Apartment rental in Glasgow

[JumpJockey]

Does anyone have any experience of apartments in Glasgow? We're going up to see the ILs between Christmas and NY and all the places I've looked at on the web look very 'corporate' (ie unlikely to be suitable for toddler - glass tables etc). Any recommendations gratefully received!

have you tried owners direct? Or Holiday rentals? Or even the visit scotland website. They have self catering too.

I'd tried VRBO but they have no Glasgow listings, will take a look at owners direct, the visit scotland website didn't seem to have that many places (though I could be searching wrong! Thanks :)

I think most of the apartments are aimed at the corporate market.
Fraser Suites is the only one I can think of

I know someone who works at an apartment type place. I'll ask her.

Some friends of mine have stayed at White House apartments with children, and we also stayed in one of theirs with our two when our house had builders in. Some of them are lovely, and they were fine with children. Theirs was a sort of mews cottage behind the main building on the home page here - lovely, and ours was in a modern block, which was fine, but a bit of a schlep to the main places you might be going, but had off street parking and so on.

The same friends also stayed in an apartment at the youth hostel another time - separate from the hostel itself, but v central, near Kelvingrove Park. It was big, and cheap, but pretty basic. But therefore nothing to break. Also there's a bar you can use.

Visit Scotland doesn't have many because there aren't too many private holiday rentals in the city centre. There are a few though, so it is worth going through them all.

Don't discount ones that may be outwith the centre, Southside etc. Glasgow is a very easy city to get around - it has a great suburban train network and driving around is easy too.

For serviced apartments look in laterooms.com under apartments and that should give you ones to contact too.

Thanks - the White House ones look lovely :) Will try laterooms as well, hadn't thought of them as a source of info.

Thanks all :)

Have a look here. Looks like that web-site would give you a lot of choice.

With regard to your concerns re glass coffee tables etc: if these are being retned out, they would have to esnure that any glass at that sort of level was toughened glass. You could always also ring and ask for details and/or for them to remove things like that.
