The Property. Stunning large garden villa in a beautiful area comprising reception hall, lounge/sitting room, home office/working area, six standard bedrooms plus two further bedroom areas, double-basin master bathroom plus two shower rooms with basins plus WCs (three bathrooms in all). [ie. 4 quadruple/family rooms, 1 twin, 1 double plus two further areas with double sofabeds.] All rooms and lounges are spacious enough for flexibility in accommodating extra children, with additional folding beds, or re-configuring as second lounges. The villa has comfortably accommodated 26 overnight guests with ample space for up to 60 daytime guests. All rooms and lounges are spacious enough for flexibility in arranging accommodation (incl. extra folding beds). Bedding and towels are provided for all guests, with mid-week changes of bath linen during longer stays.

Amenities include full central heating throughout, instant hot water, double glazing, real log/coal fire (making evenings more cosy), good quality beds, 60" Smart TV (including DVD & Freeview), range double-oven cooker and hob, extraction hood, grill, combination microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and washing machine. High speed WIFI internet access complements the office/home-working area upstairs. The high-walled ultra-private mature garden features a 7-person hot tub, 14’ trampoline, children's treehouse and gas BBQ (small extra charge) providing a wide area for exercising, outdoor games or running around, perhaps whilst meals are being prepared on the BBQ. Garden games are available and other entertainment such as board games can be laid on in case of less favourable weather. {For the avoidance of doubt, there is a 7-person heated tub pool - NOT a swimming pool - for the private use of guests, and its usage will be subject to specific safety rules.}

Situation. This is an impressive, fresh and beautifully designed detached villa in a superior residential area over two floor levels, comprising contemporary décor with wooden floors and modern bathroom facilities. The property occupies an elevated position which affords magnificent south and westerly views with fabulous sunsets to enjoy. Guests are often rewarded with stunning panoramic vistas over nearby hills and countryside. Its new contemporary kitchen-dining-reception area is wonderfully bright with fabulous triple-aspect views and direct access via French doors and wide timber deck to the extensive garden area. Overall, there is a substantial area for both eating and seating with open-vaulted cathedral ceilings, well appointed appliances and ample solid oak traditional units throughout for all your cooking, baking and dining needs. The interior areas comprise reception hall, sitting room, home office/working/computer-study area, family bathroom with airing cupboard, plus two shower rooms with WCs. The house includes utility/laundry room with fitted washing facilities, single garage plus roof terrace above and plenty of fitted wardrobes / cupboards providing ample storage facilities. There is also ample off- and on-street parking (free).

Accessibility. There are 2 routes to access the property - one avoids kerbs, steps & stairs. Portable wheelchair ramps are on site and can easily be lifted / moved to anywhere within the property. [Can even be used to assist moving wheelchairs into/out of vehicles.]

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!

Family Gatherings
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!

Family Stay
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 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.

Perfect stay!
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!

Beautiful stay, short train to Glasgow!
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.
