Interaction with guests

Both Gerry and I are more than happy to help in any way we can to ensure that your stay in Glasgow is an enjoyable one. We lived in this flat for over 35 years, raising our large family, so we know and love this area very well. We love walking and will gladly advise on places you might like to visit during your stay.
