  • "Great place, close to town and beach."

    Everything we needed was there. Perhaps consider an air fryer? Free ferry tickets was nice though not much to see on Cumbrae out of season. Museum and smallest UK cathedral. Great fish and chips at The Fish Works. Lots of eateries around town. Places to visit nearby. Train to Glasgow only takes an hour. Would recommend and would stay here again.

    It was perfect in every way. We've stayed in lots of Holiday rentals and the attention to needs and comfort far exceeds all others. If only there was a MACS Place everywhere we want to visit!! Thanks Margot and Alex.

    Excellent communication and response from the owner. Great walks in all directions and easy access to public transport to travel up and down the coast or to the islands on the ferries. Would highly recommend Millport, Kelburn Castle and Wemyss Bay station (both for its architecture and book shop). Sunsets throughout the week were wonderful!

    Other than than very minor adverse (and admittedly flippant) comment, the flat was immaculate; we would go back in a minute. The information provided by the owners was first class and the two free return tickets for the Cumbrae ferry was a much appreciated gesture.

  • "Flat was lovely and its location would be hard to beat."

    Single beds were a bit narrow, but apart from that everything was superb ! Largs is a beautiful seaside resort on the Firth of Clyde and perfect for island hopping on the scheduled ferries (from Largs, Ardrossan and Wemyss Bay) including the SS Waverly which calls at Largs in the summer season on its way to the Isle of Bute, the Cowl Peninsula, the Mull of Kintyre and Arran. Largs is technically in the Highlands because mountains can be found on both sides of the Firth of Clyde. The Brisbane Glen road to Greenock is well worth a visit. There are outstanding views of the Firth of Clyde from the communication towers above Loch Thom in the Muirsheil Hills. The best restaurant in Largs is in the Haylie Hotel (two minutes drive south on the road to Fairlie). The dining room and lounge have fabulous views over the Firth of Clyde and the Arran Mountains. The food is superb !

    It has everything you could want and need when staying away from home. We stayed with two young children and would recommend it for young families. There’s just no bath so we had to sit our baby in the bottom of the shower ( she loved it so that is not a complaint) so would say bring something to bath a baby in. A high chair and cot were provided, also little thinks like rolls and milk which was a life saver after a long journey. It’s in a fantastic location, a stones throw away from the sea front. Has a great local park and green space to play with a ball. Local trips to Kelburn Castle great for children and over to Millport on the ferry ( tickets included because we stayed for 7 days) to the beach and bike riding. Would Highly recommend and would definitely stay again.

About the location

LARGS

Glasgow 33 miles; Ayr 33 miles.

Located on the Firth of Clyde, the town of Largs is a traditional Scottish seaside resort, with a Victorian promenade situated just over 30 miles from Glasgow. Largs offers a variety of shops, including some chain and some independent stores, plus there are several pubs and restaurants. Visit Vikingar, a family Viking experience or enjoy the amusement arcades on the promenade whilst indulging in an ice-cream. Photographers amongst you can capture the wonderful views across the Firth of Clyde to the Isle of Cumbrae located just a mile offshore, or perhaps take the short ferry trip across to explore this most accessible Scottish island. In summer months you can enjoy a cruise on the Waverley Paddle Steamer. The Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park offers walking and cycling for everyone, as well as a range of wildlife to spot. Visit Kelburn Castle with its 13th century castle adorned with graffiti from a group of Brazilian artists, or meander around the scenic grounds. A day trip to Glasgow is also worth a visit just being over thirty miles away with its vast array of shops and cultural experiences. With sailing and golf on the doorstep too, Largs really does have something for everyone.
