Parking immediately outside house on street or in field ground adjacent to house if preferred.


Largs Town Centre: The compact town centre, which is only ten minutes walk from the Villa, is attractive and is close to both the sea front and the Cumbrae ferry terminal. Parking can be difficult in the town in high season. The town has a Morrison's supermarket and many shops including WH Smith and Superdrug. There are numerous cafes, bars, restaurants and take- aways.
For the energetic walker and sporty type Largs and surrounding areas offers much including a top class sporting centre. For those who wish to totally relax the promenade walks are gentle, in particular the walk to the Marina, via the Pencil Monument, where you can have a refreshment and dine in very pleasant surroundings.
A regular train service to Glasgow operates seven days a week and it allows for connections to both Glasgow and Prestwick airports. Good reasonably priced taxis are readily available. Frequent bus service to Greenock, Ayr and Glasgow. For full details on methods of travelling to and about Largs and surrounding area, visit the Tourist Information Centre beside railway station.
For historical information visit the Historical Society which is in Manse Court (adjacent to the George Inn in the Main Street). Also St.Columba;s Church.
Golf: Many golfers who wish to play the many excellent courses in Ayrshire -there are 45 of them- (including Turnberry and Royal Troon) use Largs as their base because of the 2 local courses, Routenburn (where a young Sam Torrance learnt his craft) and Kelburn and the fact that most courses are within 15 to 45 minutes drive from Largs. Virtually all courses welcome visitors and are reasonably priced. Expect to pay quite a bit more for Royal Troon and Turnberry and they are likely to ask for handicap certificates. Specific details on courses and their location can be provided on request although the Internet gives considerable detail on each course. The Island of Cumbrae which lies about a mile off the Largs coast has a good 18 holes and provides wonderful vistas of the Clyde and its islands. It is very popular and prior booking is recommended. The Island of Arran has a number of good courses (9 and 18 holes). The Island of Arran is reached by car ferry from Ardrossan (12 miles south of Largs)

Excursion Trips: These are numerous and a visit to the Tourist Information Centre is worthwhile. However have a day out in the county town of Ayr and take in the Robert Burns country. He was born in Alloway just south of Ayr. Burns cottage is now a museum. Close to the cottage is the recently opened Burns Experience Centre. One hour's drive will take you to the Trossachs which on a fine day is a scenic delight. From here you can go onto Stirling and visit its very fine castle. The remarkable Falkirk Wheel in the town of Falkirk should be visited. Rob Roy's country is close by. Take a ferry from Gourock over to the island of Bute (Dunoon or Hunter's Quay) and meander up the A885 through the scenic grandeur wildness of Argylleshire to Tarbet. From there turn south and this will take you beside the Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond. Keep on the A82 and cross the Erskine Bridge and back on to the M8 towards Greenock and eventual return to Largs. These are relaxing drives and the roads are seldom busy. Glasgow is 50 min drive from Largs and Edinburgh 1.5 hours.

Everything about this property was perfect! Great location, terrific and well stocked kitchen and baths and bedrooms. Leonard’s instructions were clear and helpful. He even had a list of things to do! And Largs is simply a wonderful vacation spot. We’re already planning a return next summer.

There are many pros about this property! The house is in a very desirable area, and is super close to the waterfront, ferry and downtown Largs. We frequently walked to town in the evenings for an ice cream or fish n chips! The owner is friendly and can be reached for any questions.The home is older and could use updating and this is the reason for the 4*, but some things have already been done like the bathrooms, appliances and windows are newer. There are 2 bedrooms on the main floor so this was great for my mother who preferred to be on the main floor, and there is a bathroom on each floor too! There was always ample parking and it's in a nice and quiet area, thanks for a great stay and we would definitely stay there again!

Old fashioned courtesy lives on

I was intrigued to read that Leonard’s parents built the house in the 1950’s. It has been well looked after and adapted to suit changing needs. Leonard’s notes of guidance and advice were all most welcomed. Were the pictures on the landing of his parents?We enjoyed our stay.

Home away from home.

This was our fifth time staying in the John Street house in Largs. Our first time there as a family was 17 years ago when my husband lost a kidney to cancer and we wanted to celebrate his recovery. The location is perfect. Just steps from the beach and the house is spacious with everything a large family needs.

We had the best time at this property. It’s fully stocked with everything we needed. Prompt response from the owner. The location is the best part. Minutes to the ocean and another 15 from downtown.

Largs summer trip

We enjoyed our stay in this large spacious detached property, it has a lovely outside garden space with lots of room inside. It was a short walk into the town centre and closer to the swing park, waterfront and supermarket. It was perfect having 2 downstairs bedrooms and 3 more on the upper level for our 3 generations of family. A real plus was to have a bathroom upstairs and downstairs too. Many thanks.

About the host

Hosted by L Martin

Host profile image
My family have owned the house since it was built in the mid 1950's and it has been steadily modernised and altered internally during the ensuing decades to meet changing needs. However it retains its character, is a good family house and very suitable for holidaymakers.

Why they chose this property

The house is set apart from other properties and is also situate in a quiet part of the town. There is a good sized back garden which is safe for children and if the weather is good the barbecue is available for use .Table and chairs are set out.
The promenade is about 200 yards away and if you have children there are 2 play parks , one located on the promenade being very good and the other about 100 yards from the house.
Many craft sail on the Firth of Clyde and with yachts plying on the Firth in front of the islands it is a most pleasant sight. Sun sets over the river can be quite glorious.
