Tir Nan Oag has been extensively refurbished in 2020! All rooms have been redecorated and upgraded with some new furnishings. The house now has a relaxing Scandinavian/Alaskan theme. Our home is beautifully situated with superb views from 3 rooms to the North Atlantic Ocean, and Kirtomy is over a mile from the main A836 and hence is quiet, tranquil and peaceful. There are many interesting hikes and walks to be had, and the area is full of interesting, unique and rafre wildlife. Lovely Kirtomy Bay, with its jetty and rockpools, is just 10 minutes walk from the house. There is no locallight pollution at night, and the whole area has outstanding natural beauty. You'll love your stay here!

We are keen amateur astronomers, and on a clear dark night, we'd be very happy to give you a guided tour of the night sky through our two astronomical telescopes. We also run after school technology clubs and if you have children, we can guarantee to enthuse them with our fun electronic wizardry! We're non intrusive but very friendly and living in the nearby croft cottage, are available most of the time to offer help and advice.
