Stunning private house, with 4 quadruple, 1 double and 1 twin bedrooms plus 3 bathrooms. The spacious living-reception area regularly used as large communal area for entertainment. The property is centrally heated and will create a 'home-from-home'.

Extensive private garden provides ample space for exercising or outdoor games whilst meals are being prepared on the gas BBQ. Office/home-working area, Smart TV, high-speed wi-fi and other online entertainment available along with board games & childrens' toys laid on in case of less favourable weather.

Striking new contemporary kitchen-diner with fabulous triple-aspect views and direct access via wide timber deck to garden via French doors. The property occupies an elevated position which affords magnificent south-westerly views with fabulous sunsets to see. It is set in a quiet, residential 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 West Highland Way + Forth-Clyde Canal provide easy cycle tracks within easy reach.

Accessibility. 2 routes to entrance - one avoids kerbs, steps & stairs. Portable wheelchair ramps on site.

Located in a luxury garden suburb, 15 minutes from Glasgow city centre. Off-street parking for 5 cars behind solid privacy gates. [Ample free on-street parking also.] 1 minute walk to an abundance of local amenities including independent shops: crafts, delis & grocery stores all within the traffic-free village centre. The high quality living space makes it ideal for entertaining or family gathering events, plus home-working visitors can make use of the office work area with free high-speed internet access. Guests are often rewarded with stunning panoramic vistas over nearby hills and countryside. 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) the Kelvingrove Galleries, Botanic Gardens or Transport Museum and copious clubs/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 helped make Glasgow into this city of culture and architecture.

Milngavie has been 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 village is well regarded for its situation on the edge of the beautiful Mugdock Country Park with the West Highland Way starting close by. With proximity to stunning scenery all around, 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 retailers, restaurants and pleasant inns. In addition, it has fantastic facilities that include grocery supermarkets, leisure and sports centres, golf courses, cinema complexes. The town 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.

Guests can simply arrive, relax and unwind in the spacious living areas, comprising a custom-made kitchen featuring solid oakwood finishings and modern kitchen appliances to prepare scrumptious baking or dining foods. 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 and evening meals - whilst you enjoy the vast range of nearby activities, amenities, bars & coffee shops - all within walking distance.

Please note. Requests for discounts are treated seriously provided the proportion being sought is both sensible and has regard to the calibre of property on offer. Enquirers may prefer to recognise that other hosts place a higher priority on filling their calendar whereas we prefer to sustain quality of the villa and quality of our guests' enjoyment.

Interaction with guest

Your hosts - awarded Certificates of Excellence - live next door and can easily arrange handovers, give advice and have regularly added support in the event of emergencies. Apart from their virtual Concierge service, increasingly their planning assistance is used to help organise advance grocery deliveries, catering, event or activity bookings, including local service procurement such as floral bouquets, wedding cake and marquee hire. For Babies-Toddlers, we will provide travel cots, high chairs, stair gates, games and toys, etc. Purely FYI, like most establishments we consider all children under 2 years occupaying a travel cot are infants. Beyond that age, we will make up beds and therefore consider 2 year-olds equal to all other guests.

Large comfortable house, close to local amenities

Pleasant Hill is a large house, which has lots of character and feels homely. The garden makes it feel like the house is in the middle of nowhere when in reality it is a 2 minute walk away from Milnga… More

Response from the owner
A sheer delight. Gill and her friends were tremendous, courteous and highly respectful. They seemed intent on making sure they had a memorable time - we're only sorry we didn't get to witness the inflatable football darts amongst the many other active sports competitions they played in the garden area - whilst leaving Pleasant Hill in a very neat and tidy condition. Although we had been badly let down by the Norwich-based hot tub supplier, Gill seemed to appreciate that we had instead hired and installed an alternative hot tub in order to honour our commitment for this. A happy time and a happy outcome. Haste ye back. Chris

Response from the owner
Our heartfelt thanks for such kind and courteous words and the many other displays of appreciation during the ‘lifetime’ of this booking. Whilst Pleasant Hill is ideally set up to accommodate larger groups, that inevitably places a greater responsibility on the principal guest to proverbially ‘herd kittens’ - especially since everyone wants everything to be right for wedding-related events. The flip-flopping of government guidelines has caused extra hurdles and enormous anxiety for so many guests, and we have considered it our duty to work out alternatives which work well for both guests and ourselves. As a result, we are so much looking forward to finally welcoming this group. Céad Míle Fáilte, Chris
