Picked this as it's close to Douglas, secluded and much cheaper than staying in a hotel, especially if we book the 3-bedroom houses. Haven't stayed there myself, but reviews have been good. Works out to approx. £50-70 per person for 3 nights depending on how many are sharing per house, which is pretty cheap, or we could just split the entire cost evenly amongst everyone to make it fair. Any suggestions welcomed. Any updates on ferry crossings?

Here's the link to the poll.

Hello,

Accommodation looks good

Looked at crossings on http://www.aferry.com/ which includes Steam Packet co. I looked at the 29.11 weekend:

Heysham out at 14.15 on Thursday 29th and 8.00 back on Sunday to Birkenhead - as Jana suggested - seem the only suitable options. Heysham is further North to get to than Birkenhead but there are no crossings out from Birkenhead during the week (and there are no crossings at all from Liverpool during Nov to March) so that's it really. The cost for 2 people and a vehicle is £205 , fairly sizeable.
Yep, the ferry isn't cheap, but hopefully we save via accommodation. If we choose the accommodation I've suggested, and get 2-3 3-bedroom houses and pack in 6 people in each house, it'll bring cost down to approx. £50 per person for 3 nights, which goes someway to offsetting the ferry costs, plus we can cook our own food in the houses, which would be fun I suppose. If someone could find even cheaper crossings or accommodation, all the better.
