can walk to the summit from there. Good food (great pies!) - but suggest you eat after the walk (and not before as we did!)

Loved our short stay at the lodge! Fantastic location just across from the beach and such a lovely apartment - a great balance of practicality, comfort and creativity. We hope to return.

Returner to Gaby's apartment. We'll be back I'm sure!

We had 3 nights from New Year's Eve. What a fabulous way to see in the New Year. Lovely, cosy, beachy accommodation with everything we needed. Great location, can leave the car and go on foot as close or as far as you want. The Albert is a great pub with log fire and very friendly staff. Our little dog Freddie loved it, fantastic beach right across the road and local pubs are mainly do friendly. I would highly recommend this accommodation.

We absolutely loved our time at this beautiful little condo. The photos were lovely but the effect of being here in person surprised us by being so much prettier than expected. This is a very well designed space with high ceilings that make it feel even more spacious than it is. The location is amazing, right on the Promenade in Port Le Moirrey (Port St Mary), across from the bay and the sea. Very walkable to Coffee Corner just four minutes up the walking path and a cute little Co-op for groceries. Drivable within twenty minutes to the airport, Castle Rushen, multiple stops of the steam locomotive (we used the Ballasalla stop and loved it), Cregneash (living Manx historical village), Rushen Abbey, Meayll Circle, and many other amazing locations. Gaby provided a binder with useful information about local restaurants. WiFi was excellent. Check out was simple (just bring rubbish from bin into green wheelie bin accessible through rear stairs). The bed and linens were very comfortable. Shower and bath with good water pressure and hot water. The kitchen was on the narrow side (hard for my husband who is a big tall person to use) but had needful equipment for cooking.The space is well decorated and homey. We really enjoyed our time there.

Great stay in IOM, using Gaby's apartment as a base. All mod cons and extremely comfortable - lovely views across the bay and beautiful sunrise each day. We recommend it without reservation.

This comfortable, stylish and spacious flat provided the perfect base from which to explore the Island and being able to walk our dog from the front door was much appreciated.

The perfect space in the perfect place for two people and a dog. Gaby was always quick to respond and provided lots of useful information at the Lodge to help us plan our trip, and the welcome parcel was perfect for arriving after a long trip. Would definitely recommend if you're looking to visit IOM.

Such a great spot, really enjoyed the space, it has everything you need. We would definitely recommend the Italian restaurant, and The Shore - which is also dog friendly (bar area). Also The Albert has a great view from the pub garden, well worth a sit on a dry day. Thanks for letting us stay. We've been here a week and still feel like we need more time to get to know the area.

Superb location with a magic view! Port St Mary is a beautiful village with a couple of nice pubs and cafes. We found it to be a really great base. The flat is quite spacious and comfortable with nearly everything you would need, washing machine excluded. Gaby was a great host, both communicative and flexible. We highly recommend.

We loved the ambiance and would certainly return again.

Have had 4 lovely days here and loved being in your accommodation... so artistic and quirky. We have really enjoyed walks around Port St Mary and exploring the rest of the island. We'll be back!

Well after all the delays it was well worth the wait! Superb location and accommodation first class. We would certainly recommend to family and friends.

This is a superb location, quiet and tranquil. The apartment is so well situated and has everything you would need. I would highly recommend.

Thank you for an enjoyable, comfortable stay in quirky, delightful and compact Chapel Bay Lodge. See you again.

We have enjoyed our week spent in your 'quirky' flat. The views from the front are stunning. A good base for exploring the island. Can recommend The Creek in Peel - good pub with food.

Thank you Gaby! Such a peaceful place to start my TT work in and the swimming across the bay was awesome. Lovely neighbourhood too. Chapel Bay Lodge was perfect!

Had a lovely 4 night stay in chapel bay lodge the location was perfect lovely sea views from our window the apartment was spotless and had everything we needed , we explored a lot of the beautiful island we will definitely be coming back in the near future .

What a delightful surprise for our first stay away since the outbreak of Covid. The Lodge is very comfortable and beautifully decorated. We'll definitely try to come again and recommend you to our friends in Cornwall. Thank you Gaby and Nick.

