Self-catering apartments in Glasgow

Glasgow is friendly, creative and generous, a city of music, galleries and long dinners. Our flats sit in its two best bases for a stay: the West End, for its cafés, bars and parks, and the riverside near the OVO Hydro, for gig nights and easy access to the centre.

Each flat is yours alone, with a full kitchen and space to spread out. There's a one-bedroom for couples, a two-bedroom on Byres Road, and a three-bedroom, three-bathroom flat that's ideal for groups heading to a show.

City Centre & the OVO Hydro

Walk home after the encore.

The OVO Hydro and the SEC sit side by side on the north bank of the Clyde, and between them host most of Glasgow's big concerts, comedy nights and sporting events. Staying nearby means no hunt for a taxi when the crowds spill out.

On quieter days, the riverside is good for walking, the restaurants and bars of Finnieston are close, and the shops of the city centre are a short trip east. With a car, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs are about a 30-minute drive.

Hillhead & the West End

Red sandstone, cobbled lanes and very good coffee.

Hillhead is the heart of Glasgow's West End: red sandstone tenements, the University of Glasgow's Gothic tower on the hill, and Byres Road, a long street of cafés, delis, bars and restaurants. Just off it, cobbled Ashton Lane is strung with lights and lined with bars and a cinema.

The Botanic Gardens and their glasshouses sit at the top of Byres Road, and Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is a stroll through the park. Hillhead subway station puts the city centre about eight minutes away.
