The downstairs bathroom has a bath with shower, wash basin and toilet. The upper has shower cabinet, washbasin and toilet
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.

Perfect place to enjoy Scotland & entertain friends & family
We needed self contained care in order to entertain. Every thing was on hand & all shopping was near. There was also time out & revive memories/sightseeing on Cumbria. Great all rounder!

Maison de famille spacieuse et bien située
Agréable séjour dans cette maison confortable et spacieuse. Le logement dispose de pièces de vie et grandes chambres moquettées, avec une décoration et des équipements typiques des maisons de famille de cette région. La cuisine gagnerait à être rénovée. Comme souvent pour ce type de location, le propriétaire n'étant pas sur les lieux, l'entretien et le ménage sont confié à des intervenants. Les extérieurs sont très agréables mais le ménage laissait ici à désirer. Entre autres, les occupants précédents avaient laissé couler des produits laitiers autour du réfrigérateur sans nettoyer, et le ménage n'a pas été suffisamment approfondi : nous avons mis trois jours à nous débarrasser de l'odeur persistante qui avait envahi la maison après avoir lavé réfrigérateur, sols, etc.

Great place for a large family
We were eight (reducing to seven as one had to return to London early). The house is very comfortable with everything you need. The railway station is easy walking distance and parking outside the house not a problem - a very quiet road. The owner could not have been more helpful.

Superbe maison dans un endroit magnifique. Le propriétaire, Leonard, est super et donne toutes les informations et conseils pour rendre le séjour le plus agréable possible. Les lits sont confortables, la maison est propre et dispose de toutes les commodités nécessaires pour rendre le séjour parfait. N'hésitez pas à réserver ce logement proche de tout. Pour information, il y a une voie ferrée à côté de la maison, ce n'est pas dérangeant, nous n'avons rien entendu.

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.

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 are from the states and have family that lives in Scotland. What a great time we had. The house was made just for us! Plenty of space and so convenient. A very nice cozy home with plenty of space and a beautiful garden. We had many songbirds that we enjoyed hearing every morning.

Schöne, große Unterkunft, nicht so sauber
Das Haus hat eine ideale Lage, 3 Minuten zum Meer und knapp 10 Minuten in die Stadt. Die Nachbarschaft ist ruhig, lediglich der Zug fährt direkt neben dem Haus vorbei, was aber nicht wirklich laut zu hören war. Sehr große Zimmer, toll funktionierende Zentralheizung! Auch der Kontakt mit dem Vermieter lief einwandfrei! Leider war das Haus nicht sooo sauber wie gewünscht. Im Bad im OG war Dreck in der Dusche, es stand ein altes verrostetes Gestell herum als Ablage für Duschgele etc., in einem Zimmer lagen Fingernägel auf dem Nachttisch und insgesamt gab es immer wieder Ecken, die nicht wirklich sauber waren (Staub, Schmutz, an einer Tasse hing ein verschimmelter Teebeutel). Auch sind beide Bäder ziemlich „schimmelig“. Das obere bad war aufgrund eines Wasserschadens nicht wirklich benutzbar, das wussten wir aber bereits vorher. Alles in allem war der Preis aber sehr gut für das Haus. Wir haben dann eben selber noch ein bisschen geputzt, damit es für uns gut war. Wir würden auch wieder kommen!

New Year holiday with Family
Holiday for 8 plus baby and dog. House is in great location for walking in to town centre. Only 5.minutes from beach front. Bedrooms great size, as well as kitchen, but lounge and dining room too small to be comfortable for our party. Fire in lounge not working, leak in lounge, and damp in bedrooms. Water was always hot but can't use both showers, or a shower and taps at same time, which made getting ready take a long time. Kitchen is a great size, but in poor repare. House does have everything you need for a stay but if you are looking for any form of luxury this doesn't have it, although beds are comfortable and shower is decent. Have raised damp and leak with owner who responded quickly, but think it's really important to call out as we had a person going through chemotherapy and 2 asthmatics with us, all who were impacted by the damp.

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.
