The location is repeatedly described as excellent, peaceful, and offering spectacular views. Proximity to the sea, walking routes, and local attractions is a major highlight for guests.

    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

  • Graham Smith

    Had a lovely holiday in excellent accommodation with everything you need to enjoy a good relaxing break in beautiful surroundings. Will definitely recommend to friends and family and hope to visit again in the future. Thank you.

    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.
