Think of a break in a vibrant city with stunning architecture, superb art galleries, concert halls, theatres, world class restaurants, beautiful parks, fine churches, buzzing with verve and energy yet surrounded by some legendary countryside...where might that be?  Forget Berlin and Barcelona - we're talking Glasgow!

19th century Glasgow was built on the proceeds of its industrial wealth, and the tobacco, ship-building and sugar barons made sure they built in style.  The Woodside Terrace Apartment is to be found in a gracious row of Regency town houses standing high above the fashionable West End of the city, just a few minutes walk from Sauchiehall Street and Buchanan Street, (a mecca for serious shoppers), with the Concert Hall and theatres in one direction, and Kelvingrove Park, the gothic confection of the University, the great sporting venue of the Kelvin Hall and the Great Western Road to Loch Lomond (now the site of the new championship golf course) and the Trossachs in the other.

Carefully restored and beautifully appointed, The Woodside Terrace Apartment combines understated elegance with every modern comfort.  The spacious sitting room, with its blonde wood flooring, large windows, flame effect fire and sumptuous sofas, is perfect for relaxing after a hard day's sightseeing, shopping or culture cruising.  Or take your drink out onto the basement patio at the front (furniture).  With a sheltered area, it can be enjoyed even in less clement weather.  The modern kitchen is superbly equipped, though why eat in, when you have some of the best restaurants in Europe within walking distance?

In the last decades, Glasgow has reinvented itself as an amazing holiday venue.  It is a city with a continuous buzz, which oozes wit and character.  From close to the house you can catch the Clockwork Orange, as the outgoing and friendly Glaswegians refer to their metro, which will take you right round the central city area.  Wherever you go, look up, and marvel at the superb architecture.  Glasgow is, after all, the home of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Alexander 'Greek' Thompson.  The Mackintosh-designed Glasgow School of Art is nearby and you can also visit his House for an Art Lover on the south side of the city.  Over there, too, is the famous Burrell Collection in Pollok Park.

With such comfortable and well-appointed accommodation so ideally situated in the heart of this European City of Culture, there is really no excuse for not making The Woodside Terrace Apartment the base for your next City Break!

Bed linen and towels are INCLUDED.  Heating is by gas central heating and gas fire (first £10 INCLUDED).  Sorry, no pets or smokers, and the house is not suitable for children under 10.