Loved our stay here in your apartment. Walked for miles! Would highly recommend to our friends. 1st time to IOM, lovely quiet place to stay. Thank you.

Lovely place. Clean and well furnished. Great location. Bigger than it seems in the photos. Very much enjoyed our stay.

really enjoyed our stay, will be back for another weekend

Gorgeous place, comfy bed and beautifully decorated.

We enjoyed it a lot staying in this cosy and comfortable apartment. Especially the area on the step in front of the windows where we cherished having breakfast in the sun - in October! Port St Mary is a nice little town - we warmly recommend to take that beautiful walk along the coastline to the Sound (where we watched seals playing) and further on to Port Erin. Thank you, Gaby, for those wonderful days!

Excellent Host, Beautiful location, peaceful, beach across the road and in view from the living room window. Gorgeous accommodation, i loved the beach theme. This is a great location for exploring the island. We loved it, i went wild swimming with the Blue Tits at nearby beaches. Watched the Seals further South. You will not be disappointed. I will be booking again.

A lovely bolt hole in a beautiful location.

Had a wonderful stay in your lovely flat - very much enjoyed the themed decoration! Was a cosy place to come back to after the long walk along the coast to Port Erin. Will be at the top of our list if we come back to the Isle of Man (fingers crossed)!

Our third stay in this lovely flat! Great holiday feel and super comfy. Superb spot for the beautiful southern peninsula. With the lovely beach opposite and lovely dog walks along the coastal path it’s a really comfy dog welcoming holiday home. 5 stars would recommend.

A super well equipped apartment in a perfect location, ideal for some lovely walks around Port St Mary and Port Erin area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Chapel Bay Lodge and will pay the area another visit. Thank you.

Lovely accommodation spotlessly clean everything you need for great break. In nice position close to facilities and fantastic sea views. Good choice of walks nearby.

Had an amazing stay here, the place is stunning, great location and Gaby was very attentive, would highly recommend.

Loved our stay! A real hidden gem. Within walking distance of everything. Could have stayed a lot longer. Love to come back soon. PS really recommend the local Italian and Corner Cafe.

Wow what a lovely stay. The apartment is very well laid out and the decor is beautiful. A great location and we had lovely weather. Our daughter loved the window seat! We are already planning our next stay.

Excellent communication from Gaby . On arrival it was immaculately clean. Gaby had left milk, biscuits, bath soak, washing liquid and hand wash, and sachets of tea and coffee . The decor is minimal and quirky. Bed very comfortable. Across road from lovely beach. Area very quiet but within close distance from lovely walks and good transport. Thankyou.

What a beautiful location and well appointed property.
Everything we needed for a wonderful stay in the Isle of Man.
Thoroughly recommended.

What a wonderful location and well appointed flat. We've had a wonderful holiday and will recommend Chapel Bay to friends and family.

Wow what an amazing place so quirky we had a wonderful time at the lodge everything was wonderful ideal for the bus route wonderful walks we will definitely recommend this place home from home amazing Jane & Brian karran.

Thanks Gaby. We have had a super weekend. The apartment was great, had everything we needed. Home from home. We have had some lovely meals out and great walks. We had a nice snooze on the deckchairs yesterday before a trip to Castletown. Many thanks, we will recommend it to friends.

Thanks Gaby for your kind understanding and for always answering our queries so promptly. The flat provided all we needed, we love the artwork and it's been good to get to know this part of the island better. Thanks again, hopefully we will be back!

Absolutely gorgeous apartment, and so clean!! much bigger than expected and so many lovely little touches like the deck chairs, milk in the fridge, and yummy biscuits. Amazing value for money, thanks so much!

Beautifully designed and very clean

Great mini staycation! Brilliant views from the window seat and a lovely suntrap patio! The apartment was lovely and I definitely would stay again!

Thanks for making what was meant to be our wedding day amazing! We had a lovely relaxing time lounging on the deck chairs in the sun! Then a delicious meal at The Fishery. We loved the decor and the window seat, I think we will use this apartment as inspiration when decorating our own house. Thanks again!

