We loved our time at Pleasant Hill. The house comfortably accommodated our group of 16 (including lots of kiddies). The garden space was glorious and the open plan kitchen living just made perfect sense for our group. I couldn’t recommend more. Thank you Chris and Frances! More...

Large group of us stayed here for a friends stag do and we all had a brilliant time. The villa was nice with plenty of room for everyone, the beds were comfortable, the garden was massive and the hot tub was amazing. The location was also spot on with loads of places to eat and drink in the town centre. There was also the option of going into Glasgow as the train station was only a short walk from the villa. Chris and Frances were excellent hosts and were always around if we needed anything. I would definitely recommend this villa to family and friends. More...

This was such an awesome place to stay for our experience in Scotland! Chris and Frances were incredible hosts! They were so accommodating, helpful, and supportive right from the start. We had the need to find a location for our luggage until the 4 pm check in and reached out to Chris to see if there was anyway we could leave luggage for 10 adults in an unobtrusive location until check in. He welcomed us graciously, volunteered to come get some of our luggage from the airport for us (we had enough it worked out better to get a large people carrier taxi and just fill it with luggage), helped us unload and stack the luggage, and then they carried the luggage inside while we were gone. And this was after he also told us he could try to let us check in early if we needed to (based on getting cleared up after the guests that left that morning).Chris was also extremely communicative throughout our entire stay, offering us advice on destinations and attractions, offering to help us get groceries to the home, transportation information, and absolutely anything else we needed. He and his wife were absolutely delightful and welcoming with every interaction. And the lodgings were beautiful and spacious for our group. The games on hand to play during inclement weather (or a down evening) were a delight.They also have very clear directions and guidelines on house rules and use that are helpful and not unreasonable. Their welcome manual is full of all the necessary information for a comfortable stay. And for our checkout, they volunteered to drive my parents to the bus stop early in the morning of our checkout. I truly have never experienced the level of accommodation that Chris and Francine offered! Thank you!Edit: I want to add another note. When we had a snafu with the taxi we ordered, Chris not only showed up to help load, but immediately offered again to take my parents and the remaining luggage to the bus stop for us. Thank you again Chris for a wonderful experience! More...

This is a great place to stay. The host is amazing!!! He is very attentive and went over and above to make us feel welcome. If you are staying in this area this is the place for you! The town is lovely the trail is amazing and access to the area is pretty easy via train. We enjoyed the eateries especially WuTangs, we ate there twice and both times were amazing. My only complaint is that the sitting area did not accommodate our family for the evening gatherings. The couch is not comfortable but considering that we were out seeing the sites most of the time it was not that big of a deal. The hill leading up to the house gets the heart pumping but is not an issue. Soaking in the hot tub helped alleviate that each night. I will definitely return to Scotland and Milngavie again.

If you need somewhere to cater for a bigger group - Look no further and book here, the house and gardens are outstanding (with a hot tub) and the assistance and organisation from Chris was like I’ve never experienced, everything you need to help have a fantastic weekend the hosts will help with (even using their Tesco account for free delivery to order food and drinks before coming, which Chris stocked for us so the beers were cold when we got there! ).The train to get into Glasgow central was also super easy, so there’s no problem with transport links. Make this your next place to visit. More...

The weekend at Chris's house was perfect from start to finish. We were a big group of 17 of us, and the house was a perfect size to accommodate us all. We were greeted with brownies and bottles of beer, everything was in immaculate condition and we particularly enjoyed the garden & hot tub. Chris's communication was spot on from start to finish, he could not have been more accommodating and I couldn't recommend the place highly enough. Thanks Chris! More...

Would give this place 6 stars if it was possible! Stayed for a stag party for a long weekend and it was the perfect place for a big group (17). Chris’ communication was extremely helpful and timely and he could not do enough for us - he gave golf recommendations, the fridge was stocked with beer on arrival and he’d even sorted us 20% off our food bill at the local sports bar (fullbacks - highly recommend). We utilised the hot tub and garden games on day 1 before heading into the city that evening by train (5 minute walk). Chris had then put us in touch with cafe alba who brought us full Scottish breakfasts to the house the next morning. The town of milngavie was the perfect location to explore Glasgow from and pleasant hill / Chris were the perfect hosts. Could not recommend more highly. Thanks Chris More...

Party central! - great house and garden amenities. Hot tub/jacuzzi is great. Place is nice and clean, great location with easy train access to central Glasgow and 5 mins walk from Milngavie. Big Tesco nearby or M&S food hall and Waitrose if you are posh. Only minor thing is that there is very little on site parking (4 cars at a push) but some people parked over the road and it was fine.

