Strathclyde Self Catering cottage, Woodstock Lodge, Wemyss Bay, sleeps 6

Just WOW!!!
Where do I start? This was our first trip to Scotland as a family and we knew we were in for a treat the minute we booked online, but we didn't realise just how special Woodstock lodge would be. We arrived to a very warm friendly (covid-safe) welcome from John who talked us through everything we needed to know. The lodge its self was amazing! Everything had been thought of, from cotton buds to towels and the most thoughtful welcome basket, home made scones, lemonade and even a bottle of wine! The kids were also amazed when they went to bed to discover a chocolate bar had been left for them! The lodge is on a lovely quite private part of the site and is nicely set back near the woods for wildlife spotting. The hot tub was a lovely way to unwind after a busy day, however it was so warm when we visited we didn't use it all that much. My personal favorite however what the front deck. The perfect place to sit with a glass and get stuck into a good book. There is also a washer dryer which came in handy too. Location wise, you have everything near by. We went from Wemyss Bay over to Bute (You can see the ferry terminal from the lodge deck so you always know what times the crossings are). We also visited, Largs, Millport on the Isle of Cumbrae, Loch Lomond (Cruise from Ballock) and Edinburgh (1.5hr drive). The beach is a 15 minute walk from the lodge where you can find the most amazing pieces of sea glass. You can also drive and park right along side. We visited on four occasions, the first time we even saw a pod of four dolphins up close!! There is also a lovely walk just down the hill and to the left (signposted costal path route) where you'll find some lovely waterfalls. If you get the chance to book up at Woodstock, just take it! We loved every second and really didn't want to return home. Thank you John and Paul for an amazing week. We cant wait to come back again!

Perfect Spot
Just home from a week's stay at the lodge. Loved everything about it. The lodge sleeps 6 with 2 doubles and a twin. Absolutely everything had been thought of from a very generous welcome pack which included scones and homemade jam, to 'how tos' for everything, robes and slippers and hot tub flip flops. We took a lot of things with us and needn't have bothered as everything was available. The lodge was spotless and the views just made it the perfect place to relax and unwind. The hot tub was amazing. The owners had litterally thought of everything. Just a brilliant week. We hope to visit again soon.

Awesome
We booked a week here over Easter and awesome does not describe the lodge or the hosts. as it was Easter they had placed Easter eggs all around the lodge for the kids to find. this just epitomizes how the lodge was. Every extra was there. bath towels, slippers, etc. the lodge is spotless and the hot tub was too. instructions were clear and easy to follow to keep the tub clean. Sorry, this took too long, life catches up with you but looking through old photos made me think. would I go back? Oh yes. Plus if you go you have to visit the station, its amazing.

Lovely holiday in a fantastic lodge
We stayed for a week in October at Woodstock Lodge and found it to be the perfect base for a holiday The lodge was spotlessly clean, warm, and exceptionally comfortable with lots of added extras that really made the holiday feel very special. We have booked to come again next year.
