It's a first for Escape to the Country as Jules Hudson heads to the Isle of Man. He's helping a retired nurse from Lincolnshire who has been holidaying on the island for over 70 years. So, the big question is, who is really showing whom around?

With a £275,000 budget, they explore charming homes and soak up the highlights, from the harbour town of Peel to the mighty Great Laxey Wheel. There's even a trip on the Snaefell Mountain Railway to enjoy the breathtaking views from the top. Jules also meets an enthusiastic gardener who took the leap and moved to the island from the USA, despite never having heard of it before.

Sun, sea and seals... it's another glorious escape to the country in Cornwall, where Alistair Appleton is helping a retired couple from the Wirral find their perfect Cornish retreat within walking distance of a pub. After years of happy family holidays there, and now with their son and new grandson living locally, they're ready to make the move and live in Cornwall full-time. With a £400,000 budget and a love of bungalows, Alistair has some tempting options to show them. He also pops by the Cornish Seal Sanctuary to meet some of its permanent and temporary residents.
