Testimonials

Beautiful location with gardens and land to explore. The house was quirky but very comfortable. Spotlessly clean and generously supplied with towels and kitchen equipment.

Great location, open fire and stunning views. Friendly and uncomplicated hosts - overall a successful work stay.

We loved the views, peacefulness and the walks easily accessible from the house. Very well equipped house and most comfy beds. It was a great stop. A warm and friendly welcome. We shall be back.

This is a delightful,well equipped cottage in a glorious setting where everything has been carefully thought of to make your stay memorable. From fresh flowers and shortbread to dog bowls and throws we were unable to think of anything more needed. The garden is dog secure and there are stunning walks on the doorstep as well as the accessibility of the Isles of Cumbrae,Arran and Bute. Jane and Chris are the perfect hosts. We can't wait to return.

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.

We came back. What better recommendation could there be?! A great base for visiting local islands, gardens, historic houses, etc. Stay and cook at home or visit one of the plentiful eating places. Good internet connection if you want that. All the major supermarkets will deliver there. And a log fire too!

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Willow Cottage. This was our first holiday with our five month-old baby, and we hugely appreciated the various appliances in the house (v. modern washing machine, tumble dryer, etc) and the extra effort Jane went to (setting up a cot for us) that helped keep things as easy and relaxing as possible. It was great to explore the various local walks and to make the most from the close proximity to Largs (fantastic 'carry oots' from Tinto tapas bar and Fish Works on the sea front). Have no doubt we'll be back.

This is a lovely flat inside a beautiful house in very extensive grounds. Rooms had antique furnishing and fittings with some modern/practical adaptation. The kitchen was beautifully equipped. Every effort was made by the owners to make us welcome and comfy. We greatly enjoyed the character of house, walking in the grounds and relaxing by the log fire.

There wasn't anything that we didn't like. The house was very much as portrayed and described on the website. It would be lovely to visit when there wasn't a new variant circulating !

Location incredible. Communication perfect. Beds exceptional. Warm and cosy. Perfect stay for us, thank you.