Comfy bed, great sleeps and the sea outside. That's a holiday!

A treat to get away, so tranquil and calm. Loved being by the ocean and the sunshine was a blessing indeed. We slept so well in the lovely big bed and had afternoon naps on the deckchairs! We're leaving relaxed and refreshed! We appreciated the fun interior design, so cool! We'll recommend to friends near and far!

What a lovely little apartment - so peaceful! A real home away from home and the weather treated us kindly. The fish and chips were amazing - even better than Bourne Plaice in Ramsey, if that's possible. We will definitely recommend to everyone.

Thank you once again for us being able to stay at Chapel Bay Lodge. It has been a long time coming for our second stay... A much needed break in this gem of an apartment. I think when you don't live in the south you forget what beauty there is here. Perfect apartment, perfect location, perfect hosts. Hope we will be back for a third time, people really don't know what they are missing.

Had a great time and gaby has very fast responses! Can’t wait to go back!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. What a beautiful apartment. A much needed break to de-stress. Had 2 great nights sleep on the comfy bed. Love the decor and very well equipped. Thank you.

We have just had a lovely 2 day staycation at Chapel Bay Lodge. All the facilities you will need for a relaxing stay and the unique design and furnishings make it a memorable stay. I am sure we will be back and definitely recommend it as a great base to explore the south of the island

What a perfect place for a staycation! The apartment had everything we needed for a cosy weekend by the sea.

Loved Chapel Bay Lodge, what a delightful place. Very conveniently located. The decor was great, with a nautical theme, loved all the wood. A lot of thought had gone into the design. Perfect for my friend and I, with great facilities. We dined at the nearby (15 minute walk) Fishery, which was great. The owner kept in touch. Would definitely recommend this to friends and family and would certainly stay again.

Wow, what a beautiful hidden gem you have. Wonderfully decorated and home from home. Great location, will definitely return. Felt like I had been away to a beautiful seaside town in England. Thank you Gaby for sharing your home with us. See you soon!

What a super place for a much needed get-away! Couldn't have asked for more with a super comfy bed and lovely shower. Thank you very much!

Dear Gaby, we have had the most perfect stay in your apartment.

We had a lovely 3 day staycation in this lovely apartment with our 2 small dogs. We were extremely impressed with the cleanliness and comfort throughout, and how well appointed it was. The direct access onto the cliffs and coastal walks was an added bonus and was great for exercising the dogs. We enjoyed it so much that we intend to return soon!
We have to also say how friendly and professional Gaby and Nick are, queries prior to and during our stay were answered and dealt with promptly. Thanks to them both.

Gaby and Nick,
Thank you for making our fist family get away so easy. The cot and toys are amazing to have and helped us out immensely. Your apartment is beautiful, we love all the quirky bits, especially the gate lighting. The apartment is so equipped with everything. We will definitely be back.

Gaby and Nick,
What a little gem of a place you have!! We have loved our time here. Wish we could stay longer. Thank you for all the little touches to make our stay so wonderful. So much attention to detail! We hope to be back soon, if you'll have us :)

Just come back from a two night stay at Chapel Bay lodge and we enjoyed every minute. The apartments decor is outstanding having used lots of reclaimed wood and the soft furnishings are very tastefully done, lots of hard work gone into this apartment but so well worth it. It was also spotlessly clean and comfortable with everything you could possibly need on your stay.
The apartment is ideally situated to the shops and beach with lovely short coastal walks to the Quay and Gansey. All in all a lovely staycation and would highly recommend, well done Gaby 😊

Dear Gaby,
What a totally beautiful and imaginative apartment you have created! So much attention to detail. Everywhere was totally spotless, we wanted for nothing. The bed is the most comfortable we have slept on. Port St Mary is such a jewel and Chapel Bay Lodge simply adds to that. When you can stay in such a beautiful apartment why would we want to go to the UK. Amazing, amazing, amazing. A huge thank you from us both.

