[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.

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.}

The property occupies an elevated position which affords magnificent south and westerly views with fabulous sunsets to enjoy.

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.

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 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.

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!

About the host

Hosted by CHRIS CAMPBELL

Host profile image
The family built this villa within the garden grounds of the 200 year-old main house, and family members have lived here for >50 years.

Over the past decade, 'Pleasant Hill Scotland' has hosted well over 2,500 guests - primarily family & friends gatherings (including multiple Scotland 'homecomings'), weddings and milestone celebrations as well as reunions (incl. respectful hen and stag groups)! With over 250 five-star reviews, so many guests have now become repeat visitors.

Do just keep in mind that a property of this scale best suits larger groups and those who prefer to stay for long enough to appreciate the area. Requests for last-minute discounts are treated cordially provided the proportion being sought is both sensible and has regard to the calibre of property on offer, length of stay and seasonal demand. 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, respect for neighbourhood and depth of our guests' enjoyment.

[Purely FYI, like most establishments we consider all children under 2 are infants, occupying a travel cot. Beyond the second birthday, in common with airlines, we will be making up full beds and therefore consider them equal to adult guests.]

Why they chose this property

Tucked away behind high stone privacy walls and camouflaged by mature high trees, but less than a hundred metres from the charming pedestrian-only village centre of Milngavie, this villa occupies an elevated position which affords magnificent south-westerly views with fabulous sunsets to see. It is set in a superior quiet neighbourhood and benefits from those high-walled perimeters, which afford 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.

Milngavie is one of Glasgow’s most sought-after semi-rural areas with easy access to both city centre and contrasting rural escapes. [No long drive into the countryside.] The village is situated on the edge of the beautiful Mugdock Country Park and marks the start of the West Highland Way. 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/artisan shops, banks and major retailers such as M&S, Tesco and Waitrose. In addition, it has easy access to leisure amenities that include sports centres, golf courses, cinema complexes, as well as Glasgow’s many renowned concert, conference 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 also well serviced by two local airports. Edinburgh is less than an hour’s drive, although many articles have written: “Edinburgh may only be 50 miles from Glasgow, but Glasgow is a million miles from Edinburgh!”

What makes this property unique

Ultra private stunning property;
Extensive private garden in superior quiet area;
Lovely village atmosphere (coupled with the start of the West Highland Way);
Easy & beautiful walks to (and around) Milngavie Reservoir + Mugdock Country Park;
Fabulously swift transport links (eg. 4 trains every hour into Glasgow's amenities + direct trains to Edinburgh from Milngavie station - 4 minutes' walk away);
Roughly 20-30 minutes into city centre (or to the airport) by car/train;
Glasgow's many cultural venues, clubs, concerts and conference events are easily accessible, as is access to Loch Lomond, multiple distilleries and many historic sights.
