Noddsdale Update – Covid-19

10th April 2020

Our properties are closed due to the Coronavirus pandemic at present. Once restrictions are lifted the Bell Loft will be available immediately, but The Granary, formerly The East Wing, and Willow Cottage are mid projects so they will take a little while to put right.

The Granary has had some more sockets put in with USB ports in each room which we thought might be quite useful with everyone’s mobile devices needing to be re-charged on a regular basis. This in turn has led to the need for redecoration and there is a bathroom panel breakage issue which is to be resolved through insurance….! However, we hope to be able to get all this sorted out relatively quickly once the work can begin again.

Willow Cottage is undergoing a bathroom makeover downstairs. We have removed an internal wall which was no longer required which made more room for us to improve the facilities. We now have a walk-in shower, plus the bath, basin and wc. We were almost finished when we went into lockdown, so as long as all the work can be done as soon as restrictions are lifted we will be finished in a matter of days after that.

Life at Noddsdale continues, albeit quieter than usual, with all the maintenance of the properties and the gardens most of which we can do ourselves. Never fear, we will be as ready as we can be when the time comes to reopen and will look forward to welcoming our guests once again.

What our guests say

Our family visited Scotland for the first time this September and we were recommended to stay at Noddsdale. As there were 5 of us we stayed in Bell Loft which had a lovely homey ambiance with the welcoming homemade shortbread and flowers. Loved sitting around the fireplace and relaxing.

Beautiful rooms, décor and grounds of the estate which we hiked up in the morning to see beautiful views of Largs. Great base for exploring the area.

Amazing stay in Bell Loft

After a tumultuous few months working in the NHS and our long planned for holiday cancelled, we found Willow cottage online and contacted Jane, the owner. The cottage is in a lovely setting with a gorgeous garden to enjoy the sun when it shines! Willow cottage is in a great location for exploring lots of nearby sights. The owners, Jane and Chris have thought of everything in terms of making this a home from home and the cleanliness and condition of the cottage were excellent. There were some lovely touches like flowers, milk and homemade shortbread when we arrived. Chris and Jane responded readily to any issues we had and went over and above to resolve them. The weather wasn’t always kind to us but they were! I would have no hesitation in recommending this place.

Just wonderful

What a wonderful stay we had at Noddsdale Estate! Every aspect of our experience could not be bettered - from the friendliness and welcome of our hosts to the accommodation and its location. Even the weather worked in our favour, affording us a cosy day in by a log fire because of rough weather after we had enjoyed days of hill walking in sunshine. The fire was already laid for us in readiness! Thank you.

Lovely location for the loosening of the lockdown leash
