What our guests had to say…

Second Stay - Bell Loft

This was our second stay at Noddsdale, but our first stay in the Bell Loft. Like the Granary, the Bell Loft is spacious and very well-equipped for our family of three. Highlights are 2 bathrooms in the Bell Loft, but a superb view of Great Cumbrae from the Granary. Mrs Evans is delightful to deal with: always very friendly and thoughtful.

Just wonderful - Willow Cottage

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 the Ticket - Bell Loft

Exactly the right place to stay when visiting relatives. Comfortable, cosy ( it was a bit chilly in Largs that week), a well stocked kitchen, a fireplace, a plethora of towels, fresh flowers, umbrellas, AND biscuits! What’s not to like? The view was stupendous and the grounds very pretty. We didn’t try the tennis court but it was there. We did use the Scrabble board with our grandson. We also made good use of the coffee machine and the radio was already tuned to Radio 4. We had a great stay.

July 2023 - Bell Loft

What an excellent place to stay. Our host Jane was friendly and welcoming. Not only does the accommodation have everything you may need, it is also of a really high quality.

 
October 2022 - Willow Cottage

This delightful, beautifully-equipped cottage is in a lovely setting in the Noddsdale Valley, yet is but a few minutes drive from the centre of Largs. We were met by our charming host, Jane Evans, who drove down to give us the keys and to show us around the cottage. She was both helpful and friendly. We were made very welcome.
It would have been very nice to have been able to stay longer!

 
Amazing stay in Bell Loft - Bell Loft

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.

 
Superb - Willow Cottage

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.

 
An outstanding property - The Granary

The apartment is relatively large, light and furnished to a high quality. There is ample space to store clothes and food. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped, and it is clear that a lot of thought has gone into what guests might actually need. The views from the living room are lovely. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. There are good walks nearby and it is an excellent base for exploring the region especially as as the Isles of Arran and Bute are near.

 
Lovely location for the loosening of the lockdown leash - The Granary

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.

A Perfect Place to Stay

We recently spent 10 days at the Bell Loft & would happily have stayed longer. The accommodation is very clean & well presented. Tastefully decorated & furnished, with comfy beds, lovely bedlinen & quality duvets, towels, crockery etc. The kitchen is fab & has everything you could possibly need including a Nespresso! Tea, coffee & other basics like salt, olive oil, as well as a vase of flowers & home made biscuits to greet us. Everything worked, we felt comfortable, relaxed & safe, it's a perfect retreat, whilst only 5 minutes by car or taxi into Largs. We had great weather & loved walking from the door, up through the grounds to enjoy the wonderful views & tranquil setting. Jane & her family made us feel very welcome & we hope to return.
