Welcome to Creglea Barns


We're a small farm based just above the famous Niarbyl Bay. You may have seen it in the film Waking Ned!  We are situated on the West Coast of the Isle of Man, and several beaches are within walking and driving distance. The sunsets here are stunning and you'll definitely need your camera at the ready. 

 Once you turn down the drive, you'll wind around the farm and arrive with some of the most breathtaking views of the Irish Sea, facing Ireland and Scotland. 

Creglea Barns are situated off the main road on a working farm and accessed by a tarmac drive followed by rough drive.   We host two accomodations: Curlew Cottage and Oyster Catcher. They are named after the many Curlews and Oyster Catchers that we hear and see at Creglea Farm. Each of the cottages has the following facilities: central heating, bath, shower, dishwasher, washing machine, drying facilities, fridge/freezer, microwave, oven, hob, coffee machine, slow cooker, smart TV and WIFI. There are TVs in each of the bedrooms. All linen is provided and a change of linen will be provided weekly or fresh linen upon request. Should you be avid walkers, we have got everything you need to get you ready for your next day's walk.  


Parking is available on site beside the cottages. 

Have a look through our gallery of photos and if you have any questions, we're always happy to chat. 

Safe travels!

Our stay at Oyster Catcher at Creglea Barns was absolutely magical! Nestled in the breathtaking Isle of Man countryside, this stunning property offered the perfect balance of luxury, comfort, and tranquility.

From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the panoramic coastal views—waking up to views of the sea and the sight of rolling hills was pure bliss. The barn itself is beautifully designed, blending rustic charm with modern elegance. The interiors are spacious, tastefully decorated, and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing getaway.

The attention to detail was exceptional—from the thoughtfully stocked kitchen to beautifully appointed bathrooms, that made self-catering a breeze. The beds were heavenly, ensuring a great night’s sleep after exploring the stunning nearby beaches and coastal walks.

The location is perfect for those seeking a peaceful escape while still being close to local attractions. Whether you’re a nature lover, a keen walker, or just looking to unwind in luxury, Oyster Catcher is an absolute gem.

We left feeling refreshed, recharged, and already planning our next visit. Five stars aren’t enough for this incredible place—highly recommended!
