River View Luxury Lodges is set to open its new holiday resort this spring as construction is underway on 18 luxury lodges on the banks of the Clyde.
The £2.5m investment project undertaken by River View Luxury Lodges is located by the end of the M8 at West Ferry, Langbank, Renfrewshire.
Ground has been broken this week and the owners expect to welcome their first visitors this summer when the first tranche of six lodges open.
Situated right on the southern edge of the river Clyde, each lodge will have views of Dumbarton Rock and beyond.
Guests will be able to choose from two and three-bed high-end 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.
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.”
He added: “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.”
