Area. Milngavie is ranked Scotland’s most beautiful mainland town centre and is one of Glasgow’s most sought-after semi-urban/semi-rural areas with easy access to the city centre. The villa is set in a quiet upmarket neighbourhood and benefits from high-walled perimeters, affording tremendous privacy, yet enjoys easy access (< 150m away) to the start of the West Highland Way, Mugdock Country Park, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. The Forth-Clyde Canal, with its flat cycle tracks, is also within easy reach. It is tucked away but less than a hundred metres from the charming, pedestrian-only, garden village centre of Milngavie, which is 20 minutes from Glasgow’s city centre. Off-street parking behind solid privacy gates is available for 5 cars in the driveway, with ample on-street parking also (free). Milngavie is ranked Scotland’s most beautiful mainland town centre and is one of Glasgow’s most sought-after semi-urban/semi-rural areas with easy access to both city centre and contrasting rural escapes. The village is situated on the edge of the beautiful Mugdock Country Park with the West Highland Way starting close by. With proximity to stunning scenery everywhere to be seen, Milngavie remains one of the most beautiful and rewarding places to live in Scotland. As well as its rich history, Milngavie is served by a wide range of independent shops (crafts, delis & grocery stores), banks and major retailers such as M&S, Tesco and Waitrose. It is only 1 minute walk to an abundance of local facilities all within the traffic-free village centre. In addition, it has easy access to leisure amenities that include sports centres, golf courses, cinema complexes, as well as Glasgow’s renowned concert and theatre venues. The village also benefits from fantastic transport links for the M8 to Edinburgh, A9 to Stirling/Perth or M74 to the South and England. With its frequent and efficient local and main line railway networks, Glasgow is not only easily accessible by car or train but well serviced by two local airports.
Usage. Business and corporate clients can make use of free high-speed internet access and the quality living space makes it ideal for entertaining or for family gathering events. Families with youngsters will be easily entertained by the proximity of EITHER (in one direction) the many walks, lochs and beautiful scenery OR (in the other direction) popular sights such as Kelvingrove Galleries, Botanic Gardens or Transport Museum and copious theatre/concert venues. Oodles of easily-accessed bus, taxi and train transport options (all <5 minutes walk) provide access to the many outstanding cultural, sporting, music and culinary delights which all help make Glasgow into this city of culture and architecture.
Relax. Guests can simply arrive, relax and unwind in the spacious living areas, comprising a custom-made kitchen featuring oakwood finishings and modern kitchen appliances to prepare scrumptious lunches or evening meals. Alternatively, meals can be prepared by trained cooks who have catered for ski groups, wedding reception parties and national sports teams. Very reasonable prices available for family meals - breakfasts, packed lunches, afternoon teas, cocktail masterclasses and evening meals - whilst you enjoy the vast range of nearby amenities, bars, coffee shops - all within walking distance.
Baby-Toddler Clobber. We will provide travel cots, high chairs, stair gates, games and toys. Childrens' plastic cutlery and 'crockery' is also on hand. So, you don't need to pack all that clobber! ;-)

A fantastic property for large groups in a great location. The owner could not have done more to make our trip a special one and our stay in Milngavie and surrounding area was the more enjoyable for having a great base.

We had an extended family group of 22. Some had never met before and others hadn't seen each other in years. Our hosts went far and beyond welcoming us, providing help with transportation and becoming wonderful friends. It was a wonderful, relaxing and meaningful time together. Thanks to our amazing hosts! The house was very clean and comfortable.

We had an amazing stay. The house was perfect for our family; lots of space both inside and out. The hot tub was a fantastic bonus. It was very clean and had a lovely view. The town Milngavie is just a 5-minute walk from the house with lots of shops and restaurants to choose from. We also spent some time on the hiking trails around, which were all incredible. Chris and Frances were incredible hosts! We would love to return.

Chris was very accommodating and responsive before and during our visit. Milngavie is a nice little area, with easy access by train to Glasgow!
The property had the items and accommodations we required. The largest ground floor bedroom had a slight musty smell, which is likely due to the close proximity to the laundry area- but it did not detract from our overall experience.

We booked this home for our first trip t o Scotland
We brought my father in law for his first trip back to,Glasgow he left over 60 years ago
He is 84 so I was worried if he would be able to navigate the house and surroundings
Chris was wonderful he made,sure we were well accommodated and checked in to make sure everything was going well
The rooms were comfortable and clean
The kitchen was,great as we were a group of 9 and were able to cook and eat without crowding
There is a second sitting area which was nice when you want to sit and read,or just relax away from,the group
The yard and scenary made it enjoyable for my father in law with limited mobility ,he could sit outside and enjoy the view
The home is within walking distance to train station resteraunts shopping. We only used our rental car for longer excursions to st andrews and the kelpies
This is a great home with attentive owner and great location.
I,would highly recommend to other families

Having spent almost 2 weeks in Scotland in a number of lets, this being the most expensive I had high expectations. Unfortunately I was a bit disappointed. Whilst there is nothing wrong with the property itself, it’s just a bit tired now and really could do with a complete refresh. It’s got so much potential to be a 5* property but it’s not that today. So if you’re expecting luxury this isn’t it. That said Chris the owner is an absolute gent and very helpful. He allowed the kids full use of the gardens which they loved.
If you’re in a large party wanting somewhere to stay the night and be out during the day this works really well.

