I'm married to a lady from Greenock and I'd always wanted to see this side of the Clyde. I got to do that a few days ago. It's beautiful. Our first stop was the Ardardan Estate. Great views.... beautiful animals and a very decent farm/visitor shoppe! We arrived on a very early flight from London so when we got to Ardardan the café wasn't yet open. I'm definitely coming back. I loved it here! Staff extremely pleasant and friendly.

We went there as an excursion from our cruise ship last month. This place was awesome! A very personable family owned and family run business and farm. Absolutely gorgeous! Their brownies were delicious! 🤤 I wish I was there right now. The people who owned this place were so gracious, kind, and hospitable that you must go there! The ride to see the farm animals was so fun and entertaining. It is must-stop adventure if you’re in the area! Personally, I wanna go back there. 😊

Really chilled out environment. We had the dogs with us so we sat in the pet friendly area out with the restaurant. Staff did not neglect us. Very well attended to. Had a lovely lunch. Good portion sizes and all meals were complimented. We really enjoyed ourselves. Also bought a few things from the shop, had a wander round the gardens a lovely day out.
