We stayed there for work, and found Willow Cottage to be perfect for our purposes. Really well equipped and very comfortable.

Willow cottage met all our expectations, extremely comfortable with all amenities, beautiful views of the garden with access to enjoy the tranquil surroundings. An excellent retreat, within the vicinity of Largs ,with access to island hop to Millport.
Jane ( the owner) was very helpful & our stay was thoroughly enjoyable & we will return to create many more memories.

Our fourth visit to Noddsdale and third to Willow Cottage. This more or less says everything you need to know about the accommodation there. Wonderful quiet location and excellent facilities. We will not hesitate to return a fifth time should the opportunity arise.

A truly wonderful place to stay.
Willow Cottage is maintained to a high standard and offers every comfort and convenience. It is very well equipped and each room has its own special character. Outside there is ample room for parking and a beautiful garden overlooking stunning scenery.
There is plenty of countryside to explore on the doorstep. The bustling nearby town of Largs is very pleasant and friendly, and the Isle of Cumbrae is a short ferry ride away. We found it to be an ideal location for exploring the wider region with visits to Ayr and Loch Lomond. Taking the train into Glasgow was easy to do and is just an hour away.
Thank you so much for making Willow Cottage a home form home.

We often stay in this area to visit elderly parents. We’ve stayed at Noddsdale estate a few times and Jane is a marvellous host. This is the first time staying at Willow Cottage and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Clean and tidy, very modern with good facilities, light bright and airy. We had already pre-booked a week this summer as well and so glad we did, can’t wait to enjoy the lovely garden - weather permitting! Although we know the area well it’s always nice to walk along Largs seafront and take the coastal drive to Gourock. You can also get a train from Largs to Glasgow always good for a day out.

The cottage was lovely, the best-equipped one we have stayed in so far.
Plenty of room for 2 cars to park, it's over 1.5 miles from the town so car transport is recommended.
Having a log fire available in the evening was a real bonus.
The information provided was comprehensive, although we struggled to understand the heating controls until Jane came round and showed us. We did the walk up to the reservoir which was very pleasant (and steep!) but did not get the opportunity to try out the tennis court (it was October!)
There was wifi in the cottage, but only a poor mobile signal.
The sloping roof in the upstairs bedroom caught one of us out on the first day, tall people beware!
An extra boot tray would have been good, as there were 4 of us and only room for 2 pairs of boots on the one there (but the mats were washable).

Absolutely delightful cottage. Perfect location. Quiet with only the sheep to listen to, yet only a few minutes drive to Largs town and the main road to other nearby towns, routes etc. Cottage fully equipped with everything you could possible need. I holidayed with my mother and her blind dog and there were even aids for both of them! We had an exceptionally long journey getting there (M6 traffic) but Jane was particularly accommodating and welcoming on arrival, putting herself out to personally greet us. Home made shortcake and milk on arrival was much appreciated! Enclosed garden is ideal for sitting in watching the world go by (weather permitting) looking at the beautiful surrounding scenery plus added bonus for anyone with a dog! Absolutely ideal neighbour too, met a couple of times and very pleasant but other than that, you wouldn’t of known anyone was there! We would definitely return and have no hesitation recommending Noddsdale estate. Thanks for everything.

Like a home away from home, Jane organised everything we needed, including lots of little bits and pieces for our young kids (cutlery, chairs, steps to reach sinks to brush teeth etc). The house was very warm for the full month despite it being middle of winter. Looking forward to coming back here during the summer months.

Easy communication with the owner. Cottage was immaculately clean and well equipped. Very warm and cozy. Bedrooms quite small and the eaves upstairs need a bit of care to get around. Lovely pictures. Dog very welcome with bowls and blankets. Excellent walks from the door and from nearby. Only thing I would change is the choice of books!

Our stay in Willow Cottage was everything we wanted a break away to be.
The living areas were spacious and had absolutely everything we needed and more. The beds and chairs were very comfortable. We loved the little sunroom at the back, a great place to sit and relax in the morning or evening... AND there is a porch by the kitchen with hooks and room for boots.
The coal fire was laid and we did use it on the one damp, dreary day we had enabling us to quite happily stay around.
Our grand daughter loved her little room, in fact her Mum and Day also stayed upstairs and with it's own shower room it was a perfect arrangement for a small family.
My husband and I had the downstairs bedroom and used the wet room. What an asset this is, really set up for those with limited mobility. So good to see.
Lovely enclosed garden which we made full use of as it was a hot week (once the rain cleared.
Sited a couple of miles outside Largs it was perfect for us; away from the crowds but close enough to the shops, sea and peace of the countryside. After 35 years of self catering this one is definately on my top 5 list to remember. Friendly, helpful hosts who were a pleasure to deal with. The Estate itself it lovely, peaceful, unspoilt but managed and we loved walking around it and up to the lovely views from the top.

Absolutely great cottage. All home comforts are there. Very clean and well decorated with quality furniture and items. Comfy beds, well equipped kitchen.
Jane was very welcoming before arriving and showed us around on arrival. Location is at the back of Largs, this gives you access to walking up the hills straight from the door with amazing views over the Clyde. Loved having the sheep in the field next door. Lovely enclosed garden too. Had a great holiday and will return.

