Pleasant Well Equipped Flat
Review Submitted: March 3, 2010 Date of Stay: February 2010
This flat is modern, clean and well equipped. We were welcomed by the owner on our arrival. There is designated parking, with a barrier at the main entrance. The flat is quiet, with no noise from nearby flats; in fact we didn’t see anyone from the neighbouring flats during our stay.

It’s possible to walk into the centre of Glasgow in about 20 minutes, to enjoy the many attractions of the city. If you prefer not to walk there are buses and taxis within a short distance. There are also a number of shops a short walk away.

During our stay we visited Loch Lomond and Luss, which can easily be reached by car. Considering we visited in February the weather was quite kind as well.

Owner’s Response: Thank you for your kind words. We are glad you both enjoyed your stay in Glasgow.

Very comfortable flat

Review Submitted: January 23, 2010 Date of Stay: January 2010
My wife and I, and my two young boys were very happy with the flat when we spent a week there over the christmas holiday period. The flat’s located in an area of Glasgow which 15 / 20 years ago would not have been our chosen spot to spend a holiday. The area has undergone a real upgrade. Within easy walking distance is the Glasgow Cathedral, the St Mungo museum and the Provands Lordship House, and from there it’s not that far to the centre of town. We found the flat to be very clean and well equiped. It’s well insulated, we turned most of the radiators off because it was too warm. It was also very quiet, even over hogmanay when you would expect some party noise. The flat has also free off road parking. The owners met us as arranged to provide the keys and useful information. They were polite and very helpful, and were kind enough to post us the snow white dvd which we left in the player, much to the appreciation of our boys.

Excellent holiday

Review Submitted: July 16, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
On arrival we were met by John & Kathleen who were very helpful with local info. (more in folders in the flat). The flat was great – very clean & everything that you might need was provided (including a washing machine!). Taxi into Glasagow centre for £4 (just walk to the main road – never waited more than 2 minutes for a taxi to pass) – lots of good pubs/restaurants & friendly people. Neighbour across the landing had a housewarming party on the day we arrived, but we heard no noise in the flat. Even better, we were invited to the party, even though we were at least 30 years older than everyone there! Really nice people. Visited Edinburgh & Loch Lomond by train & didn’t have enough time to cover all the shops, galleries & museums in Glasgow in the week that we were there. Fantastic city that we hope to visit again. I would recommend this apartment to anybody -it’s well situated, well furnished, clean & quiet. What more could you want? Thanks to John & Kathleen for helping us have a fantastic holiday.
Owner’s Response: Thank you for your kind comments. We try our best to make our guests feel welcome and at home. Any information we can provide to make thier stay in Glasgow run as smooth as possible.
Thank you once again.

Lovely Flat

Review Submitted: June 16, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
This was a lovely flat with lots of space and comfort. The location was a convenient as a short walk took you to the heart of the city. There was plenty of room to spread out and the apartment grounds were well kept. John and Kathleen were so helpful and with a quick tour of the flat one can plainly see that they take pride in their business as they are very meticulous and covered all details making it a very fun and inviting atmosphere for families with children! If returning to Glasgow, I would not hesitate to rent this flat again!

We enjoyed our two night stay in this very comfortable flat. Kathleen and John, as well as having a cot and high chair for our 16 month old, very consideratly left some toys for her to play with as well. A great idea after days of touring in the car. The walk in to Glasgow city center was about 15 minutes, not too far at all and so much easier than tring to take the car in. The kitchen was very well equipt for self catering, and there was an easy walk to supermarkets and cafes. The Curry Cafe, a 5 minute drive away does great Indian take away though if you don’t want to cook. Thanks again to Kathleen and John for a very enjoyable stay.
