Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

This individually charming 19th century cottage is full of character and is situated on the beautiful West coast of Scotland. "Taynuilt Cottage" is in a truly idyllic location and has 3 bedrooms, dining-kitchen, two sitting rooms and large front garden. It is next door to the renowned "Toward Lighthouse" which was built in 1812 by Robert Louis Stevensons grandfather. Toward is a very peaceful and friendly area with wonderful scenery. There is a large garden from where you can watch all the boats sailing by.
It is a perfect spot for walking and exploring the surrounding area where there are many attractions, castles and sports. See www.visitcowal.co.uk

The main town of Dunoon is only 10 minutes away by car, though there is a regular bus service. In Dunoon, you will find plenty of
shops and restaurants.
Please note there is not any WiFi in the cottage.
I also make pictures from the sea glass I collect from our west coast beaches.

Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

Toward is an ideal base to explore the unspoilt Argyll and Bute with many pretty villages and remote beaches. There are plenty of castles, historic houses and gardens
to admire. Also, a superb range of outdoor pursuits to enjoy including golf, fishing, sailing, cycling and many lovely walks with outstanding scenery. Only one hours drive to Glasgow,one hour to Loch Lomond and one and a half hours to Edinburgh. The next village is two miles away with a shop, pub and restaurant. Dunoon is 10 mins drive.
Please note:
We have had a couple of exchangers who have been very disappointed with their weather while staying at our cottage. Please be aware that the weather is very unpredictable in the West of Scotland, but theres absolutely no reason why you wouldn`t have two weeks of sunshire - just don`t expect it and then you get a nice surprise if it happens!
Scotland needs the rain for its beauty , however, the scenery still looks good in all weathers.

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules

We would consider all offers, but would prefer this year to visit places in Europe including the area around Lille, in France. As this is our holiday house we don`t necessarily have to exchange at the same time.
