“Very nice stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011

We only stayed Barrisdale for one night but surely return here when coming to Glasgow next time. The room was cosy and Ron's house peaceful. Delicious breakfast served to the room. We had interesting discussions with our host Ron. He was very helpful and gave us useful ideas.

Room Tip: There are only three rooms, so book well ahead.

“Wonderful!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011

My husband and I stayed at Barrisdale Guest House for 3 nights while we were in Glasgow. We had a fantastic stay and Ron is wonderful! When we arrived he gave us suggestions of things to see and do while we were in Glasgow. The house is so beautiful and has lots of character. Barrisdale Guest House is about a 10 minute train ride into Glasgow Central and you can either catch the train at Jordanhill or Hyndland which are just a few minutes from the house. Breakfast was great and we were able to enjoy it in our room. Our flight back home was early on the Sunday and Ron was so nice in bringing us our breakfast early and arranging a taxi to pick us up and take us to the airport. It was a great place to stay and Ron made it even more fantastic! Highly recommend Barrisdale Guest House if you are looking for a place to stay while in Glasgow.

“Very good”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 May 2011

Excellent - if only conventional hotels were as good as this first-rate B&B. Nice room, good breakfast. 5 mins on the train to city centre. What's not to like?

“Home away from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 February 2011

We spent a week in Glasgow and stayed at the Barrisdale. Could not have been in a better place. A bit out of downtown but in a great off-street location. A short walk to the bus or train station and either take you right into the city in a matter of minutes. Ron, our host, was outstanding. He provided us with a lovely continental breakfast (much better than most) and great tips and advice about the area and culture, which made our trip that much more enjoyable. We would definatley stay there again.

“Great value and charm in Glasgow.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2010

I definitely recommend staying in this B&B in Glasgow instead of a hotel in the city. This is a charming older building with very large rooms and high ceilings. The owner is very friendly and talkative and is quite helpful. The nearby pub serves good dinners for a very reasonable price. Free parking is available on the street. The continental breakfast was filling and was a nice change from all the Scottish fry breakfasts. The location is near a train station into the heart of Glasgow.
