Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious and very comfortable rooms, though they could benefit from updating, especially concerning noise from traffic. The service provided was excellent, with staff going above and beyond to assist guests, even with specific needs. The location is ideal for exploring the area, with easy access to attractions and transportation. The dining experience was pleasant, with well-cooked meals served in a friendly atmosphere.
The hotel was warm and comfortable, with spotlessly clean, albeit small, rooms. The location, about a 10-minute walk from Largs town centre, was ideal for short bus rides or enjoyable walks along the seafront. The dining was good overall, although the cooked breakfast might be a bit skimpier, so it's recommended to fill up with cereal and toast first. From my childhood memories, it was just outside the town centre where we spent pleasant hours.
The hotel was in a lovely quiet location just outside the town center, making it ideal for a nice leisurely walk along the prom into the center of Largs. The rooms, though dated, were incredibly comfortable and spotlessly clean. The service was truly welcoming, especially from Wilma, and we even got an upgrade despite booking late through booking. The dining experience was fantastic, with one of the best full Scottish breakfasts we've had in years in Scotland. The facilities were top-notch, enhancing our overall stay.
