About this cottage rental
The Lookout is a former wartime signal station which has been lovingly converted into a comfortable and secluded holiday cottage. The Lookout is nestled on a hilltop 100 yards above the Davaar Island Lighthouse with outstanding views up Kilbrannan Sound and across to Arran and Ailsa Craig.
This one bedroom cottage is unique and charming with many features retained from its previous role. On the ground floor there is a wonderful open plan cosy kitchen/sitting room with a well equipped kitchen area s as well as a wood burning stove, providing the perfect setting for a peaceful break or romantic getaway.
Off the sitting room is the bedroom with a comfortable king size bed with heated mattress topper and 100% cotton ben linen. An ensuite bathroom with shower leads off the bedroom.
On the 2nd floor there is a wonderful Observatory from which the outstanding views can be enjoyed through the resident telescope and guests can relax in the comfortable seating complete with ample supply of reading and art materials.
One of the original features retained is an internal ladder through a hatch joining the sitting room and the observatory upstairs (unsuitable for infirm or children).
Leading off the observatory is a roof terrace which provides a secluded place to sit on sunny days or on clear nights, stargazing next to the fire pit can be an unforgettable experience.
All prices include full bed linen, towels, essential supplies (and complimentary local whisky, gin and our eggs!) as well as transfer to and from the island. Crossings are made to this remote island at low tide in our 4×4 with an experienced driver. We will advise on crossing times when you book.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2023
The property has a cosy comfy cottage feel and look internally. The bed was comfy as well. The viewing room above is great for reading etc. The Lookout really is a great place for viewing the sea and surrounding vistas! We enjoyed a very peaceful week away from normal life and noise. No noisy traffic except for the odd motorboat or lifeboat on call! We took our kayaks and were able to leave them near the slipway ready for use.
We explored around the island and across the bay as well as walking over the island. Toni & Ned were great hosts and available if we needed anything, especially a lift across the causway giving us extra time on the mainland before the tide turned! A great getaway in a cosy property! Will return in the near future!

We had a superb stay, with excellent hosts, Toni & Ned, who were helpful, generous and friendly. The Lookout was very clean . Both Ned & Toni provided help and advice when required. The whole experience was very enjoyable and memorable. We hope to return as soon as possible.

My husband & I had a fantastic stay at The Lookout. The name of the property says it all. The views from every angle are spectacular, both day & night (if its a clear night the skies are amazing).
The property was clean & very well equipped, we didn't want for anything.
