WORK is underway on the build of a £2.5 million holiday resort destination on the banks of the River Clyde at West Ferry in Renfrewshire.
Set to open this summer, the development of the 18 luxury lodges is being undertaken by River View Luxury Lodges.
Situated right on the southern edge of the River Clyde, with ‘spectacular’ outlooks, each lodge will have ‘uninterrupted’ views of Dumbarton Rock and beyond.
Guests will be able to choose from two and three-bed self-catering lodges, complete with jacuzzi, barrel steam room, a full suite of on-demand TV packages, and BBQ. In addition, there will be a dedicated space for weddings and other events.
River View Luxury Lodges is a venture led by Calum Melville, CEO of Edison Capital, whose operations include East Kilbride-headquartered Principal Building, which will construct and install the lodges.
Mr Melville said, “It has been a long road getting to this point but now that we have all the planning permissions in place, we are looking forward to seeing our vision made a reality.
“The popularity of luxury self-catering lodges in Scotland over the last ten years is well-documented and West Ferry will offer not only a relaxing stay in an idyllic setting but is also readily accessible to a huge swathe of Scotland’s population, being just 10 minutes from the airport and 25 minutes from Glasgow city centre.
“Langbank is a lovely, friendly village with a fine golf course and a hospitality venue that attracts wedding guests and others all year round, so we anticipate that the local economy will be given a welcome economic boost by the River View Luxury Lodges and the steady number of visitors we hope to attract.
“In the wider area there’s something for everyone within a 30-minute drive including prestigious golf courses, fine dining, historical landmarks, and fantastic outdoor activities and scenery.”
