To ensure that all our guests enjoy a relaxing holiday, please note that accommodation is not available for children or pets; and Close Taggart is a no-smoking environment.
We are very willing to assist with mobility issues, but unfortunately we are unable to accommodate full time wheel chair users due to the layout of the cottage. You can park close to the entrance, with a gravel/grassed area and cobblestones leading to two small entrance steps. Inside the cottage the kitchen and lounge are on the ground floor with normal width stairs leading to the bedroom and bathroom on the first floor.

Make yourself at home at "Close Taggart - an Island of Tranquillity in the Island of Mann" "Ellan y Shee", as we say.
Do you want peace, tranquillity and security? You will find them all at Close Taggart. Hidden away from today's noise and distraction, you will have a rare chance to experience the joy of living in the heart of the ancient Curragh of the Isle of Mann.

Relax. The Curragh is a secret place. From Spring to Summer's end, hay meadows and hedgerows abound with flowers, hum with insects and echo to birdsong. In Autumn and Winter, the air hangs heavy with the scent of fallen leaves and wild fruits.

Follow a neatly kept private lane flanked by a stream and mature hedgerows to this former smallholding. There you will stay in a delightful cottage, decorated and equipped to the highest standards.

Enjoy the lovely secluded gardens that now surround this magnificent property, which you can use as a base to follow your holiday interests: walking, historic sites, museums, golf - and much more!
