"This was a clean comfortable apartment but by far the best features were the fabulous location and views from kitchen and lounge."
A short walk to the waterfront promenade, shops, train station, Cumbrae ferry and buses, so easy access to everywhere along the Clyde coast and into Glasgow. The apartment itself was well equipped with comfy beds, good towels, plenty of hot water and good cooking equipment and crockery. Externally not the most attractive apartment block in Largs but parking right outside and we enjoyed our week here. Highly recommended.

"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.

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!

In Largs we would recommend Scotts restaurant and Oscars at Brisbane House, fish and chips at The Fishworks and of course, an ice cream sundae at Nardinis.

We were a little concerned as family of four that storage etc might be a problem but the hallway and cupboards were more than ample, and the massive built in wardrobes were excellent (our son enjoyed hiding in them they were so big!) Although there is no outside space it is a stones throw from the prom and the sea so it really didn't matter and great local facilities including supermarket within walking distance.

"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 !

"This was a beautiful apartment, very well presented, clean and spacious."
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.
