    The view was amazing but we were disappointed with the condition of the property and quality of fittings and equipment. The rear entrance felt unsafe.

    The Lookout is a beautiful, immaculately clean house with fantastic views from most of the windows. The bed was very comfortable and we spent an enjoyable week staying there. The property was let down by having no distinguishing sign at all at the rear entrance from the approach lane so we drove up and down the narrow track searching for it. Having decided to search on foot we went down the 16 steps ( which had been mentioned on the website) and ended up peering through windows to try to see if it was the cottage we had booked based on the website’s photos. There was a rickety metal hand rail, the end of which was wrapped in black tape presumably as a safety measure. We then noticed a wooden sign on a fence with the name ‘Torsa’. Not helpful at all and it would surely not be difficult to replace the handrail and erect an actual sign showing the current name of the property. Sorry to have to mention these negative points because once inside the actual house we were impressed with everything else.

    Great location for this property overlooking the Isle of Bute. A modern design but in order to exploit all of the features this house needs to be completely finished both inside & out. We had a great holiday here but it could have been better if the full design features were completed.

    Lovely very clean rental property with the most amazing views from the fabulous floor to ceiling windows. The balcony is perfect for catching the sun during the day. We loved our stay here and the only criticism is that it really needs a door on the en-suite as it is just open to the bedroom.

    Had a lovely week over new year in The Lookout. Views were amazing -every day regardless of weather. Loved the big open plan room. Everything was beautifully comfortable. Only problem was inability to contact housekeeper. Left message to phone back but they never did. There were a few things missing (like lots of wine glasses but no corkscrew!) The fridge was very small (no freezer) for 4 adults cooking meals over a holiday period. Thankfully weather was cold enough to store food outside. But nevertheless it’s been a fantastic week and we’ll be back.,

    Amazing views cottage was comfortable. However the steps in the back to the property are not good. Access should be made through the front steps to the side
