Location and Transportation

The area hosts events including Europe's largest touring Halloween show and rum festivals throughout the year.
Guest Services
Hosts provide personalized service with local recommendations for restaurants and attractions. The property offers a selection of 500 DVDs and Blu-rays from the host's personal collection. The Victorian building has been restored with attention to original architectural details, creating a quiet environment despite its central location.
“What sets this guest house apart is its unique blend of Victorian charm and attentive, personalized service; the cooked-to-order breakfast and curated DVD collection add to the feeling of being a welcomed guest, not just a room number. Its proximity to Kelvingrove Park and the University enriches the experience, offering a serene escape with cultural touchpoints just steps away. In my opinion, it's a particularly appealing choice for those seeking a more intimate and authentic Glasgow visit.”
