David was a fantastic driver and I can not recommend his company enough! As a young solo female traveler, I wanted to make sure to book a chauffeur service I could trust and felt comfortable using. After researching multiple car companies, Stanelydrive kept coming up with great reviews and I decided to give them a try. I used David multiple times on my 2 month trip for airport transfers, half day and full day trips. Great customer service, best pricing and beautiful luxury cars. If you're looking for a reliable service don't hesitate to give David a try, you won't regret it!

What a Fantastic experience! I treated my Dad for his 70th & my husband's birthday. My Dad loves playing flight simulator on his computer so this was a massive step up and he loved every second! My husband was thrilled also! I quite enjoyed watching it all happen too! Every staff member was so lovely and Chris, their instructor was amazing! So patient & extremely knowledgeable. The briefing room is a nice touch to get you excited. The simulator is exactly like the real thing, cockpit wise and the simulation itself is very realistic. I would highly recommend this experience to any flight/pilot enthusiast. It was far better than any of us expected.

Our kids loved it! Robyn, their instructor was fab! Really friendly, smily, supportive and great with our kids, especially when our younger one was too afraid of doing the drop zone. We originally booked for the skypark - as it was really quiet, they were offer a shot of the drop zone and climbing for the last 10 minutes of their allocated time. Our, younger one was really afraid at the beginning, but within minutes, she was loving it! Robyn played a big part in that, thanks. Would definitely recommend it. The kids wanted to go again, so we are here for a second visit! I am writing this positive review while they are up enjoying themselves again.

RSPB Lochwinnoch Nature Reserve

On the doorstep of Scotland's biggest city and on the Glasgow-Ayr train-line, RSPB Lochwinnoch is a real treat for nature lovers of all ages and abilities. Walk in the woodland, or sit for a while in our hide and watch the birds out on the water. For something more active, try a spot of pond dipping or try out the natural play area - very popular with kids! Alternatively, watch birds from the comfort of the visitor centre with, or even indulge in some retail therapy in the gift shop.
