cottages sleeping 1 to 4 people in Perthshire


Noddsdale is a very special place to stay in Ayrshire. It is a family run estate with a B listed country house. The East Wing is a spacious self-contained first floor flat, ideal for two, which was converted from farm buildings in the 1920s, to form a guest wing. It has evolved over the years and now makes a delightful and unique holiday cottage away from it all. The sitting room is most unusual with a pitched wooden ceiling and there is a tennis court in the garden. The Bell Loft, the former staff quarters of Noddsdale House, has been completely renovated to provide luxurious top quality 4 star accommodation for up to 5 people.

Surrounded by mature gardens and trees and with views over the Firth of Clyde to the islands of Cumbrae, Bute and Arran and yet only 5 minutes away from the bustling town of Largs, this is the best of both worlds. Walk up the hill behind the house for stunning views of the Clyde on the West Coast of Scotland. There are many golf courses in Ayrshire; two in Largs, one on Cumbrae, one at West Kilbride and the more famous ones at Troon and Turnberry to name but a few. Nearby attractions include Mount Stuart, home of the Marquis of Bute, Culzean Castle, to the south of Ayr, Brodick Castle on the island of Arran and a distillery. The Cathedral of the Isles, the smallest cathedral in Great Britain is in the town of Millport on Cumbrae and Glasgow is only 50 minutes away by car or train with its many museums, theatres and concert halls. At the south end of Largs, there is Kelburn Country Park and Castle, owned by The Earl of Glasgow and a busy marina, which boasts several shops and eating places.

There are a number of good restaurants in the area, so there is no need to travel too far. On the other hand if you like to explore we can recommend a drive to Loch Fyne and the famous Oyster Bar taking in Inverary Castle for a good day out, or take a day trip on the Paddle Steamer Waverley in the summer months. Ayrshire is a most attractive part of Scotland and makes an ideal base for exploring some of the West Coast.
