About Us:
  • We are a Fairtrade, Eco Friendly Community who have worked together over many years to help renovate and maintain the unique and much loved historic building of St James Church & Schoolrooms. We want to share our corner of the world with those who seek out special places. 
 
  • This is a community led not for profit initiative, part supported by the Isle of Man Lottery Foundation.
 
  • All proceeds after running costs go to the ongoing maintenance and restoration of the building. 

  • We are an Eco Church working together to reduce our carbon footprint : we encourage you to recycle where-ever possible using the bins provided.  All The Bunkhouse lights are LED; some are movement sensitive so automatically switch off. The wood burning stove uses locally sourced timber cut & dried in Dalby. 
 
  • The Bunkhouse, overlooks the sea and the far distant Mountains of Mourn. It is strategically placed for stunning sunsets! It was originally the schoolmasters house, built into the lower elevation of the historic church and schoolrooms at Dalby. 
 
  • It is ideally suited for anyone exploring the West Coast of the Island by car, on bike or by foot. It also offers overnight accommodation for those walking the Raad ny Foillan,  with the unique opportunity to take an extra day to hike to the remote hermits cell at Lhagg ny Killey before continuing on your way. 
 
  • We are a  ‘WiFi free zone’,  ( though 4G is good in the area!)  TV is available on request.
 
  • Background heating can be on 24/7 ; we provide you with an initial supply of wood for the stove; additional wood can be bought from the shop.
 
  • We welcome assistance Dogs
 
  • The Dalby Bunkhouse has separate access from church and schoolrooms on the South side of the building
 
  • Basic stores are provided. Self catering breakfast and evening meals plus any provisions for the day can be ordered in advance or bought from our small village shop. So, if you're walking the Raad ny Foillan you don't have to carry a sack of stuff with you.