Willow house is a well equipped, comfortable and warm holiday home. This was our second visit and despite there being a two year gap since we last stayed the interior furnishings and general appearance remain to a high standard. It's all the little touches that make the property stand out from the rest from the welcome fridge note, biscuits and fresh flowers to the ready laid fire, soap powder and various useful kitchen items. It's all ready to walk in and use which makes it head above other holiday rentals that can be rather basic in what they provide. At times its hard to drag oneself away from such a lovely property but they are plenty of nearby walks that reward you with amazing views down to Largs and across to the water to nearby islands. Willow is in a great location for visiting Glasgow and surrounding islands and it is always a joy to come back to.

Lovely cottage set in beautiful surroundings and yet not too far from the main town of Largs....the best of both worlds. The cottage has everything you need for that home from home stay and is very comfortable. Jane and Chris are lovely hosts and the short bread biscuits very welcoming upon our arrival. The added bonus was being able to play tennis too when the weather brightened up!

What a wonderful and charming cottage! This truly is a cozy retreat, nestled just enough outside of largs to feel tranquil and yet close enough to walk into the town. It had an instant homely feel. The quality of furnishings and facilities is very good. It had everything we needed and then some. Settling down on a winter night with the log fire burning, was simply bliss. My family could easily have stayed longer.
Jane was marvellous, making us feel welcome and ensuring we were comfortable throughout our stay. So nice to have such an accommodating and approachable lady, who went that extra mile. Highly recommend

We had a lovely week at Willow Cottage. Everything within the cottage is comfortable and high end. The fully equipped kitchen was excellent. In particular I would like to mention the beds as many rentals fall down in this area, the beds were extremely comfortable. Walking from the cottage up through the glen leads to some breathtaking views and the walk into Largs is only about two miles. Thanks to Chris and Jane for being so hospitable.

This is a delightful,well equipped cottage in a glorious setting where everything has been carefully thought of to make your stay memorable. From fresh flowers and shortbread to dog bowls and throws we were unable to think of anything more needed.
The garden is dog secure and there are stunning walks on the doorstep as well as the accessibility of the Isles of Cumbrae,Arran and Bute.
Jane and Chris are the perfect hosts. We can't wait to return.

Absolutely perfect cottage with everything needed to suit my mum’s disabilities. Jane couldn’t be more helpful in ensuring our stay was comfortable and relaxing. We particularly enjoyed the country views from the sun room in the evenings and were lucky enough to have gorgeous weather to enjoy the garden. An excellent selection of books and board games was a thoughtful touch. Although they didn’t stay , my young grandchildren visited for the day and I was delighted to find children’s crockery and cutlery with a cute little high chair so they could join us at the table ! Jane really has thought of everything and we will definitely look to re-book in the future.

Willow cottage is ideally situated for numerous walks and trips in and around Largs area. Just far enough out of town to make you feel you are right in the country. Tastefully decorated with little personal touches, small vases of wildflowers, home made shortbread. Very comfortable and welcoming. Jane has thought of everything. Kitchen particularly well equipped. Plenty of games and books should the weather not be favourable and sun loungers for those lazy days in the secluded garden. Hopefully we shall get opportunity to return. We had a wonderful family weekend. Thank you for your efforts Jane.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Willow Cottage. This was our first holiday with our five month-old baby, and we hugely appreciated the various appliances in the house (v. modern washing machine, tumble dryer, etc) and the extra effort Jane went to (setting up a cot for us) that helped keep things as easy and relaxing as possible. It was great to explore the various local walks and to make the most from the close proximity to Largs (fantastic 'carry oots' from Tinto tapas bar and Fish Works on the sea front). Have no doubt we'll be back.

We had ten great days in Willow Cottage. The property was clean, warm and comfortable. It is located just outside the town of Largs but feels remote. It was a busy ten days for us, meaning we had little time to enjoy the wonderful surroundings. We hope to return when we have more time.
Great customer service too!

A lovely stay at this cottage. Despite the midgey infestation that seemed to plague Largs, and the cottage, we had a good time. It was home from home.

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.

Willow Cottage and surrounding area was a welcome break away from home, especially after lockdown began to be lifted.
Jane and Chris are excellent hosts and catered for all our needs. The home is set up so as to not want form anything away from home, the house and setting had everything we needed, except good weather which is never a guarantee. A nice touch too was the home-baking on arrival, Jane even catered for the nut allergy in the family. They could not be any more attentive.
The house is set in lovely greenery and was great to have the Tennis Court and walks on tap in the surrounding area, with amazing views towards Cumbrae and Bute. A short walk or drive into Largs is so easy too. And its wonderful to come back to the house after a day exploring to the peace and quiet.
As a family of 5 adults, we had a terrific time.
Thank you.

Willow Cottage (Noddsdale) had everything needed for a carefree holiday/break in North Ayrshire. The cottage was equipped to the highest standard and just a couple of miles from Largs in an extremely picturesque location - ideal for exploring the coast and popping across to the islands. Wonderful.

