Lovely cottage clean and warm, comfortable and very well equipped, good location, nice views Access to the front lawn is not easy for guests with mobility issues, 3 wide steps off decking and then 6 steep steps to lawn but no handrails which would be a big improvement Would still recommend

Tir Nan Og is a comfortable, clean, bright and very well equipped holiday property. The views over the sea to the hills beyond are stunning particularly from the sun room, lounge and main bedroom. Even in winter! There’s a lovely walk from the property to either Castle Point or Rockcliffe itself via woods and coastal paths. We had an enjoyable, relaxing week.
