The East Wing was the former guest wing of Noddsdale House and now is a delightful and very characterful holiday home for up to 4 people.

Peaceful and delightful and good value

Our third visit and not the last. The focus estate is lovely Arts and Crafts influenced house that wears its history well - the East Wing had lovely ceiling and character furniture and views down to Largs and over to Cumbrea - once we had unpacked we sat down in the sitt room and experienced a genuine moment of peace and relaxation. Rare. All the facilities and equipment one might need, an emphasis on recycling and splendid but unobtrusive hosts. Loads of stuff to do - not least a ferry to Rothesay and Mount Stuart - a spectacular way to spend money made from hewing coal. Glasgow is a train ride away and Largs is a good place to spend time - not leas as you know the peaceful East Wing is a short drive or a decent walk away. Highly recommended.

Once again Noddsdale provided a fantastic base for us when visiting this part of Scotland. Quite simply the best self-catering accommodation we have ever stayed at.

We're so, so pleased that we found The East Wing, as it was the perfect accommodation for us in the run-up to our wedding at nearby Kelburn Castle! The flat had everything we needed and made the perfect base. It was quite a hectic time, but we loved returning to The East Wing for a relaxing bath and for enjoying the views over the magnificent garden and down to the Clyde from the sitting room window. Noddsdale is a very special place and we'd certainly hope to visit again someday.



Jane replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you so much for finding us and really happy that you were able to relax in the East Wing in amongst all the wedding fever! It would be lovely if you came back some day.

One word describes our stay at Noddsdale..... MAGNIFICENT.
We had the most wonderful stay in the East Wing apartment which was beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable, warm & homely. Every little detail has been thought of with many special touches including complementary delicious home made shortbread and fresh garden flower arrangements. We highly recommend a holiday at Noddsdale.

We would highly recommend the East Wing - it's certainly one of the best self-catering properties we've ever stayed in. Spacious, extremely comfortable, beautifully furnished and very well-equipped. The main living room is fantastic - and I must mention the bed, which was possibly the most comfy I've ever slept in! It's the sort of place you'd happily (as we did!!) spend rainy days just relaxing, reading and enjoying the peace and lovely views. Location is great - you feel away from it all yet it's only a short drive into Largs. Or you can take walks right from the doorstep, giving lovely views out over the islands. Jane and her parents are warm and welcoming and make you feel very much at home. A really lovely place for a holiday!



Jane replied more than 1 year ago
We are so glad you enjoyed yourselves in the East Wing AND that you loved the comfy bed!! It has been a great success. Thank you for coming and loving it.

We booked Noddsdale Estate on the weekend of our wedding, for some family to stay and use as a "Groom Base" on the morning of the wedding. Everything was splendid - Jane was very helpful and accommodating by email from the moment we made the booking. Her mother Elspeth looked after us when we arrived on Friday evening and made sure we were happy.

Thanks so much - would definitely stay here again!

After 8 years of traveling to Scotland, England and Ireland this holiday letting is one of the best we ever had. There is everthing you need in very good an clean condition. Brilliant view to the Loch and the beautiful garden with pheasants and a bed, which is worth its name.
Very nice people also!

We returned to Noddsdale for a second visit because our first experience in 2016 was so enjoyable. We were just as pleased the second time. The East Wing is full of character is very comfortable. It was so relaxing to be able look over the lovely gardens and watch the small ferries sail to and from Cumbrae.

We would have no hesitation in recommending the East Wing for its facilities location and the warm welcome we received.

A holiday stay that has the wow factor! Jane's home is a brilliant mix of the older, quieter, comfortable British way-of-life combined with modern facilities. Its 'get away from it all' but not remote. Superb grounds for wandering around and only a few minutes drive into Largs for shops, restaurants and tourist facilities. Not to mention, close proximity to the many ferry ports for the Firth of Clyde islands - we managed 4 trips in our 7 day stay.

