"Everything was perfect."
On our arrival John was there to greet us and show us around. There was milk and tea coffee and a few other basic provisions. The view from the balcony was spectacular. Bethanys retreat was a great base to explore the area .I am sure we will be back

"Great place everything you need."
Owner thought of everything very pleasant site, quiet (we were there out of season) lovely spot for exploring Largs and surrounding areas. Plenty of walks and plenty of time to relax. Would definitely recommend plenty of space and cooking facilities if you want to cook yourself or local takeaway places nearby. Definitely will be going back.

"The lodge was really value for money, right on the edge of the Parkedean holiday resort so we were untroubled by other visitors and had great views of the sea."
The property was light and airy with good decor and plenty of utensils and gadgets in the well stocked kitchen, It was also very close to the shops and the butchers sold great pies and had lovely cafe - we went on the recommendation of the owner and were not disappointed.
Thank you Liz for a brilliant review we are both glad you enjoyed your stay on our lodge and you also enjoyed the pies
