    Waterfront Cottage with own Beach and Stunning Views Across The Clyde

    ** 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 many 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 and an outdoor bed for when sitting gets to be just too much effort. There is also a large BBQ and an outdoor table and chairs.

    There's no shop, pub, supermarket, nightclub or helipad in Toward, but up the road in Innellan is a good pub/restaurant and a Post Office shop. A bit further up the road to Dunoon and there are pubs, restaurants, supermarkets and a cute cinema.

    It's a great place to relax.

    Watching the Clyde
    This visit was all about returning to a well loved area. The cottage was the perfect spot, with good sized comfortable rooms which let in the beautiful outdoors and lots of light. A well stocked kitchen made food preparation easy. Most importantly, the Clyde was there in all its glory.

    Lovely clean cottage
    The cottage was spotless and well equipped with binoculars, piano, kitchen equipment to bake, roast and barbecue. Good for disabled as ground floor bedroom and toilet facility. We had a great break, with our daughter and dogs, enjoying walks locally.

    Family getaway 😁
    The accommodation and location was brilliant for us as we love the outdoors. It was my daughter’s 19th birthday and she wanted to get away with friend and family before going traveling. My eldest daughter came with her boyfriend who are both in their final year of Uni doing Ocean science and Marine Conservation, they spent hours at the bottom of the garden in the rock pools and surprised how much they found. We all went squad biking on her birthday which is highly recommended. There are some fantastic walks, lakes for paddle boarding and pubs with really friendly locals. Then back to lovely accommodation with a log fire, really relaxing atmosphere and very well equipped. We would highly recommend and we hope to be back very soon x

    Toward stay at Bihar
    Toward was a quiet holiday but i was aware of this prior to booking and it was just what i needed. We did have to call the host when we arrived as the TV was not working and he came to the house the next morning, early, to mend the issue. Excellent attention. The house could do with a booklet, explaining heating, TV controls and hob wirking instructions. It may also be useful for a light at the back door, as i could not see my dog when he went out.

    5 star property within all the elements
    Bihar cottage is absolutley fantastic, well equipped kitchen, cosy living area with log fire, surround sound and a tuned piano which we adored playing. The beds are SUPER comfortable. The most special aspect is the back door which opens up to a large garden leading down to the sea. if you like a cold swim this is perfect for you. The sun rises behind the mountains in the distance. Very relaxing holiday. Would highly recommend.
