Sunnycott Halt is a wayside request stop on the Manx Electric Railway on the Isle of Man.

Location

The halt is situated on a small "B" road, gaining its name from that of a nearby private dwelling. As part of the nature of the line, it has in the past been a stopping place for local travellers because the inter-urban line runs with no platformed-stations they can stop anywhere within reason. This area, over a period of time became established as a regular stopping place.
