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 Glasgowâs 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 Scotlandâs most beautiful mainland town centre and is one of Glasgowâs 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 Glasgowâs 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.

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! ;-)
Large group of us stayed here for a friendâs stag do and we all had a brilliant time. The villa was nice with plenty of room for everyone, the beds were comfortable, the garden was massive and the hot tub was amazing. The location was also spot on with loads of places to eat and drink in the town centre. There was also the option of going into Glasgow as the train station was only a short walk from the villa. Chris and Frances were excellent hosts and were always around if we needed anything. I would definitely recommend this villa to family and friends
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.
Daughter's Hen Weekend age range between 24 and 62.
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 ÂŁ50 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 ÂŁ100 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 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.
Really lovely weekend with a big group of friends. Couldn't have asked for a better location and property. Chris was a superb host, looked after us from the very beginning. Would definitely recommend.
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!
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.
We cane in tired and grumpy from London experiences and our host met us st the train station to help with our luggage. Iâm 76 and taking 13 people on a Uk tour. Mr Campbell made it all better! We were greeted with home made brownies, s hot tub, lots of yard and grass to play on and even used the trampoline next door.( the kids dod, not me) The shower was good, beds comfortable and atmosphere kitchen bright. Thank you Campbell family!
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 itâs straight out of a fantasy story. I absolutely recommend a stay at Pleasant Hill and hope to return myself in the future.
Property was excellent and catered for our Stag party needs. The property owner was extremely helpful and was at hand if we needed any local guidance or property issues.
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 đ
I personally slept like a baby for 2 days, after returning home, following a few days in the jacuzzi, very relaxing đ
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 đȘ đ
Highly recommend this Villa and I'm sure I'll be back !
Thanks Chris/Frances đ
We had a great experience at the property I was in a large group and there was plenty of space for us all. Chris was extremely helpful and the location is ideal. Would recommend very highly!
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.
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, itâs just a bit tired now and really could do with a complete refresh. Itâs got so much potential to be a 5* property but itâs not that today. So if youâre expecting luxury this isnât 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 youâre in a large party wanting somewhere to stay the night and be out during the day this works really well.
During covid, it's been a hard time for us all. Chris the owner has been really helpful and letting us change our dates - even offered to be in the house so we could get a food shop delivered before we arrived. Also gave us lots of information about surrounding area. Very happy.
This property has everything - lots of space, big garden, friendly ambience. Whatâs more you have spectacular scenery, fun days out and the bright lights of Glasgow all on the doorstep. The owner made every effort to ensure our stay was a success. Children and adults alike all had a terrific time. Thank you!
We have just rented this property for a family weekend with 12 adults, 9 children and 2 infants. The property couldnât have been more perfect. There was plenty of space and nothing felt cramped, including sleeping arrangements. The property was clean and tidy and had everything you could need. The host was very accommodating and incredibly helpful. Chris was on hand for any queries and was happy to help in any way he could. Location was ideal for local amenities, but the property was so relaxing we spent more time relaxing in the house than I would have imagined. I would highly recommend this property and I am very confident we will be using it again in the future.
