About this property

Elegant Spacious Victorian Apartment With Amazing Views In Glasgow's West End

This elegant Victorian Period three bedroom flat is located in Hyndland in the heart of Glasgow’s fashionable and historic West End. Hyndland is the true gem of the West End; a virtually intact neighbourhood of Victorian tenements that is like traveling back in time. Located at the top of the hill in a quiet tree lined street above Hyndland Bowling Green, the apartment has unrivalled breathtaking views across the Westend skyline and, further afield, landmarks on the river Clyde, the Campsie Fells and the hills of Dumgoyne. This stunning traditional red sandstone flat of over 1900 square feet comprises of six spacious rooms retaining many original features, including period fireplaces in each room, hardwood floors, and corniced high ceilings. All rooms in this elegant flat are wonderfully peaceful and private, and the flat has been included as a filming location for a BBC4 programme.

The lounge features dramatic views from an enchanting five window turret where you can watch the day start in this peaceful neighbourhood. The room is handsomely decorated with period furniture throughout and includes a television, multi-region DVD player and cd player. The recently renovated kitchen is very spacious and features a two sided cooking/preparation area, dishwasher, Nespresso and Delonghi coffee machines, panini maker, and a large kitchen/dining table which can seat four. An adjacent utility room includes a large fridge/freezer, microwave and washer/dryer. In addition, a separate formal dining room provides a lovely atmosphere for evenings, and can also serve as an office space for visiting professionals. Each comfortable and quiet double bedroom is fully carpeted and a long hallway leads to all of the rooms in the apartment, making each very private. All of the three bedrooms are uniquely themed and attractively furnished. Guests are provided with luxurious down comforters and pillows (non-allergen available on request) and plush bath towels. Free wifi is provided throughout the flat, and there is an extensive library of books, including regional guidebooks, for you to enjoy during your stay.

Make this your Scottish home in Glasgow and take home great memories of your stay. We look forward to welcoming you.

Beautiful Spot in West Glasgow

Really pretty 3 BR apartment in a beautiful neighborhood in downtown Glasgow. Nice stores and restaurants within easy walking distance. Beautiful views. Note, for Americans, this is on the fourth floor for us, even though the Scots call if floor three (with what we call the 1st floor they call the ground floor). There is not a key box or remote way to check in, so you do have to do an in-person check-in to receive the keys.

Nice Flat- Quiet Neighborhood

I am currently traveling through Scotland and England with my wife and two adult children. We just stayed at the Hyndland flat; we checked out of there this morning. Overall, our stay was very good. The flat is in a nice, quiet neighborhood that is close to a lot of restaurants and shops, and it’s only a 6-8 minute walk to the train station. We used the train several times to get to City Center and to Edinburgh. There are lots of things to see and do in those two places alone. In addition to places to eat, there are a couple of bars and a small grocery store in the immediate area. Multiple restaurants, bars, and Kelvingrove Art Museum are all within a 15-20 minute walk. The flat is set up nice. There’s a fully furnished kitchen to those that want to prepare a meal or two, and the place is comfortable. I’d stay here again in a heartbeat, but there are two issues that came up with my wife and kids. First, you’ll have to climb three flights of stairs to get to the flat. People with mobility issues, or people carrying large bags of luggage, or groceries, might have a problem with that. I knew what I was getting when I booked this- I read the reviews- but the stairs, multiple times a day, always carrying something, can be a pain. The only other thing I can, or will, document, is the amount of noise the floors make. There are hard wood floors pretty much throughout the flat, and other than a few spots, every step you take will creek. If you’re staying alone, it’s not a big deal, but If there are others that like to sleep in a bit, they won’t get the extra sleep (unless you pick a spot and stay there). I’m an early riser, and just walking to the bathroom or kitchen to make coffee, it felt like I was waking everyone in the flat with me, and probably those below. Other than these two things, I’d say the place is perfect. It really is. If you don’t mind climbing stairs several times a day, after walking all day, or squeaky floors, this place really is for you.