Largs is a great location for a family holiday with loads to do in and around the town. It also provides easy access to the Clyde ferries sailing to the islands and Cowal Peninsula. We were warmly welcomed (including our dog) and even before our arrival we were emailed about how best access could be provided for an elderly relative and what kind of milk we prefer. The cottage provided everything we needed and more with clear and helpful instructions on how to use all appliances. The parking area and ramp to the door and layout downstairs made the house very accessible and the enclosed garden with furniture provided was great for sitting out. We highly recommend this cottage.

We were two couples (50s and 70s) and we were in Largs for some golf, sightseeing and relaxation. We chose Noddsdale because it looked modern, clean and inviting. It was all three and I would add very comfortable. Everything was high qaulity with the exception of the TV which is currently a bit small (an upgrade is being considered). I should add that some of our party found the beds a little too firm but for me they were just perfect.
There's not a huge amount to do in Largs but it can be used as a base. We visited Bute, Cumbrae, Ayr (very sad and tired) and Dumfries House. Plenty of golf within a 40 minute drive.
Comms were great from start to finish as was our welcome and we would all recommend Willow Cottage.

Willow cottage at Noddsdale is a real gem, and a particularly lovely place for families with young children. There are toys, games, and a child-friendly garden, and the cottage has lots of flexibility in terms of sleeping arrangements. The kitchen is very well-equipped with a perfect dining area, and the lounge is comfortable and cosy. There are walks from the doorstep, with The Knock being a highlight, and the grounds of Noddsdale are accessible as are the hills beyond. Jane and Chris have obviously made an effort to think about things so often forgotten in other self-catering properties, and we cannot recommend Willow Cottage enough!

One of the best self-catering cottages we have found in 50 years of travelling all over Europe.
Very peaceful setting with a lovely wrap-around garden and even deer in the adjacent field and yet only minutes from Largs prom and a short drive to Ardrossan or Wemyss Bay ferries for island hopping.
Willow Cottage is most attractively furnished with very comfy beds and great attention to detail in many thoughtful touches.
Chris and Jane were on hand and responded really quickly and efficiently when there was a hiccough with the heating at the start of our stay.
Highly recommended and seriously dog-friendly.

From our initial contact with Jane through to our departure every aspect of our stay was outstanding. The proprietors have thought of everything and there are so many lovely touches throughout.I simply cannot recommend Willow cottage more! Fabulous. Home made shortbread on arrival was amazing!
We came needing rest and relaxation but also requiring activities and things to do for our children aged 16, 11 and 4 and Willow cottage has it all. Beautiful walks, gorgeous scenery and Wifi!!
I am already booking my mother in for a stay in the summer as I know that she will also love it.
Thank you Jane and Chris you really went that extra mile for us.
Much love Katie, Neil and the boys.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay irrespective of the weather. Views from Windows lovely. Cottage modern, delightful kitchen diner, very well equipped, particularly the coffee machine with coffee pots provided, what a luxury. Lovely snug lounge with open log fire if desired, although we were warm enough without. Our hosts made us feel very welcome, what a delightful couple and very helpful with suggestions of where to walk and information on the cottage. We can honestly say that we finally relaxed for a week. An added bonus was that the cottage is dog friendly and throws were provided should ones furry friend decide to misbehave and decide the sofa is better than their dog bed.

This lovely property is of a very good standard, with comfortable beds large enough for a family to sleep in! Friendly and helpful hosts who are there if needed, who provide the little extras to make your stay special. Willow Cottage has the added bonus of being truly pet- friendly, having a beautiful closed in garden, where you can also sit and absorb the peaceful tranquillity while enjoying the lovely views. Lots of walks on your doorstep. Safe easy parking at the property. Very short drive to reach towns and facilities and places to eat. Certainly one of the better properties we have found, a good all-rounder.

We had a great holiday. The cottage was very comfortable and very well equipped, everything of a very high quality. There were a number of little "extras", which were very much appreciated - especially the home-made shortbread.
We enjoyed a game a tennis and the walks around the garden, up the hill behind the house and up Knock Hill opposite gave terrific views over the Clyde. Having an enclosed garden was great - we could let the dog out without having to worry.
The hosts were very friendly and helpful.
One of the best cottages we have ever stayed in.

We loved the decoration of the cottage, it was fresh, up to date, and very user friendly. We came with a wheelchair and a service dog. The accessibility of the cottage was good, with a ramp, and the service dog loved the garden. The rooms were spacious and easy to get around. The beds were extremely comfortable! The kitchen was well equipt. Largs was easy to get to for groceries and sightseeing. The garden was full of flowers and well kept, and we enjoyed the views of fields and occasional sheep.

This was our second visit to Noddsdale but the first to Willow Cottage. We have stayed in many cottages across the UK but this was by far the best appointed. The owners have furnished it with great thought and consideration and to a very high standard. We had our 1year old Grandson with us and he loved it. He was well catered for throughout and made great friends with the sheep outside. Would highly recommend a stay and we look forward to returning.
