Davaar Island Cottages

11/01/2025

Lovely checking in with our young Highland cows during this recent cold snap…. grazing naturally on grass and seaweed whilst roaming across Davaar enjoying the elements and beautiful views!

Their collars gently warn them away from the cliffs etc and allow them to graze the island freely to enhance the natural habitat and our restoration efforts 🌿

Happy 2025 ⭐️

Just one of the very kind 5⭐️ reviews and comments we had last year. All bookings can be done through our website (link in Bio above) or just drop the team an email [email protected]

“There are no words in a review that can explain how this small island leaves you feeling….”

Just one of the very kind 5⭐️ reviews and comments we have this last year…All down to the incredible hard work of our resident caretaking couple Ned & Toni. 🙌🏻

We’ve just had a 2 week break - and now we’ve all recovered from Storm Darragh🌊, are all set to welcome our guests this festive season! 🎄 Fingers crossed for some of those clear starlit nights and incredible sunrises 🤞🏻

There are so many beautiful walks right on our doorstep on Davaar.

One of our guest favourites come rain or shine is a walk to the summit.

Or a slow meander down to the slipway, or across The Dhorlin and soak up the mass of wildlife

Then it’s back to the cottages for a fire.

If you are visiting us, we are always happy to suggest some wonderful local walks suited to all weather.

Clear, crisp evenings on Davaar are just made for star and sea gazing beside a crackling fire pit ✨🔥

Beautiful king size bed, en-suite bathroom, fully fitted kitchen and cosy sitting room with wood burning stove on the ground floor. Up above and accessed through internal ladder or external stairs is the stunning Observatory.

Brilliantly clear weather in the early hours of this morning. Here is a small bit of the Milky Way Galactic Core, rising up over Davaar island.

The "glow" that you can see just above the horizon is due to light pollution. This is why it is important to protect our night skies. Here is Kintyre we are fairly lucky to have mostly dark skies in all directions, but looking to our East is where we start to see light pollution form the various towns and cities towards the central belt.

Our 2 Highland heifers Polly & Emma catching the breeze 🥰

Their collars gently warn them away from the cliffs etc and allow them to roam the island freely to enhance the natural habitat and our restoration efforts 🌿