Response from VrboOwner on 9 July 2022
We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay in our flat. We also hope you enjoyed the views across Hyndland and to the mountains, which most guests find are well worth the extra steps. In the summer time it's especially beautiful and very relaxing looking out the turret windows onto the expansive view or watching the lawn bowling at the Hyndland Bowling Green instead of a view looking out on other flats. Also, all tenement flats were built at the turn of the last century and have their original wooden floors which inherently can make noise. We have carpets in all the rooms and wall to wall carpeting in the bedrooms to help buffer the sound while preserving the architectural integrity of the flat. We would be pleased to welcome you and your family back on your next visit to Glasgow. We wish you the best for the rest of your travels around England and Scotland.

Wonderful space and location

Overall this property was really special. There were a few minor items that could do with improvement (non working radios, blunt kitchen knives, weak shower pressure) but the important things were between good and spectacular.

Response from VrboOwner on 18 December 2021
Thank you for your kind review and letting us know of these minor issues. There is a knife sharpener in the kitchen drawer, but thank you for letting us know they needed sharpening and they are now sharp and ready for use. Also, we are sorry you experienced low shower pressure; as with older flats in Glasgow, if you are running two or more large water usage devices (washing machine, dishwasher, shower or kitchen sink) at the same time it will directly affect the water pressure. We will also check the radios as they were all working before your stay. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay in our home and all the details and amenities we have added to make it extra special. It would be a pleasure to welcome you back!

A happy visit.

The apartment was spacious and well equipped. The beds were very comfortable and cosy. Local shops nearby as well as good transport links into the city. The views from the lounge window were amazing - - chimney tops close by and all the way to mountains in the distance when looking in two directions. The dusk skies offering a variety of changing colours.

Response from VrboOwner on 5 March 2020
We are so very sorry to hear about this issue, which we first learned about in your review. We have never had any issue like this with our past guests or ourselves, so we were quite worried when we read your review and immediately contacted you by email for more details. It was a relief to hear from you by email that this issue was actually not in the flat, but only the hallway, and was a temporary situation due to humidity. Thank you so much for clarifying that for us, as we were very worried! Our building factor has also confirmed this was a temporary issue and has been corrected. We are absolutely committed to providing the best possible experience for our guests, and thank you for your confirmation that you had a lovely stay.

It’s a quick walk to the Hop On Hop Off tourist Bus and trains. We loved the flat. It was clean and comforting to come home to after a long day out! Everything you need is available, and it’s quiet.

Perfectly located luxury flat

We enjoyed our stay at this Hyndland flat. It is beautiful and spacious. The flat has 3 lovely, well appointed bedrooms. The kitchen fits the era of the home, yet it’s completely new with everything one would need and sparkling clean. This home feels like a real home, with the lovingly cared for antiques and books, not just a rental property. The views are amazing. From the living room we could watch the sunset and see the lights go on in the flats around us, which makes one feel a part of this lovely neighborhood. We walked to shops and restaurants and always felt comfortable and safe. I would recommend you stay here to feel like you actually live in Glasgow! One warning: you may end up just staying in one day, (as we did), to laze around and enjoy this luxurious, homey, & comfortable flat...and miss a few sights of Glasgow!

A wonderful period apartment in a beautiful area

A relaxing week here in a comfortable and well equipped apartment. We especially liked the views from the lovely large sitting room. We found the area of Hyndland very pleasant and we were able to travel into the city centre many times as the local railway station was only a 5 minute walk. The reason for us awarding the accommodation 4 rather than 5 stars is that the only toilet is in the bathroom!

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
I love cooking for the family, visiting gardens and museums, cozy afternoons with a good book, and relaxing watching the neighbourhood and the lawn bowling green from our drawing room turret. It's a pleasure to open our beautiful home for others to enjoy and experience staying in a restored Victorian tenement mansion.

Why they chose this property

Our family came to Glasgow over 20 years ago and fell in love with the city. We moved to Hyndland because it is a rare perfectly preserved historic neighbourhood. It is a hidden gem in Glasgow and once you experience it, you never want to be anyplace else.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with the breathtaking views from the drawing room turret, along with the charming neighborhood with unique boutique shops. We have thoughtfully decorated and restored our home to bring it back to the elegant Victorian era.
