Situation
Kilbride Farmhouse is situated in the established West Bay area of the main Cowal peninsula town of Dunoon.

Kilbride Road itself is close to (about 0.1 miles) the bustling retail and shopping district of the main town of Dunoon and is a pleasant short mainly level walk of about 10 – 15 minutes from the house.

Dunoon is the main town of the Cowal Peninsula and has a full range of shopping, leisure and professional services. The town has a good range of friendly and welcoming pubs and restaurants, a theatre, cinema, swimming pool and leisure centre.

Located on the scenic Cowal Peninsula in Argyll, Kilbride Farmhouse is only a short drive from both the Caledonian MacBrayne and Western Ferry 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 daily to Glasgow and the central belt.

It is equally 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 can easily be described as having some of the most dramatic and picturesque scenery in the west of Scotland, it is indeed an outdoor enthusiast’s playground.

The area is renowned for its spectacular scenery and there are near endless walks, hill climbs and quiet country roads offering wonderful rambling and cycling country. The Bishops Glen Walk is close by and allows for a pleasant walk around the local beauty spot of the Bishops reservoir. For children, the West Bay play park is a few hundred yards away on the coastal promenade.

As with most parts of Scotland, one is never too far from a golf course and Dunoon is no exception - Cowal Golf Course being the closest at only 2 miles away from Mars Hill.

The expanding Holy Loch Marina is nearby with its berthing and associated chandlery services, an excellent base from which to sail and explore the lower Clyde and the world-famous Kyles of Bute with its inland sea lochs and scenic waterways.