We had a very enjoyable stay thank you. A very comfortable and clean place that had everything we needed. We loved our staycation!

We loved our stay here thank you. The decor of the apartment is amazing and all in all a beautiful little gem. Will highly recommend this place to friends and family. What a way to celebrate my birthday.

Thank you, this was just what we needed! A most attractive, welcoming and comfortable base for a varied and enjoyable stay. We really did feel we were on holiday... all the way from Ballaugh!

Lovely apartment with pretty seaside decor! Check in very easy and amazing location on the beach. Would definitely stay again!

I loved the nautical style and design touches of the apartment. It was really comfortable and I found everything I needed for cooking. The booking and check in procedure was quick and easy. Brilliant location for the beach, some great walks and the local Co-Op for supplies. Good WiFi! Would love to stay again.

Chapel Bay Lodge is in a perfect spot, overlooking the beach in Port St Mary and nearby the coastal path which is ideal for walks and seal spotting. The apartment itself is lovely. The photos simply do not do it justice. We found it much bigger than expected. The apartment is stylishly presented with lots of thoughtful touches. Gaby is the perfect host, very efficient but not overbearing. We had complete privacy but Gaby was quick to respond to any queries. We were first time visitors to the Isle of Man and were absolutely blown away by how beautiful and unspoilt it is. We will definitely be returning. I have no hesitation in recommending this accommodation and have friends who have already booked.

This is a fantastic beachside retreat. An idyllic peaceful little village with beautiful views. The Lodge is spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated in contemporary seaside theme with lots of lovely little touches. Gaby was super helpful in our requests and helped to make our stay on the island extra special. Definitely a place to visit time and time again.

Great place, warm, cosy home from home with the sea so close... just what I wanted.

What a gem! Cannot wait to visit again.

It was a second stay and we had a great time and can't wait to return. Can't recommend this flat enough! You'll have a wonderful time!

As advertised, spotlessly clean - recommended :)

A beautifully curated space with lovely touches and a great location right beside the beach. If this place is free I would snap it up as it is our favourite place to stay on the island! Gaby is a wonderful host and you will be very overwhelmed by the loveliness of her flat. Thanks so much again for making our stay such a great one. Hope to be back again soon!

Great place to stay - terrific location, great accommodation and good value.

A very lovely place to lay our heads and listen to the waves.

Lovely seaside location, spotlessly clean and lots of local info, would not hesitate to recommend to others

We stayed at Chapel Bay Lodge for a trip away to visit my Family in the Isle of Man. Location was absolutely stunning, so close to the beach, with wonderfully thoughtful and quirky nautical themed decor to match. Gaby was the best host, with clear comminution- she was on hand to help with anything we needed! The space is so beautiful and light, and really made it feel like a home away from home. Can’t fault it and we can’t wait to come back soon!!

Lovely place with brilliant views a little quiet area but all amenities that are needed for a good stay.

Thanks once again for a stay at Chapel Bay. It really is a fantastic little apartment you have and we are sincerely looking forward to our next trip with you in 2020!

Lovely ground floor apartment in a quiet area. It is bigger than it looks on the photos! Beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Lovely to stroll on the beach of an evening - just across the quiet road. Handy for local restaurant and take always (walking distance) Definitely recommend.

Really comfortable place to stay. Bright, spacious and nicely decorated. Convenient location right across the road from a sheltered beach with walkway and benches. 5 mins walk to coop (grocery shop) and 2 nice coffee shops. Lovely spot, highly recommended!

Gaby’s place is small, but funkily stylish, well-equipped and spotlessly clean. It is situated close to all amenities in the charming harbourside town of Port St Mary, which although small, has a number of cafes and restaurants, beautiful views, walks and beaches. Nice touches, such as tea, coffee and cookies provide a warm welcome, along with information about the area. Gaby is a responsive and helpful host. Altogether, a lovely place to stay!

Great flat. Very helpful owner. Good location, had everything we needed, comfy and clean. Very good instructions from airport.

Spacious accommodation with quirky decor, in a wonderful setting. Friendly locals, with nice cafes and the amazing Fish House. Couldn't fault it in any way and would love to stay again.

