Description

This is an exquisite double height apartment in a historic sandstone building in Glasgow City centre overlooking Glasgow Green. The building was built in 1856 as the premises of Robert Ramsey and Company who were dealers in hides, skins, wool and tallow and following this its main function was as a venue for auction sales.

It was lovingly converted into luxury apartments between 1998 and 2000. It resides beside the 18th century church of St Andrew by the Green. Charles Rennie Mackintosh's handwriting appears on one of the original drawings for the building showing his early involvement in building design in Glasgow.

The apartment has been furnished to a high standard and comprises 3 bedrooms, a lounge/dining room, kitchen and two bathrooms.

The bedrooms are arranged as follows: Master Bedroom: Double bed with additional single sofa bed. Second Bedroom: Two single beds. Third Bedroom: Double bed. There is also a cot for a small child. The apartment can therefore sleep 7 people and a baby.

There are two contemporary bathrooms. The first has a bath with shower over, WC and basin and the second has a shower cubical, WC and Basin.

The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need including pantry items which are free for you to use. There is also a dishwasher, microwave and washing machine. The hallway houses a pulley up hanging rail for drying clothes to keep them out of the way.

The apartment has full central heating, free Wi-Fi, a TV with free view channels, a DVD player with DVDs, a CD player with radio and Auxiliary cable for attaching your own i-Pod. There are also books and games for all ages. The walls are thick sandstone and as such hold heat well inside the apartment.

Also in the lounge you have two large comfy sofas and a dining table for 6 guests with a highchair. There is also a bath bath and sink step for children plus children's knives, forks, plates, bowls and cups.

To the rear of the building you also have your own private parking space for the apartment with locking bar making it easy to come and go as you please and avoid the expensive private parking for this area.

The lounge and master bedroom have double height feature windows overlooking the park which are characteristic of the era in Glasgow. And there are beautiful tall ceilings throughout the apartment with a feature pillar and beam in the lounge. The building is iconic in Glasgow.

Glasgow Green is the main park for Glasgow City which was originally established in the 15th century and is the oldest park in Glasgow. It is used for the major events in Glasgow such as the Highland Games, Festivals and major music concerts etc. The park draws a wide audience and Glagsow Tour buses route through the park to showcase the People's Palace and an ornate terracotta fountain which is the largest and best example of its kind in the world. The People's Palace houses botanical and tropical plants and is free to enter. There is also a popular café inside.

There is also a German beer hall on Glasgow Green which brews on-site.

There is a great children's play area opposite the apartment on Glasgow Green and further along the park there is another Child's Play Village.

From the apartment it's just a short walk around the corner to St Andrews Square and then, a further 150 meters along (2 min walk), you are at the vibrant Merchant City with its mixture of trendy and refined bars and restaurants and theatre. And if you want to experience a real old fashioned Glasgow pub then there are plenty to visit within 200 meters of the apartment. The famous Scotia Bar is 300 meters away - don't be put off by the exterior, it's worth a visit.

It's a 5 min walk to the start of the main shopping area in Glasgow (Argyle Street) and the recently renovated St.Enoch shopping centre. You can walk to the Royal Concert Hall in 15 mins. To reach the West End there is an easy underground system you can use. For the trains you are within easy walking distance to Queen St Station on George Square and Central Station. A taxi to the apartment from either station will cost around £ 4.50.

This is a great apartment in a great central location in Glasgow City Centre.

The holiday let arrangement has a minimum duration of 90 days set at a weekly value. Perfect for those visiting the city for a short period wanting a home away from home for leisure or work purposes. The rate includes energy use under an acceptable use policy, water, council tax, super-fast Wi-Fi, TV licence and a 4-weekly clean. Perfect for a family or those visiting the city for an extended period wanting a home away from home without the fuss of setting up contracts with suppliers.

Please note that you need to be 25 years or older to book and that the property is intended for use by professionals staying in Glasgow for work contracts. All reservation requests will need to be reviewed for approval in order to avoid large gaps in the calendar.

