Ravenscliffe House built in 1849 is considered one of the original 10 mansion houses in Douglas and commands promenant views of Douglas Bay from above the entrance to Douglas Harbour. It was orignally built by Downes Edwards an inventor who learned how to preserve vegetables in tin cans. His Daughter Mary was also a well known book illustrator in the late 1890's. The historic house has more recently been used as a film location for the film "Albatross" (2009) starting Julie Ormond, Jessica Brown-Findlay, Felicity Jones & Sebastian Kock in which the property was the "Cliff House".

David & Elaine Quayle have owned the property since 1999, where they have lived and brought up their three boys. Ravenscliffe is our passion and we love to spend our weekends about the grounds and making use of the facilities the property has to offer. Although only 10 minutes walk to the heart of the town centre, the property is very secluded with electric entrance gates making it wonderfully private to the owners and their guests.

Douglas Headland is a beautifully reserved conservation area of open parkland which attract locals and visitors to walk or sit and admire the incredible view over Douglas Bay, Douglas Town Centre and the commerical harbour entrance below. You can also walk the coastal path for miles, visiting the various memorials in the area, the light house on the cliff edge & the camera obscura. Just 10 minutes walk down to the inner harbour you will find all the local bars, nightlife & restaurants within walking distance of the sea terminal, bus station, steam railway, horse drawn trams, electric railways and shopping centre.
