Mews experience in the West End

Spacious, airy, well appointed and equipped, Park Mews was a great base for visiting friends and sites in Glasgow. Beds were comfy and despite it’s central location it was quiet. Plenty of eateries etc nearby and easy grocery shopping within 5 mins walk. We were able to park easily nearby but next time would just walk or use public transport.

Boat was great. Off street parking was a little bit hard for our big rental van but really enjoyed our stay

Spacious modern apartment in a fabulous & quiet neighbourhood

Beautifully appointed & spacious apartment very close to Glasgow university & city centre. Bus stop, eateries, bars & convenience stores all within a short walk. We were provided a generous welcome pack to help us settle in for our 12 day stay & we were shown how to use the modern amenities. A very comfortable stay.

Nice Apartment in Central Glasgow

The flat was clean and very handy to the city center. We were met by Graham to collect the keys and communication was excellent throughout the booking process. Numerous cafes and restaurants in walking distance from the Apartment. Only minus would be that there wasn't a welcome pack which would have been handy after a long trip. Apart from that I would recommend this apartment.

Great Central Glasgow Stay

Wonderful apartment for central Glasgow experience. Close to all amenities and an ideal base for exploring the city. The host Raymond is very helpful, friendly and welcoming, and we really appreciated the flowers and breakfast he supplied, and all the items the place is stocked with. We really benefited from his Glasgow guidebooks. It's a noisy environment being in the heart of the city, so BYO earplugs if you're noise sensitive, as we did need them - but that's an easy trade-off for this great spot. We really appreciated the home comforts after long days - ample chairs, cushions, bed linen and towels (and hot water) etc. As self-catering cooks, it was great to have a really lovely kitchen but we would have enjoyed a bit more cookware. The washing machine works well (and there's enough drying racks which is truely rare) but the coffee machine defeated me! The lounge room has nice views out onto the neighbourhood and is comfy. The bathroom is adequate. The main bedroom would benefit from a carpet (it's rather a different style from the rest of the place) while the huge back bedroom has a great vibe and very comfy twin beds. The nineteenth century apartment building is a bit knocked around by age but still a grand dame. Pictures are accurate. This stay was a great start to our holiday in Scotland. Highly recommended.