The apartment was easy to check into and the location was fantastic. The list of restaurants and bars was amazing too (provided by the landlord) and really helped on our stay.

Family birthday celebration plus a charity ball meant a very busy weekend in Glasgow! The apartment was very easy to find and we were met as arranged and shown everything we needed to know about. Most comfortable beds and very efficient heating! A very well equipped kitchen too. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay - thank you!

Great location, warm, clean, comfortable, well-equipped, good wi-fi. Kids loved playpark opposite, Netflix and games. Coffee, tea etc provided. We had two small kids with us so table in lounge with loose glass top worried us. Couple other maintenance issues but nothing major.

Great location overlooking Glasgow green

Apartment was bright and spacious with lots of room for all our party. we were in Glasgow for a swimming competition so the kitchen and dining area were very useful. the parking space could be better sign posted as we did have some confusion locating which space we could use, however , some friendly locals came to our assistance. Beds are comfy and having 2 bathrooms was really helpful getting everyone ready and out every morning.

Cyndie Hunter   Aug 2019

The location was ideal for us. We were able to walk to the wedding and the park across the street has something for everyone.

Liz   Aug 2019
Our experience in Glasgow was great, the apartment was well located, in front of the playground, people's palace and not far from the center of the city. Sightseeing bus stop is nearby as well. I highly recommend the place for family vacations.

We loved the apartment - perfect placement, comfy beds and a Nice apartment. Would definetely live here again.

Anette   Jun 2019

We stayed 4 nights, and the apartment was perfect for our party of five people. It's a great location-walkable to most everything-and the apartment contained all that we needed for the stay.

Karen   May 2019

It's a nice and cozy apartment right in front of the Glasgow green park, with a nice playground for kids. It's not to fare from the city center (20m walk or with the Simplicity bus 2 10m). And enough space for 6 people (including one child).

Very lovely and stylish place located in a great location to enjoy any activities at Glasgow Green.

 

Kittikun   Nov 2018
This stylish 3 bedroom apartment is in a perfect location for visiting Glasgow. We were 3 generations of our family and the playpark is literally opposite the apartment in Glasgow Green. We were able to meet other relatives travelling at the nearby People's palace. We explored Glasgow from the tour bus which stops only a 5 minute walk away and also explored by foot. Minor things for review are the toilet seat in main bathroom is lose, and the bedside tables in the master bedroom are insecure. All in all I would highly recommend. This property and would definitely go back.

Spacious apartment opposite a beautiful park and walking distance to all facilities.

 

Julie   Oct 2018
This Flat is in a lovely location, a quick jaunt to the Peoples palace. The front overlooks the park where family and pet friendly events seem to happen quite often. It is a quick 8-10 minute walk to the tourist areas around Central Station - but also close to a lot of great pubs and restaurants - slightly away from the tourist trap areas. Shopping mall also handy and close by with a full size Tesco and a boots for all your needs. Easy access to the tube or train or HOHO bus. Lots of dishes, cutlery, pots and pans for use. Hairdryer. Towels for use and laundry facility - love the hanging rack; very handy. Comfy beds, pillows a bit puffy - but that's a personal preference i'm used to. Lovely high ceilings, and lots of space for a family group - the bluetooth speaker came in handy. Internet worked well. We were 5 people and had ample room to function in and a Large common space to end a long day of touring around and visiting. There are some basic maintenance repair issues I've addressed with the agency directly, I'm hoping they do fix these in quick time . The issue I had with the property that can't be quickly addressed are the squeaky floors - they are very squeaky, ear plugs recommended if you are a light sleeper. Otherwise a great convenient place to hang your hat at the end of the day.

Gostamos muito!
A localização é ótima! A cozinha está super bem equipada - até tem algumas das coisas que são necessárias para uma curta estadia: sal, azeite, chá,... As telecomunicações funcionam maravilhosamente (internet e TV) A comunicação de/com os anfitriões que começaram logo que a reserva foi feita.

