In the Isle of Man Tourism Surveys our guests voted Laxey Harbour Chalets into the Top 5 in both 2006 and 2007.

Laxey Harbour Chalets have been voted Best Self Catering Accommodation in the Isle of Man Tourism Awards 2009.

The Laxey Harbour Chalets are situated in Old Laxey, bordered by the Laxey River, overlooking the Harbour and Promenade.The whole area is backed by mature trees giving a peaceful location from which to enjoy your holiday.

Laxey is a lovely centre for the country walks, vintage transport, and a visit to the Lady Isabella - probably the largest working water wheel in the world.

Laxey promenade is a few minutes level walk, where there is a cafe serving home-made cakes and ice cream and a children's playground. Although pebbles at high water, a sandy beach and rock pools are uncovered when the tide goes out.

Historic Laxey is situated in a valley between Snaefell Mountain and the sea. The name Laxey comes from the Norse Lac-saa meaning salmon river. Old Laxey was once a thriving port and fishing village but now the harbour is full of leisure craft. About 3/4 mile inland lies the main part of the village. It was a development of the mining industry in Victorian times and the Manx Electric Railway line helped bring prosperity through early tourism.

There are a number of pubs in the village - some serving food. A church, woollen mills, cafes, a chemist, newsagent/post office, convenience store, fish shop selling locally caught fish and manx meat and a petrol station are all situated in the upper part of the village. From here you can also take the 100+ year old tramway to Ramsey, Douglas or to Snaefell summit. Laxey Glen Gardens, the Great Laxey Wheel and the Mines Railway are all nearby.

Within a few minutes walk of the chalets there is an Italian restaurant, a brew pub and harbour-side tea rooms.
