** 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.

- "We stayed in Ash Lodge for a short break in July, with our little dog. The site is tucked away and although there are other lodges around, it's not like the bigger places where they can all feel on top of each other. The chalet was spotlessly clean, with a well equipped kitchen, good shower and very comfy bed. Nice private garden area and veranda which isn't overlooked...except by the wide variety of birds visiting the feeders! The road is nearby but not too busy and is well screened by trees - you don't hear any noise inside. The decor may be a little dated but it's perfectly comfortable and well situated for exploring the area. Two minute walk to the Whistlefield Inn, which has a lovely bar and great food. Booking was easy and arrival instructions clear. Overall, a little gem which offers great value."