We booked this accomodation for my sister's hen do and it was an excellent base for us. We arrived on Friday and left on Sunday and the accomodation was perfectly provided with necessities such as towels, kitchen utensils, plenty of glassware etc. We were a group of 14 and there was plenty of dishes and glasses for us.The living space on the kitchen/Livingroom is great for large group. There is loads of seating options, and space to congregate. There are also plenty of bedrooms to accommodate large groups.The hot tub was a lovely addition to the weekend for us and looked over some beautiful views and was great fun on the Friday night, and lovely to relax in and nurse a sore head on Saturday morning!The location was perfect and there was a supermarket close by. We had some plans in Glasgow and planned to use the train station which is located very close by. Less than a 5 minute walk and all down hill too!The real diamond part was the hosts. Chris and Frances were truly lovely. They arrived to let in the first two people in our party, and came back to speak to the lead guest when we arrived and kindly took some group photos for us too. There was a small problem with the fire alarms beeping but we called Chris who arrived almost instantly and replaced all of the alarms and we had no further issues. Job done in 5 minutes! We had a great stay and felt really comfortable that we could call the hosts at any given time if required. Thank you so much for an excellent stay!If you are considering booking this accomodation then please do, you won't be disappointed! More...

Milngavie! What an incredible trip to a beautiful place. Our host, Chris, went above and beyond to cater for our needs before (and after! ) our visit. Pleasant Hill, what can i say. A wonderful house with great views surrounding. An especially good view whilst sat in the hot tub! All the usual things you would expect from a 5* booking were all there (clean beds, clean towels, clean house) however ontop of all that we had Chris put all of our shopping order away (which we ordered to his house the day before) Chris has all the hot tub ready etc and he had stayed personally to greet us all separately - a wonderful touch to an area non of us had been! Milngavie is full of amazing places to see and activities to do. We already had a pre list of excursions (sent to us by Chris beforehand) so everything was planned and ready. One place of Chris’ list that is particularly interesting was Mugdock Visitors Centre, a must visit for any group! Once we got to our final day, Chris came along and helped with our tidying and packing (even found a few things we had left behind!)Honestly, we all had such an amazing time and we put half of it all down to our host. Thank you for everything! I fully recommend Pleasant Hill to anybody looking for an incredible stay in Scotland. Thanks again, Chris! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ More...

Pleasant Hill is a charming, well-located and comfortable bolt-hole for trips in and around Glasgow, and for anybody looking to go further afield into the nearby mountains. Chris (the host) is friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the local area and really couldn’t do enough to help us. He went beyond the call of duty for us during our stay and we really couldn’t have asked for a more accommodating host. Prior to arrival, Chris had been kind enough to give us the details of the local supermarket delivery which he kindly took delivery of and unpacked for us so our items were ready and waiting upon our arrival. Upon arrival, we were greeted with homemade cakes which were delicious and very welcome after a long day of travelling! The house itself is clean and well-resourced with plenty of garden games and activities for children, plus the ample hot tub that was serviced twice-a-day. The hosts even provided separate ‘tub towels’; they really did think of everything! Milngavie itself has a lovely village-like feel and has many independent shops and bakeries (we recommend the Honeybee at the bottom of the hill) and there are also larger supermarket stores within a short walk. Overall, a great house in a super location with an outstanding host. Thanks so much Chris and Frances! More...

Can’t say how perfect my stag weekend was. Chris [one of the hosts] was the man and made my weekend so special. Thanks are also due for going out of their way to find my brother’s walking cane (left at local train station) - it meant so much to him as that was the official stag stick. Everyone in the group is still raving about how good a weekend it was. I can’t thank the hosts enough for their patience, kindness and thoughtfulness. Even my fiancé was so grateful and couldn’t believe how kind they’d been. I wish Pleasant Hill the very best. Thanks so much ❤ More...

Our group of families and friends had the pleasure of staying 7 days in Pleasant Hill, Milngavie. Chris was an awesome host who provided us with lots of helpful information even before our stay and equipped some rooms with extra beds according to our needs. Chris also helped us to retrieve a document we lost at a previous Airbnb. The house itself was fabulous, very well equipped for a large group of people. Although we were 22, we never ran out of cutlery or dishes, there were more than enough towels and even extra towels for using the hot tub. Chris also provides Tesco club cards for guests that are helpful when shopping. We used the barbecue and the hot tub which was really a luxury! It was also very easy to get into Glasgow as Milngavie station is in 5 Minutes walking distance. There’s a Tesco superstore also in walking distance and some very good takeaways and bakeries. We can fully recommend Pleasant Hill to other guests, especially large groups. More...
