Situation
Davaar is situated in the ribbon coastal hamlet of Toward, on the Cowal
Peninsula in the west coast of Scotland. Toward Lighthouse is the prominent
and well known local landmark of the district and Davaar is about half a mile
to the west of the light house.
The bustling west coast town of Dunoon is about 6. 3 miles to the north. Dunoon
is the main town of the Cowal Peninsula and has a complete range of shopping,
leisure and professional services. The town has a good range of welcoming pubs
and restaurants, a theatre, cinema, swimming pool and leisure centre.
The area is well served by reputable primary and secondary schooling including
Toward, St Muns, and Strone Primary Schools and Dunoon Grammar School.
At Dunoon there are both the Caledonian MacBrayne and Western Ferries
terminals from where there are frequent passenger and vehicular sailings
across to Gourock. From here, the road and public transport links make it
possible to commute on a daily basis to Glasgow and the central belt. Holiday
makers to Cowal experience the feeling of apparent mainland detachment created
by the pleasant short ferry crossing.
It is also possible to drive to Glasgow via Loch Lomond which takes a little
longer but is via some of the most famous and breathtaking countryside in
western Scotland.
Dunoon is the gateway to the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park and it
has some of the most dramatic and picturesque scenery in the west of Scotland.
As with most parts of Scotland one is never too far from a golf course and
Dunoon is no exception the district having three challenging courses.
The expanding Holy Loch Marina is nearby with its berthing and associated
chandlery services, an excellent base from which to sail and explore the
world - famous lower Clyde and Kyles of Bute inland sea lochs and waterways.
Sea fishing is available on the Firth of Clyde, and it is possible to fish for
salmon and sea trout by permit on some of the rivers and lochs of the
district.
Some of the local estates can, by arrangement, offer rough and commercial
shooting as well as opportunities to stalk for roe, sika and red deer.
The area is renowned for its spectacular scenery and wildlife, there are near
endless walks, hill climbs and quiet country roads offering wonderful rambling
and cycling country.
Subject to Crown Estate approval, there is the possibility of a mooring
directly in front of the house.
