Waterfront Cottage With Own Beach And Stunning Views Across The Clyde

Toward, Argyll

Bihar is a charming holiday cottage located in Toward, near Dunoon on the Cowal Peninsula in Scotland, accommodating up to six guests across three bedrooms. This bright cottage is set within mature gardens that extend down to a picturesque pink rocky beach on the Firth of Clyde. The stunning views of the tidal waters, passing ferries, military ships, and summer cruise ships create a serene atmosphere perfect for relaxation. Visitors should verify the location to ensure there are no ferry crossings that might affect their travel plans, as the cottage is sometimes mistakenly identified as being on the Isle of Bute due to its proximity.

The cottage, which has been operating as a holiday rental for many years, features a long gravel drive with ample parking. Inside, guests will find a welcoming entrance hall leading to a ground floor twin bedroom and a small double bedroom, both offering beautiful water views. These rooms share a family bathroom. The spacious open-plan living and dining area boasts windows on three sides, providing magnificent vistas over the water towards Wemyss Bay. A cozy log burner enhances the warmth of the space during colder evenings, while a well-equipped kitchen and a small laundry room add to the convenience of the cottage.

Upstairs, the master bedroom features a king-sized bed, an en suite shower, and the best views in the house. There is also the possibility of accommodating additional guests with camp beds upon request. The location of Toward benefits from flatter terrain and often enjoys more sunshine than forecasted, making it an ideal spot for outdoor enjoyment. The area is also less prone to midges, thanks to its breezy conditions, enhancing the overall comfort for guests during their stay.

While Toward itself lacks shops and nightlife, nearby Innellan offers a pub and a Post Office shop, and Dunoon provides a wider range of amenities, including restaurants, supermarkets, and a cinema. Guests can explore local attractions such as Castle Toward Residential School and Benmore Botanic Garden, or engage in outdoor activities like kayaking, windsurfing, horse riding, and hunting. Bihar serves as an excellent retreat for those seeking a peaceful getaway while still being accessible via public transport, with the 489 bus connecting to the Dunoon CalMac passenger ferry multiple times daily.
