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 can be seen from Davaar.

The bustling west coast town of Dunoon is about 6 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 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.

Dunoon is served by both Caledonian MacBrayne and Western Ferries, which operate frequent passenger and vehicle sailings across the Firth of Clyde to Gourock. From Gourock, convenient road and public transport connections provide access to Glasgow and the wider Central Belt, making daily commuting a practical option. For visitors to Cowal, the short and pleasant ferry crossing offers a sense of escape from the mainland, creating the feeling of being somewhere distinct and removed from everyday life.

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.