I struggled to find a suitable house for my extended family to stay in harmoniously (11 of us). This property was perfect for us, spacious, private and came with a hot tub!
We met up in Scotland for a private homage to our mother who has passed away a year earlier, she was born in the area and we wanted to bring her ashes back to Scotland.
Chris the host was so incredibly supportive and immediately understood our needs as a family, he went out of his way to organise a private scattering on the beautiful Loch Lomond.
We were greeted with smiles and a warm welcome (and amazing brownies) and then left in privacy with everything we needed to enjoy time together.
The attention to detail in even the pre visit pack helped us make the most of our weekend with whisky tasting, boat tours and restaurants.
Thank you for a great stay - this house does what it says it will, no surprises other than way above average customer service from the hosts!
Enjoy!

The boys (a group of 16) all had an incredible time and that was a lot to do with how great the accommodation is and how fantastic the hosts are. The hosts are available to answer any questions, provide suggestions and they made the whole experience thoroughly enjoyable. The accommodation is in a fantastic location and I would definitely recommend.

All of our guests for the Hen weekend made the weekend fun and the local cimmunity were really friendly. Unfortunately I had a few issues with the host, Chris. I had requested an early entry by 2 hours and in short was told yes for £50 payment as he had to arrange someone to be at the house. After a further 4 messages to Chris which were not answered I had to phone him and was reduced to tears by his hostility. He bumped up payment to £100 claiming I left it to last day to confirm this.
I had no option but to accept.
I was so upset my friend and her husband collected keys at the house and it was actually Chris who was there as he lived in property directly behind. We all
found Chris to be very intrusive, appearing in living area at times, in garden and at 10pm on Friday evening he appeared at the window and spoke when no-one could see him as it was pitch black outside.He was saying hot tub was not to be used at this time causing a few to get a fright.Chris apoeared next day just as we started playing games in the garden to 'check hot tub' and he told one of guests he was entitled to check the hot tub regularly and his property. The hot tub had 5 girls in it for about an hour on Sat morning before he checked it.
The house was left in the same way we found it .
We did live on our nerves a bit as we'd see him run up his garden and into garden of the property and appear in our company.
I would not hire the property again I'm afraid due to Chris' intrusion unfortunately.

We were a large group of friends and stayed 2 nights. The property was better than expected with a great kitchen/dining/lounge area. We enjoyed making use of the hot tub. Large garden. Easy to get into Glasgow via train-only a 5 minute walk to the station. Helpful, friendly hosts. Would recommend.

I booked Pleasant Hill for a Hen do, it was perfect for such a big number and we even were able to all fit around the kitchen table (17 of us) for dinner. Chris met us for an early check in and granted a late check out and was very helpful throughout our stay. The home made brownies were an extra treat! Thanks very much!

Pleasant Hill is a beautiful property up a short walk from the train station. Easy walk to Tesco and local shopping and food. The property was well maintained and clean/ready for us. We used Pleasant Hill as a central base which allowed us to do day trips to Glasgow, Edinburgh, and local castles. Chris was an amazing host! He got in contact early to make sure we would have everything we needed. He also let us make a grocery order that he unpacked for us the day before we arrived. We even had a problem with our train delaying our arrival and he offered to compensate the missed night by extending our stay. Milngavie is a beautiful town that feels like it’s straight out of a fantasy story. I absolutely recommend a stay at Pleasant Hill and hope to return myself in the future.

This villa us absolutely fabulous, only 4 of us stayed, which meant more than plenty of space for each of us, with our own added privacy.
Few minutes walk to supermarket, train station, shops, takeaways, coffee shops etc.
Big bedrooms and bathrooms
Lovely, huge back garden with tree house, where you can sit and take in the peace and quiet
What stood out was the fabulous 7 seater jacuzzi/hot tub, teenager and younger adult practically spent most of stay in the hot tub.. Lol 😆
I personally slept like a baby for 2 days, after returning home, following a few days in the jacuzzi, very relaxing 😎
Owners Chris and Frances are superb, welcoming hosts, with great communication and interactions.
Home made chocolate brownies were a nice welcoming touch and went down a treat 🍪 😋
Highly recommend this Villa and I'm sure I'll be back !
Thanks Chris/Frances 👍

Group os 11 of us stayed at Chris' property for two nights as part of a stag weekend in Scotland. We went canoeing in the Trossachs, about an hour north, shooting at Loch Lomond Shooting school 30-40 mins away and Chris arranged a discount for a distillery tour at Glengoyne. House was plenty big enough for us to entertain ourselves in the evenings and we particular enjoyed playing lawn games whilst BBQing (even in October). Chris is an attentive host and is on hand for anything you may need during your stay. We had an excellent time.

From the moment we booked the manager, Chris, was on hand we all the details we needed.
Our family group of 14 ranged in age from 1mnth to 53yrs.
There was plenty of room for us all and lots of outdoor space for the kids.
Everything we needed was available, Chris even supplied extra towels for the hot tub.
Location is perfect, plenty of days out just a short drive. Also a lovely restaurant 5mins walk and Tesco also just 5mins.
Thank you Chris for your help, we waited a long time for this family break and you helped make it the perfect weekend.
