Retired nurse finds dream Manx stone cottage on *Escape to the Country* debut
The Isle of Man made its first appearance on Escape to the Country this week. The BBC programme followed 81-year-old Pat, a retired nurse from Lincolnshire, as she explored the island for a potential retirement move. She was drawn to its slower pace of life—and quickly fell for a charming Manx stone cottage.
Pat, nearly 82, toured three properties during the episode, all located in Port Erin and Laxey. The first was a traditional Manx stone cottage in Port Erin, priced at £279,500. She described it as 'beautiful' and admitted it was her top choice.
The programme marked the Isle of Man’s debut on Escape to the Country. Pat’s search for a quieter retirement led her to seriously consider the stone cottage in Port Erin. The episode also highlighted the island’s appeal to both potential residents and visitors.
