Bethany's Retreat

The lodge is extremely clean and comfortable and had everything we needed, and more.

Lovely view over the Clyde. Enjoyed from the veranda and from inside big glass doors and windows when it rained. Very handy for the ferry to Bute, train and buses to Glasgow and Largs, and a good cafe, all by the entry to the Park. It is situated in a quiet separate corner to a very large holiday park. Do not follow google maps to find Bethany's Retreat. It took us into the maze of lodges where we got lost! We should have followed John's directions better. From entry off the main road follow the drive up till an abandoned caravan on the left where you must go straight on through a gateway ( Argyll View) not on up the drive round to the right which takes you into the main Park. We enjoyed our week there and would definitely stay again.

Greeted and shown around on arrival by John, the owner and straight away we could feel the accommodation had the WOW factor.

Amazingly large inside, and furnished and decorated to a high spec. 2 bedrooms, main one having walk in wardrobe area and ensuite, large lounge area and fully equipped kitchen, and a family bathroom. Everything we needed was provided, included a much appreciated welcome pack. Very dog friendly with bowls and poop bags provided. Large decking area with outdoor furniture and an outdoor heater if needed, and the views over the sea were amazing! Great watching the ferries coming and going. The lodge is on a beautifully landscaped and quiet area of the park and was private and not overlooked. This has been one of the best holiday accommodations we have had. Thank you.

Lovely lodge, very spacious with outstanding sea views.

Great to sit and watch the ferries coming in and out, even saw some porpoise passing by, through binoculars. A minor point - the double mattress could do with upgrading - but everything else was brilliant. Thank you to John for a friendly welcome and lovely place to stay.

Was looking forward to staying at Bethanys Retreat on seeing the photos on the site.

We were met with the owner on arrival who showed us everything we needed to know. This property was great, plenty of room, everything there needed for our stay. The views across the bay are beautiful, seeing the ferries crossing over to Bute.

Everything was perfect, we would book again.

Beautiful view but unfortunately accommodation not as described in listing.

Unable to use BBQ as no gas cylinder, heavily stained mattress in second bedroom as no protectors on bed and pillows. Washing machine was broken on arrival but fixed after a week. Outdoor furniture unable to be used as rusty and broken also collapsed while sitting on it. Owner did replace said furniture with plastic chairs which weren't as comfortable for enjoying the lovely weather. This accommodation is in such a beautiful setting but unfortunately it needs a lot of tlc to match the rating originally given by Sykes.

Needs a little tlc in places but otherwise it was a lovely place to stay, certainly nothing was a deal breaker, in fact I do believe my brother has already booked to stay again, lovely location too.

Home from home with all its facilities.

Nothing too much trouble for owners. Brilliant views as described lovely and quiet.

The lodge was in a great position on the site.

Amazing views. Had everything in the Lodge you needed. Plenty of extras and thoughtful supplies. John the owner met us at the Lodge and explained how everything worked. He was very friendly and it was lovely to meet him.

Everything was perfect.

On our arrival John was there to greet us and show us around. There was milk and tea coffee and a few other basic provisions. The view from the balcony was spectacular. Bethanys retreat was a great base to explore the area .I am sure we will be back

Great place everything you need.

Owner thought of everything very pleasant site, quiet (we were there out of season) lovely spot for exploring Largs and surrounding areas. Plenty of walks and plenty of time to relax. Would definitely recommend plenty of space and cooking facilities if you want to cook yourself or local takeaway places nearby. Definitely will be going back.

Absolutely beautiful lodge, owner (John) was lovely, very welcoming showed me round the Lodge and where everything was and how it worked, it's so much larger than shown in pictures.

And the views just Wow!! Amazing. The owners John & Elaine also go above and beyond making sure there's fresh milk in fridge, variety of coffee and tea, sauces etc nice sweet treats, flowers. Had a wonderful stay, even with bad weather. Would highly recommend this property. See yous both soon. Thank you

Beautiful well appointed lodge.

Stunning scenery. Stayed off-season which was ideal, very peaceful and relaxing. A perfect start to the year!

What an amazing lodge.

Everything was perfect and the hosts had gone out of their way to include lots of extras which really were so thoughtful and kind.

everything was great with our stay.

the lodge was well equipped with everything you needed. The owners added extra touches were apricated. They only uncomfortable element was an uncomfortable mattress on the double bed. this did not take away any of our enjoyment. Thank you very much.

What a beautiful stay we had, met by Eileen she's so friendly and welcoming showing us around and where everything was and also some local recommendations.

The Lodge had everything we could need an more even the small touches for dogs and extra toiletries if you needed them. We had such a lovely stay and would love to re book for next year. Such a lovely view to sit out and watch the world the go by.

Everything you need at this lodge lovely views and a nice welcome letting you know where and how things work

Brilliant lodge.

John and Elayne are exceptional hosts.

Their hospitality is outstanding. The lodge is fully equipped and beautifully arranged. We booked again for next year within hours of arriving. The position of the lodge is perfect with amazing views across the Clyde. We thoroughly enjoyed our week in the lodge and were blown away with the generosity and incredible attention to detail John and Elayne have lovingly invested in it. Can't wait to come back....

Warm welcome to a beautiful property with a fantastic view.

We had absolutely everything we needed it was so well appointed. We would have no hesitation in booking again in the future.

A beautiful lodge in a glorious location with a fantastic sea view.

The owners were very welcoming and had provided everything you could need and more

Wow.

.. such an amazing place, the lodge couldn't be any better, it was such a perfect holiday,we had amazing weather, the location couldn't be better very handy for the train and ferry station. Elayne and John go above and beyond with extra touches to make your arrival welcoming. I cannot recommend Bethany's retreat enough 10/10

Had a lovely stay in your wonderful caravan.

Thank you for having us - We had a wonderful time!

The lodge was really value for money, right on the edge of the Parkedean holiday resort so we were untroubled by other visitors and had great views of the sea.

The property was light and airy with good decor and plenty of utensils and gadgets in the well stocked kitchen, It was also very close to the shops and the butchers sold great pies and had lovely cafe - we went on the recommendation of the owner and were not disappointed.

Amazing week's stay at Bethany's Retreat!

The lodge was beautiful, well equipped, and spotlessly clean. The extra's provided by Elayne and John were fantastic, we would highly recommend a stay here and we are looking forward to visiting again in the future.

The lodge is beautiful and I'm sure they're very proud of such a lovely holiday accommodation.

Lovely lodge in a lovely quiet location on the site.

Facilities within the lodge were great. Hosts were amazing and we were made to feel so welcome. The extra touches were fantastic. Would thoroughly recommend and will return without hesitation should we decide to come back to this area of Scotland.
