We had bought a 7 day travel pass for The Isle of Man, on our arrival at Ronaldsway Airport. This gave us unlimited travel on the buses, electric trams, the horse trams, the steam trains & other railways. Brilliant!
Our return air fares with EasyJet from Luton London Airport were £45 each, and we stayed self-catering at The Fisherman’s Cottage in Laxey.
