4- and 5-star hotels in Largs
This shortlist gathers the 4- and 5-star places to stay in Largs, from sea-facing apartments and a castle to guest houses and a B&B. It is for couples, families and business travellers who want a solid base in this North Ayrshire town.
Staying in Largs
Largs is a coastal town in North Ayrshire, and the 4- and 5-star stays here are spread across its streets rather than in one resort strip: Kelvin Street, Frazer Street, Charles Street and Douglas St sit inland near the town's shops and services, while Nelson Street, Pier Road, Brisbane Road, Irvine Road, Kilburn Water and Aubery Crescent edge towards the shore and the countryside behind it. Nothing is far, so you are never more than a short walk from the seafront and the town centre.
The mix suits different trips. Couples and small groups have apartments such as Spacious stylish centraly located flat near beach and Largs Stay, plus the sea-view properties on the coast. Families are served by the guest houses and cottages with family rooms, cots and high chairs. Business visitors have the conference hall and restaurant at Whin Park Guest House, and anyone on a short break can pick a central flat, a guest house or the castle and treat Largs as a base.
