A £2.5 million holiday resort destination is expected to open in Langbank in the summer.

The project, which has 18 luxury lodges available for year-round rental, is located on the southern edge of the River Clyde.

Six lodges are expected to be completed in the first phase in the summer.

The project is run by River View Luxury Lodges, a venture led by Calum Melville, chief executive officer of Edison Capital.

Construction is now underway. 

Calum 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 Gazette: The resort will also offer a dedicated space for weddings and other events.

“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.”
