Introduction

The Cunard Apartments are located on Loch Promenade overlooking Douglas Marine Gardens and Bay. We are situated directly in front of Douglas town centre within yards of all the main shops and restaurants.

The building has six large and spacious two bedroomed apartments spread over three floors, accessible by stairs only. Each apartment also contains a small split-level set of steps between the front and back halves of the layout.

The Cunard was built in the late 1870’s in the traditional Victorian style of the day and although the property has been extensively refurbished to create the more recent units of apartment accommodation within its shell, it still nevertheless contains the original build characteristics of the house of that time which may make access difficult for people with limited mobility. For example the building does not have a lift and the construction and design of the building is not suitable for the installation of a lift.

We do try very hard to meet individual needs of each client and we very much look forward to welcoming you to the Cunard Apartments. If you have any queries or require any assistance regarding the above then please phone +44 (0)1624 676728 or email info@cunard-accom.com