 

Alberto   Sep 2018
We were attending an event on Glasgow green so the location was perfect. The house was clean, and there were plenty towels and bedding. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, plates, cups etc. Bedrooms were a good size. There was no wardrobe in one of the bedrooms only coat hooks on the back of the door but this wasn't a huge problem.
Kenny   Aug 2018
A short walk to the city center in one direction, and just across the street from Glasgow Green. We loved our stay in Glasgow, and found this flat quite comfortable for our family of seven. (It would, needless to say, be more comfortable for a smaller family!) Massively high ceilings!
Stuart   Jul 2018
The location was excellent a park across the road for the grandkids lovely apartment self contained with all our needs made our visit from Australia memorable Easy access to Glasgow centrals wide range of shops so we spent a lot on souvenirs
Edith   May 2018
There were 5 of us staying in the property and there was plenty room for us all, also having 2 bathrooms was great for getting ready.
Yvonne   Apr 2018
We were on a short family holiday to Glasgow - 5 adults - and this was just the accommodation we needed: 3 double bedrooms; 2 very modern bath / shower rooms and suitable kitchen and sitting room; friendly welcome there prompt to meet us; pleasant outlook to park across the road; and brilliantly located for short walk into city centre; P.S there's an interesting german style craft brewery and restaurant in an amazing former factory building just at the other, Eastern end of the park.
Christopher   Apr 2018
We were happy with it would stay again
It was clean warm and comfortable had all we needed for our stay Entrance didn’t look great
Teresa   Mar 2018
Lovely apartment in a historic building with all the amenities you could need. Great location a 10 minute walk from the city centre.
  Mar 2018
We visited Glasgow to see gigs at the Celtic connections festival. The apartment is huge and all 6 of us had enough space. There are two modern bathrooms, one with tube and the other with shower which is great for a large groups of travelers as we were. The apartment was tidy and we could use all the equipment: the kitchen is fully functional and there is also a washing machine. There are 3 bedrooms with different bed configurations and a living room where we spent our mornings and evenings. We were warmly welcomed by the host when we arrived and the communication with them was excellent all the time. We also got a list with tips of where to eat and what to see. The apartment is just outside of Glasgow green and it takes 10 minutes walk to the Merchant city, 20 minutes walk to Buchanan bus station or the Drygate brewery. We enjoyed our stay.
Adam   Feb 2018
Comfortable & cosy, perfectly placed for our needs.
The agents for the property were in contact with us as we travelled up & there outside when we arrived so we had no waiting around. The apartment was very nice, lovely & warm and easy to manage. There was tea, coffee and fresh milk waiting for us on arrival which was very welcome. The apartment was located just opposite Glasgow Green, very close to the People's Palace, and a very easy walk into the city centre and all the places we needed to get to, including Parkhead, which was the purpose of our visit, so the location was ideal.

Roomy and comfortable
Good position and very walkable to town with a lovely outlook over the park at the front. The owner and management team were very prompt and helpful. There were 4 of us staying but there were 7 of us visiting the city and they all came back to the apartment several times and we were all able to sit around and talk and relax without it being cramped. We all had a great stay in nice location and in a great city.

Great apartment, location on ground floor ideal for older visitors.
Location, Closeness to all areas. Speed of arrival and friendliness of supervisor Toilet seat loose, Entrance matt may be a trip hazard

Apartment was cute and accommodated our whole family. There were two or three lights out in the bathroom with the washer/dryer which made it very difficult to see. It made it a very dim setting.
Tiffany V   Aug 2017
Good location. Next to the nice park. Good for family. Flexible check-in arrangement given.

