Knock Old Castle in Largs Reviews

Patricia Jacques
9th August 2025
Knock Old Castle is a treasure! It is like having a fairytale castle all to yourself! Its restoration has obviously been a labour of love which has resulted in a truly unique and beautiful place to stay. The views are stunning and the outside space is lovely, private and practical for little ones to run around and older ones to relax. We (multi-generational family from 4 months up to quite a bit older - plus dogs) absolutely loved it.
