The all weather tennis court in the garden at Noddsdale is available most of the time – bring your own racquets and balls if possible. Hire bicycles and pedal 11 miles around the Isle of Cumbrae, or go over the top if feeling energetic!

Try your hand at Off Road Driving. Or Indoor Dry Ski at Snow Factor, Braehead near Glasgow airport. RSPB Lochwinnoch Nature Reserve is only 20 minutes away from Noddsdale House by car.

Water Activities

Cumbrae Voyages Adventure run RIBs to see local wildlife at sea and the National Watersports Centre on Cumbrae run various courses for sailors and windsurfers. The Clyde is also a popular Diving spot. Swim indoors at the Vikingar, Largs or outdoors at the heated salt water filled pool in Gourock (May to September!)

What our guests say

A comfortable flat, clean, spacious and tastefully furnished. It has a pleasant feel to it; we would happily have made it our home.

Comfortable and tasteful home

A lovely stay at this cottage. Despite the midgey infestation that seemed to plague Largs, and the cottage, we had a good time. It was home from home.

Welcome Home

We stayed for a week in Bell Loft on the Noddsdale Estate just a few mins outside of Largs. The accommodation was first class - warm, comfortable, high standard and so thoughtfully presented.

The Noddsdale Estate is just 5 mins drive from the centre of Largs with its ferry to Cumbrae and proximity to Arran, Bute and Glasgow. Lovely walks from the estate and two superb golf courses within a short drive.The owners could not have been more helpful and we even had access to their private tennis court. We highly recommend Bell Loft and as a family who had not been to Scotland before we had a wonderful time and hope to return.