A great place to stay while in Port St. Mary. Very clean, comfortable, and convenient with all the amenities we needed. Gaby was a great host - always prompt to reply and very helpful. Will definitely request staying here on our next trip to the IOM.

Was a beautiful space with loads of funky ideas.

Just returned from a week at Chapel Bay lodge. It's a lovely place to stay. The Lodge is spacious, comfortable and well-equipped and makes for a relaxed holiday. It's full of character with ingenious use of upcycled materials, all of which gives it a seaside holiday vibe, yet it feels homely too. We'd love to return.

This is such a lovely location and a beautiful home. The photos don't quite indicate how spacious it really is, especially the front room and bedroom. Brilliant design for keeping sound and light out of the bedroom even if one person is up and about while the other is sleeping. Great spot to tour the southern island from.

Relaxed from the get go of this beautifully presented exceptionally clean and comfortable home.

The apartment was really homely with lovely decor and very clean. There was a cute welcome tray on arrival and the biscuits were a lovely added touch. There were lots of thoughtful extras like deckchairs that we made good use of as we even had some sunshine!! Super comfy bed and a nice big bath to relax in. Port St Mary was a really quaint town and you can do a great coastal walk to St Erin. It was a really lovely, quiet, relaxing break.

The location is fantastic, and Gaby did a great job bringing the beach theme into the property. It was cozy and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and look forward to coming back.

Well worth it , love the decor

Nice place, super clean and uncluttered, perfect for escaping the rat race for a while. Gaby was always at hand to answer our calls, overall a very good stay.

Delightful place to stay right on the front at Port St. Mary, overlooking the beach and the harbour, on the ground floor of a Victorian terrace house on the promenade (palm trees, sort of Manx Torquay). Easy to get to from Douglas and a good jumping off point for the rest of the island. You can do the walk round the southern headland (The Chasms and Spanish Head) following the Raad ny Foillan round-island route straight from your front door. About 7 miles round to Port Erin and another mile or a bus ride back across the neck of the peninsula. All mod cons in the flat and Gaby has decorated it in a delightful style.

Had a great time, Gaby's place is lovely and well kept. There's a fish shop, grocery, and pharmacy right up the street, and it's easy to catch the bus or hike on the coastal footpath from the apartment. Recommended.

Great place that is well thought out, very new and very clean. It’s also in a beautiful location for walks. Would definitely recommended it.

A beautiful, fun, bright and welcoming place with a stunning location. The decor is fun and uplifting, the flat is bright, airy and comfortable with a huge super king-sized bed. The location overlooking the lovely harbour at Port St Mary is beautiful and Gaby was a joy to deal with. Just perfect!

A lovely apartment in a lovely spot. With an eye for great design and minimalist style, this place is immediately bright and calming. Parking was easy, instructions clear and the welcome tray was a bonus. Gaby was easy to contact and quick to answer. I would love to stay again sometime.

Fantastic apartment with lots of space, comfy beds and places to sit. Great kitchen. Perfect location to explore the south of Isle of Man. Convenient to bus. Nice places to eat. Gaby was wonderful, highly recommend!

A fab apartment, in a great location, everything was perfect. Would definitely stay again xx

It is a wonderful flat, beautifully decorated, cosy and comfy and a fabulous location! We were lucky with the weather and each morning we enjoyed our coffee out on the benches across the very quiet road looking out over the water- just brilliant :)

Gaby is the perfect host, there when you need her and not if you don't! The location is perfect along with the apartment, decorated to a high standard and "sea themed" throughout. This is our third visit to the island and we will be booking again.

A delightful place to stay overlooking the harbour. You will be fascinated by the interior decoration of this well equipped self catering apartment

Great space, loved the seaside theme. Great location close to great walks, restaurants, shops and transport. Very peaceful. Very cosy. Highly recommend it.

The apartment was excellent, had everything we needed, very spacious, and great location for us. Gaby could not have been a better host, very thoughtful and accommodating. Would highly recommend.

Awesomeness personified
