About this property
Cottage On Pier, Holy Loch Shore, Sea And Mountain Views, listed building 1830
Post Office House is an unusual 'B' listed building, offering comfortable accommodation with a 'wow' factor on the western boundary of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. Well positioned for enjoying the Park (walking, biking, forests,mountains, lochs), exploring Argyll (castles, beaches, islands, history) and days out to Glasgow (culture, shops, museums, food.
Perhaps you need a break from all this activity, put your feet up, with a good book, and relax in front of the wood burning stove. Enjoy the views of the Holy Loch, watch out for otters.
It's an open plan house, sleeps two in a double bed, plus the option of a third person in a folding single bed (bedding provided), to be set up where you wish. If you are two but don't share a bed, just ask for the single bed to be provided.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Mike McDonald
Mike and Dinah McDonald arrived in Cowal 50 years ago and decided it was heaven.
Mike was an Outdoor Education teacher, so if you want great suggestions for local walks, climbing, canoeing, biking, just ask.
Dinah managed accommodation in Glasgow, from city centre hotels to social housing. She now owns Bookpoint, Dunoon's bookshop, where you can browse amongst 11,000 books, enjoy coffee and home baking, and choose from a wide selection of Scottish gifts.

Why they chose this property
We just love the variety and contrasts; only an hour away to the cosmopolitan european city of Glasgow, fine dining, art galleries, stunning museums, yet step off the ferry in Dunoon and you enter such a different world, a National Park of forests, mountains, coast, rivers, lochs, deer in the garden and eagles overhead.
We had always been attracted by Post Office House when it was the village store and Post Office, a curious historic building in a fantastic location, so we didn't hesitate when it was for sale, needing a major rebuild. We learnt new skills: scottish slating, stonemasonry, lime mortar, woodworking with oak, and stained glass to name just a few.
It was finished in 2013 and well worth the wait, we love the end result.

What makes this property unique
Despite the apparently small exterior, the open plan layout makes it surprisingly spacious for 2-3 visitors. It has been rebuilt to a very high standard, with period furniture,
quirky woodwork, ever-changing views, original artwork, and a cosy stove.
