The view is fantastic,location is fantastic,and the food and staff are fantastic,you couldn't wish for a better place to eat.You would pay a lot of money for that setting, elsewhere.A truly romantic setting. You need to go and see for yourself,you wont be disappointed. More

Lovely view of the Calf of Man whilst eating a great lunch of Manx kippers. There was plenty of choice on the menu at good value. More

This is at the southern tip of the Isle of Man - you can walk from Port Erin, or alternatively you can park at the Cregneash Village (another great attraction!) and it's about 15 minutes from there. Of course, you can drive right up to the Calf Sound visitor centre, there's plenty of parking if you don't fancy a walk!... More

This is one of the greatest places on earth. It is simple and peacful... the view I mean - the seals and the birds and the currents that cross. The visitor centre is more of a resting place for a warm coffee and cake and bathroom stop too. More

This is situated at the very south of the island and is well worth a visit. Calling it a visitor centre is a bit of a misnomer - it's really just a pleasant cafe in a stunning location. The view from the cafe and the land in front is wonderful. Watching the waves lashing the Calf of Man which is... More
