GETTING THERE

In addition to ferry services from Heysham, Liverpool, Belfast and Dublin, there are over 200 flights from UK and Ireland airports to the Isle of Man each week. Once on the island, it is best to hire a car. Try ASP (aspcarhire.com) and request a satnav for navigating the island.

Jessica and family were guests of Visit Isle of Man, and stayed in a self-catering holiday home in Santon courtesy of Ballavartyn, an exclusive equestrian centre. visitisleofman.com
