About the host

Hosted by Mike McDonald

Host profile image
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.