Terracotta on the green
The location was ideal, especially with those travelers with families. We were right on the green, with two playgrounds nearby. The Glasgow City Sightseeing Tour bus stops nearby (near the People's Palace), so it's easy to catch to hop on and off around the city. Surprisingly quiet location (even though you're on a road, it doesn't feel like it), comfortable beds, nice apartment facilities, beautiful old building. Also close to two good restaurants...West and Cafe Source in St. Andrews in the Square. 10-minute walk to mall, which has a Tescos for any groceries you might want or for currency exchange. We really liked it here and were sad to leave. Definitely would come back.
Kristina   Jul 2017
Fantastic location! Being adjacent to Glasgow Green is a treat in itself, especially if you have younger kids; one playground for littler ones right across, and an AMAZING playground with towering slides, zipline and a dogpark about 3/4 mile easy walk further into the green. Lots of eateries and grocery shops nearby, and of course, the beautiful river & bridges are right there. The apartment was exactly as pictured & described. WIFI and Netflix were great to have for teens at the end of a day of touring Glasgow. Property access team were fantastic about checking in.
Lisa   Jul 2017
Great location!
Five of us enjoyed staying at this property next to Glasgow Green. The unit has beautiful large rooms with high ceilings. Great location within walking distance of the centre of Glasgow. The only complaint was that the floors were very squeaky! Paula was very helpful, meeting us at the property upon arrival and reviewing what we needed to know about parking, using the appliances etc.
Donna N.   Jun 2017
Relaxed and well organised host. Great apartment
Will   May 2017
Perfect family accommodation
We had a lovely stay, comfortable beds, great location, the playground across the road was ideal for the kids and the apartment provided for them as well with highchairs, cots and other kids friendly items. It was our first visit to Glasgow and we had a wonderful time, the weather and the apartment both couldn't have been better.

Great place to stay for a family and friends. Kitchen amenities superb. Apartment well maintained. Our daughters loved the fact there were a few toys left in the apartment they could play with!

Great location, parking, good wifi, clean
Flat was in a perfect location for walking to downtown. It also had off street parking and a good location to jump in your car and explore further afield. Unit was clean and had fast wifi. It quiet for 95% of the time and we slept great. On our last night there, a Friday night, another flat in the building was having a wee party and that kept us awake until midnight or later, but this can happen in any flat anywhere in the town, so I can't fault this flat in particular. It's just something to be aware of possibly happening when staying this close to the city center. There was a rotating table fan that I was able to plug in and the white noise from the fan easily cancelled out the party nearby. So overall I would recommend staying here.
Robert S.   Oct 2016
Excellent location and property site.
The property was clean and well-maintained. Across the street is the Glasgow Green, a nice park area. We found everything within walking distance, or close to the public transportation. The owner provided timely and informative service. The manager waited for our arrival and at the residence, the support in guiding us about the place was greatly appreciated. We would highly recommend this site to anyone. My Response

Apartment met all our needs
The apartment was ideal, the location was central and within easy walking distance for the centre of Glasgow with access to the subway or buses. The apartment is very clean and very well equipped and quiet. The customer service was excellent and we were met at the apartment and shown to the parking area which is secure around the back of the building.
Marion D.   Jun 2016
Great sized apartment in the heart of Glasgow
The apartment itself was fantastic. Brilliantly located with (almost) everything myself, my husband and our 3 teenaged children needed. However, I was much less impressed by the agents we went through to access the property. They were clearly unfamiliar with the property and Gerry was completely surprised when I rang and told him we were in Glasgow waiting to get in to the property. There was a lot of food in the kitchen which we had no idea about - were we allowed to use it etc. . . so not knowing we didn't. The WIFI didn't work. There was nothing about Glasgow in the apartment - no brochures, maps - nothing. From the agents point of view they were useless but the apartment itself was fantastic.

Great Apartment, Great Location,
The apartment was in a great location, as our son (3 yrs) really enjoyed the Play Park, which is directly outside the apartment on the green, and we found a second 5 min walk, which is well suited to older children and also peddle cars etc. the peoples palace, is also a short walk, with a great Glasgow Museum, coffees shop, and garden. I enjoyed being able to take my morning run in the green and along the Clyde river on the shared cycle / walking path, in the weekends the river is a fantastic place to run, as there are other runners, and Rowers out. It was also great being able to walk into town, great restaurants within short walk. We also attended a concert at the SSE Hydro, and after the concert, as Taxis were in short supply, so it was easy enough to walk back to the apartment after. Also great amenities, in the Apartment, with ample cutlery and crockery + dishwasher for 4 adults + children. also the Central heating was excellent, a warm and comfortable place to come back to at the end of the busy day.
