Welcome to the Kintyre Cottages Website

The Island Cottages - In a superb, secluded location by the sea on the 160-acre island of Davaar, this unique pair of cottages enjoy stunning views.

Otter and Island Cottages are an adjoining pair of cosy and spacious lighthouse keepers' cottages (the lighthouse is now automatic). Otter and Island Cottages share a walled enclosure with the neighbouring caretaker. Set at the northern tip of Davaar Island, they are connected to the mainland by a causeway, revealed by the sea for 6 hours at low tide.

On arrival and departure, and for arranged shopping trips, visitors will be ferried by Landrover across the causeway (leaving their cars at the quayside).

Once on the island, the mainland is a 15-minute walk across the causeway, and Campbeltown, with good shops and restaurants, is a further 2 miles by car.

The island's moorland, hills and rocky shore are home to a wealth of wildlife - dolphins, basking sharks, otters, seals and sea-birds are regular visitors, and even the occasional golden eagle may be seen.

There is glorious walking and there are many picnic spots. Locally there is good fishing, riding, sailing and golf.