We have just spent a lovely week in the East Wing at Noddsdale House. From the initial emails to those received since coming home we have been made to feel welcome and almost like friends of the family. We were greeted warmly by Jane and Elsbeth (daughter and mother) and Jane showed us round the property and explained everything to us. There was milk in the fridge and a plate of delicious shortbread and flowers on the table. The property is spacious, beautifully furnished with period pieces and pictures, but with a modern and extremely well-equipped kitchen diner. The bed is very comfortable with a firm mattress and extra pillows and blankets if needed and there is lots of storage space for clothes in the bedroom. The shower over the bath is powerful with plenty of hot water, and there are big bath sheets as well as smaller towels. The kitchen is as well equipped as mine at home, maybe even better, and we appreciated the dishwasher. The owners have also provided lots of little thoughtful extras, such as a torch and a pair of binoculars by the front door. The gardens are beautiful and there are great views from the lounge and gardens across to Great Cumbrae. We watched the ferry going to and fro from the ferry port at Largs to Great Cumbrae, and when we visited Great Cumbrae we could pick out the roofs of Noddsdale House amongst the trees in Brisbane Glen. Largs is easily accessible and there are also great walks to be had from the front door of the property. We had rain for 4 of the days that we were there but with such a beautiful and comfortable place to stay (and the Olympics on TV) we didn't feel too hard done by. We would love to return and shall be recommending the place to friends.

Noddsdale East Wing is honest accommodation in the side wing of this grand home. Jane was very easy to deal with in the booking and stay process and it was lovely to meet Elspeth. Set in a beautiful garden our stay was quiet and comfortable as were the bedroom and furnishings of the main living room. Whilst well equipped, Jane's plans to refurbish the kitchen etc. will only enhance and unify the amenity. Thank you for the warm welcome.

The Noddsdale was an excellent place to stay during our trip to Scotland from America. The setting was stunning, with rolling green hills, flowers everywhere, and a beautiful cottage to view it all. The location was great with about a 2 minute drive to town. The cottage was picturesque inside and out. They had everything you could of think of that you'd need and want, and very spacious. Our favorite room was the living room where we enjoyed the fireplace at night with a book - very cozy. The cottage was very clean with comfortable beds. And, Jane was a wonderful host who had excellent communication throughout the trip planning, during, and after. She really made us feel welcomed in a new country. Wonderful place to stay and would love to come back some day! We highly recommend!

We stayed for one night, and loved it. It is a lovely place in a beautfiul setting. Moreover, the communication from the owners was fantastic - including email contact before our stay to enquire after our needs (resulting in the provision of a birthday cake and other supplies). Highly recommended.

Four of us stayed two nights on a stormy weekend in June. The East Wing is steeped with character and you feel at home from the moment you arrive. We were greeted so warmly and nothing was too much trouble, or hadn't been thought of. Tennis rackets tucked into the stand in the hall and courts in the grounds, a perfectly equipped kitchen and the fire in the amazing sitting room was ready for a match to be struck. Outstanding views from the windows and the azaleas were a sight to behold. However, we would feel equally as happy here snuggled up in the depth of winter with the fire lit and a good book. Just don't book when we want to be there, for we most certainly will be back!

Noddsdale is a gem located in the hills of Ayrshire a few short minutes from the beautiful town of Largs. In the sunshine it sparkles, and when the weather turns it is a welcome refuge. For someone who began his life in Scotland, visiting the UK feels like coming home - and Noddsdale is a big part of that."

We loved the East Wing at Noddsdale Estate. The owners were so thoughtful and made us feel very welcome.
The apartment was extremely comfortable with everything needed for 2 people. The lounge room was a delight and we spent a lot of time here.
The location just out of Largs was perfect for touring the area and visiting Glasgow. We would highly recommend Noddsdale Estate and plan to return in 2016.

An excellent stay in really comfortable accommodation. The location meant that within an hour’s drive we could be at most of the area’s places of interest, yet was far enough from the town to provide complete privacy. Easy to relax in the beautiful garden and we were made to feel truly welcome throughout our stay at Noddsdale. Genuinely a winner !
