Situation
Inveruel has an outstanding quiet coastal situation within a national scenic area on the edge of the Cowal Peninsula on the very edge of Loch Riddon.

The house enjoys a raised vantage point, just off the old single track with passing places coastal road just to the north west of Colintraive and the highly scenic narrows of the famous Kyles of Bute.

From its raised setting there are spectacular uninterrupted western water views from the property over Loch Riddon which is a deep sheltered sea loch anchorage surrounded by steep sided mountains and glens.

The area is famous for its natural scenic beauty. The narrows of the Kyles of Bute provide a scenic boating route through from the Clyde estuary to Colintraive, Tighnabruaich, Portavadie and the fishing village of Tarbert at Loch Fyne. From Ardrishaig near the head of Loch Fyne, it is then on through the Crinan Canal to the Western Isles.

Colintraive (3 miles south) has a hotel with a friendly bar and an enviable reputation for gastro pub and restaurant cuisine, a shop, post office, heritage centre, community garden and centre with an all-weather bowling green. There is a small church in the village and the community is very active, supportive and welcoming. From Colintraive there is a short and regular (every 30 minutes) Calmac ferry crossing to the neighbouring Island of Bute which takes 5 minutes journey time. The main town on Bute is Rothesay where there are local shops, a supermarket and a further ferry to the Clyde coast. On the island there is a long sandy bay with a beach café which is excellent for bathing and dog walking. The other main centre in the area is Dunoon which provides further shops, supermarket and services, in addition to two competing ferry services across the Clyde. Excellent local medical services are delivered from Tighnabruaich.

There is a local primary school at Glendaruel and secondary schooling is available at Dunoon Grammar, which has an excellent reputation. A school bus runs from Colintraive to Dunoon Grammar in the morning and afternoon to transport students to and from school. It is possible for some of the students to board at the school.

The area offers much in the way of relaxing outdoor pursuits including yachting and boating, golf, fishing, hill walking and country walks in an area rich in history. The Cowal Way stretches from Portavadie on Loch Fyne and travels for some 31 miles to Arrochar through some of the most dramatic and picturesque sea and landscapes on the west coast.

A scenic 9-hole golf course is at Kames, with further courses on the Island of Bute and at Dunoon. Sea, river and loch fishing are also available in the area as are a number of shoots run either commercially or by syndicates. Some of the local estates allow stalking by arrangement. Superb birdwatching can be enjoyed from the comfort of the house as many bird species migrate through the small estuary in front of the property.

Local bus services run to Tighnabruaich, Rothesay and Dunoon.

The Braehead retail village to the west of Glasgow is only 47 miles (including a short ferry crossing over the Clyde) and has Marks & Spencer, Sainsbury’s, a range of High Street multiples, plus an IKEA superstore. Marks & Spencer, Tesco and Morrisons each have large outlets in Greenock, circa 10 minutes (in normal driving conditions) from the Gourock ferry terminal.

The city of Glasgow is 52 miles by ferry and provides extensive retail, commercial, cultural, higher educational and leisure services.
