We know Largs very well. It's always a pleasure to visit. So many interesting places to visit. We had a lovely meal at Seamill Hydro. Lovely surroundings too. Had a quick snack at Worthspoons. Will give this a miss next time.

Fabulous, my third or fourth stay in Largs and I never get tired of it. Scenery is beautiful, walk along the coast path watching the ferries, and in better weather there's nowhere nicer to have a picnic and watch the sea. Good hourly rail connections to Glasgow, from where the rest of Western Scotland and the UK are easily accessible. Also change at Kilwinning for the Ayr line, which has some lovely seaside resorts too.

A nice town to stay in if you like to be away from the city, and enjoy being by the sea and walks along the waterfront. Only a short ferry trip to the lovely Isle of Bute, good charity shops and pubs, lovely staff in Costa Coffee, friendly locals and a nice train ride to Glasgow.

Largs town itself is a bit run down (but this is like most places on the West coast especially these days). Limited availability of supermarkets if you need to buy groceries for self catering, but you can get what you need. I didn't eat out but there did look to be a good selection of different types of eateries, Italian, Chinese, traditional, etc. Also actually good for doing some shopping. That's not why I was there but was pleasantly surprised by the shops on the Main St leading down to the promenade. If you are looking for a place to spend a leisurely time and don't need a lot to do apart from go for nice walks and eat ice cream then this is the place for you! And of course if you want you can visit Millport from Largs. The walk along the promenade in Largs is very pleasant, good for fresh air walks but was very busy with families, dogs etc and this was in Winter, so must be absolutely chocca in Summer. Also, respect to the people eating ice-cream at 0 degrees celsius - gotta have that in Largs no matter what the weather haha:) It's also a good place if you want a base to explore more of the wider area because the train station is very central but there is also a bus service which goes to Wemyss Bay, Fairlie, Gourock, Greenock etc, ending up in Glasgow. So you can go exploring:). The bus journey is quite scenic. Bus leaves just outside the train station. (I didn't know this but found out cause all the trains got cancelled:( So good for a back up if nothing else!

My visit to Largs in Scotland was an enchanting experience that left a lasting impression. Nestled along the picturesque coastline, Largs offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, historical charm, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Exploring the town was a delight, with its charming streets lined with quaint shops, cafes, and friendly locals. The scenic promenade, overlooking the Firth of Clyde, provided breathtaking views and a serene ambiance. The iconic Nardini's, an ice cream parlor with a rich history, was a sweet treat not to be missed. Largs is steeped in history, and a visit to the Vikingar! museum offered fascinating insights into the town's Norse heritage. The renowned Kelburn Castle and Country Centre, adorned with vibrant murals, added a touch of whimsy to the historical landscape. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate a stroll through the beautifully landscaped Brisbane Glen, offering a peaceful retreat surrounded by lush greenery. Additionally, a visit to the nearby Cumbrae Island, easily accessible by ferry, provided an opportunity to soak in more stunning coastal views. The warmth of the local community was evident everywhere, making me feel right at home. Whether enjoying traditional Scottish fare at local pubs or engaging in friendly conversations with locals, the hospitality was truly heartwarming. In conclusion, Largs in Scotland is a gem waiting to be discovered. Its blend of natural beauty, historical richness, and friendly locals make it a must-visit destination. I left with fond memories, and I can't wait to return to this Scottish coastal haven
