Property code: 87881

A spacious coastal property spanning five floors. The enclosed front garden is the perfect place to unwind with family and friends.

This superb period house, with a garden giving direct access to the beach in Dunoon, is the perfect choice for a gathering of family or friends wishing to spend time together. The spacious property sleeps 18 guests, and you can bring up to four canine companions to share the fun. There are beautiful sea views from most rooms and the enclosed front garden has a wonderful hot tub. Dunoon has excellent shops and a regular ferry service to Gourock.

The property contains eight bedrooms and two splendid living rooms, giving everyone ample space for socialising and for quiet moments. Original features such as the fine staircase, high ceilings and beautiful, ornate plaster ceiling rose and cornices in the main living rooms are a fascinating reminder of Dunoon’s Victorian heyday. The interior of the property is thoughtfully planned for different generations: a super-king-size bedroom with en-suite wet room on the ground floor has direct access to the kitchen and a small rear patio.

A vestibule and hall lead to the impressive living room, with comfortable seating, elegant lighting and inviting velvet chairs in the bay window. Here you can relax and enjoy glorious view across West Bay towards the Firth of Clyde or watch the Smart TV. The streamlined kitchen has all you need to cater for large numbers of hungry guests, and at the other end is an elegant dining table with seating.

Follow the period staircase to the first floor and two attractive en-suite bedrooms, a king-size and a double, both with lovely sea views. Like all the bedrooms, these are designed for comfort and relaxation, with soft carpeting, simple white bed linen and touches of blue. A handy utility room is also located on this floor.

The second floor houses the upstairs living room, with a glamorous chandelier and more gorgeous views. Curl up on comfortable seating, with the Smart TV and a wood burner-effect electric fire for cosy nights in. There are two further bedrooms: an en-suite king-size with an additional single bed and a double overlooking the sea.

A bathroom occupies the third floor and on the fourth is an office, plus two en-suite king-size bedrooms, one with a splendid wooden four-poster bed and view.

Continue up a steep, narrow staircase to the fifth floor, and an en-suite double bedroom with an amazing vista of sea and sky.

Outside is an enclosed rear patio with seating, accessed from the kitchen and ground-floor bedroom. To the front, cross the private parking area to reach the enclosed, lawned garden, featuring a decked area with private hot tub, seating areas, a BBQ and direct access to the beach. There is private parking for five cars.

  • 8 bedrooms – 1 ground floor super-king-size zip-and-link (which can be made up as twin beds on request), 1 king-size, 1 four-poster king-size, 3 doubles, and 2 king-size, both with additional single beds
  • 8 bathrooms – 1 en-suite wet room with shower and WC, 6 en-suite shower rooms with WCs, 1 bathroom with shower over the bath and WC
  • Kitchen - 2 electric ovens, 5 ring induction hob, dishwasher, American style fridge/freezer with water and ice dispensers, ground coffee machine, and microwave
  • Utility – washing machine and tumble dryer
  • Highchair and travel cot available
  • Smart TVs in both lounges, kitchen/diner, and all 8 bedrooms
  • Private hot tub
  • Enclosed front garden located adjacent to the property over the private car park with hot tub, ample seating areas, gas BBQ, and direct access onto the beach
  • Enclosed rear small patio with a seating area with direct access from the ground floor super-king-size bedroom and kitchen
  • Off-road private parking for 5 cars and car park with an electric car charging point 0.2 miles
  • Beach less than 200 metres, shops, pubs and restaurants 0.5 miles
  • Arrival: 16:00 onwards
  • Departure: before 10:00, unless otherwise stated in your arrival details
  • 4 dogs allowed. Dogs are charged at £20 each per full or part week
  • There is an Accidental Damage Deposit of £500 when booking at this property, however this may be waived for £70. We’ll provide more details about this when booking your holiday.

The unparalleled location overlooking West Bay on the Firth of Clyde means that guests at this property benefit from being able to head down to the beach right from their front garden. Or you could head further afield to Colintraive (21 miles) so you can jump on a ferry to the Isle of Bute. Dunoon is great for a day out and has everything you should need to entertain you on your break. There are plenty of shops, lots of places to eat and a swimming pool too.

Water's Edge is a lovely house in a beautiful location. It was very comfortable, well equipped, very nicely furnished and a real home from home for all 17 of us! Despite the cold weather we were always nice and warm. The owner and the caretaker were very helpful and we had a great time. Various nice places to eat nearby. We would certainly go back!
