Pros
- Homey guesthouse with plenty of period charm

Bottom Line
The two-pearl Glasgow Guest House offers bed-and-breakfast-style accommodations in a quaintly traditional semi-detached house in the southwest suburbs of Glasgow. Some of the area's prettiest parkland is nearby, and the city center is easily reached by road or rail. Its seven rooms, which include a two-bedroom apartment with a full kitchen, are clean and well-presented, though those facing the busy road can be prone to noise. The free, full Scottish breakfast is a highlight, though it's the energetic and welcoming presence of the owner that really keeps guests returning. For a budget property that's a bit more central, travelers could try the Premier Inn Glasgow City Centre - George Square.

Quaint and homey bed and breakfast with lovely period touches and a warm welcome
Tucked behind a tall hedge with little signage to distinguish it as a bed and breakfast, Glasgow Guest House can be easy to miss. A small, wrought-iron gate opens to a tidy and secluded front garden with gravel-lined paths and neat plants and shrubbery. Stepping inside, guests would still be hard-pressed to tell it apart from a traditional family home -- patterned rugs, domestic furnishings, and textured wallpaper combine to create a genuinely homey ambience. Original, quaint stained-glass windows, pretty floor-tiling, and a carved-wood fireplace add period charm to the property, while owner John and right-hand man James provide guests with a warm welcome and a wealth of local knowledge.
Location
Close to Glasgow's prettiest green spaces and a 10-minute drive to the city center
The guest house is located on a fairly busy road in the largely leafy and residential Bellahouston area of Glasgow. It's about a 10-minute drive to the city center, or alternatively, guest can walk five minutes to Dumbreck train station, and it's two stops to Glasgow Central station. Two of the city's best green spaces -- Pollok Country Park and Bellahouston Park -- are within a short walk, with Pollock being home to the Burrell Collection and Haggs Castle Golf Club. Glasgow Airport is within a 10-minute drive.
Rooms
Clean and comfortable rooms with free Wi-Fi, though some receive traffic noise
The guesthouse has seven rooms and a two-bedroom apartment available. There's a choice of modern or traditional styling, though most rooms include a mix of both, and have antique furnishings. All rooms have en-suite bathrooms -- some are a bit small -- with shower stalls or open, wet-room style showers. In-room amenities include free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and tea- and coffee-making facilities. The apartment also includes an open-plan lounge, dining, and a fully equipped kitchen area. Rooms are all clean and pleasant, but those overlooking the road can be prone to traffic noise.
Features
Excellent full Scottish breakfast overlooking the garden
The excellent breakfast includes a full Scottish option that's served in the conservatory overlooking the garden. A kitchen is also available for guests' use throughout the day, and there's a cozy lounge or back garden, where guests can relax in warm weather. Although there's free Wi-Fi throughout, the signal is strongest in the lounge.
