3 Bedroom House in Toward

** Please check the location to be sure there's not a ferry crossing between the cottage and the rest of your plans. The location is in Toward, near Dunoon, on the Cowal Peninsula. It sometimes shows as Isle of Bute in searches as it's so close, but it is across the water! **
Bihar is an exeptionally bright cottage set in mature gardens running down to its own pink rocky beach on the Firth of Clyde.
It's impossible not to relax with the ever changing stunning view of the tidal waters, the passing Bute ferries, military ships, submarines and summer cruise ships. Many hours can be passed watching the magically calming view.
Entered via the long gravel drive with easy parking for multiple vehicles, Bihar is a charming cottage of maybe 100 years, operating as a holiday cottage for most of these years.
The entrance hall leads on to a ground floor twin bedroom and small double bedroom, both with views across the water, served by the ground floor family bathroom.
There is a large open plan living and dining room with windows to 3 sides and magnificent views across the water to Wemyss bay. In addition to the central heating, there is a wonderful log burner that can really belt out the heat on a winter evening spent slouching on the huge tartan sofa, or playing the tuned Yamaha U1 piano.
The well equipped kitchen includes a dishwasher, electric hob, electric fan oven and fridge freezer.
A small laundry room off the kitchen offers a further sink, plus washing machine and tumble drier.
Upstairs is a large bedroom with the best views in the house, a king sized bed and a small en suite shower and WC. There would be plenty of room for a couple of camp beds or similar in this room. Just ask and we can arrange.
Being further down the peninsula from Dunoon, Toward is on flatter ground and on a sunny day (it's often sunnier than the forecast!) offers sunshine all day long and into the evening. The midgies are less fond of Toward too as there are fewer trees and a slight breeze keeps them more under control than in many parts of the West coast.
Despite it's remote location, Bihar can be reached by public transport with the 489 bus meeting the Dunoon CalMac passenger ferry (see West Coast Motors Timetable) many times per day. The bus will stop where you ask the driver to, so you can get door to door service.
The water side garden has two hanging egg chairs to while away the hours, plus several ordinary chairs a couple of recliners and 2 tables. There is also a chiminea and coal BBQ.
There's no shop, pub, supermarket, nightclub or helipad in Toward itself, but 2 miles up the road in Innellan are 2 good pub/restaurants and a Post Office shop. Another 5 miles further up the road to Dunoon where there are pubs, restaurants, supermarkets and a cute cinema.
It's a great place to relax.

Summary: The accommodation was very spacious, clean, and ideal for a family with a dog. The garden was large and very suitable for children and pets, and ideal for outside activity - play, relaxing and eating. The location was perfect, with beautiful views, close to safe walks, and exploring the shore, as well as being just a 15 minute drive from the town of Dunoon with supermarket, cafes, restaurants, and shops.

Summary: We had a wonderful stay in Toward. The location of the cottage is idyllic, and it was sometimes hard to do anything other than watch the water and the birds and ships passing by. But walking around the shoreline and exploring Dunoon were worth the effort and we found good local places to eateffort.atshoreline arouheadland

Summary: This place is for people who love peace and quiet and privacy, we do. Noise from the road is almost minimal, perhaps if you sit in the front garden but we spent all time in the back garden watching sunrises, ships passing by, listening to bird songs early morning, fishing from the private beach. Location worked well for us, we used our car to get around, nearest supermarket is in Dunoon about 15 minutes drive away. The property is well maintained, decorated, comfortably furnished, heating, WiFi works perfectly, kitchen is fully equipped, l couldn’t find fault. The en-suite master bedroom upstairs is amazing with stunning view to The Clyde. Having two bathrooms is very convenient, although it was just two of us, house would be suitable for two couples as well. Outdoor space and private beach area is awesome. We drove up to Oban, Loch Lomond, Callander, I wish we could’ve stayed longer. Communication with Patrick was great, also check in/check out info. Thank you for having us.

Summary: We absolutely loved our stay at Bihar! The house is wonderful (so many high quality amenities) and the view even better. The weather was quite bad, so the house was a bit cold, but fine with a bit of heating turned on. Nevertheless, we took a couple of dips in the water. We saw seals and submarines, unfortunately no dolphins or porpoises.

Summary: Beautiful part of the country. Amazing views over Firth of Clyde and beyond the Holy Loch with the Kyles of Bute in the opposite direction. Fantastic spacious cottage with everything you could need and stunning views from the lounge and upstairs master bedroom. The cottage has a lovely feel to it with large gardens front and back with access to the pebble shoreline. Just love the area around Dunoon. Patrick is also a great host.
