Great Location in Milngavie
We rented The Lomond for 10 days in October 2024 while visiting family in Milngavie. All communication was thorough and clear. Check-in was easy. The flat was quite clean and had most everything we needed. Comfortable beds and plenty of pillows! The location in the pedestrian village of Milngavie is great with so many shops (including Tesco) within easy walking distance. West Highland Apts will be at the top of our list for our next visit.

Very memorable
This property is as exactly as described no disappointment at all. Alistair is very helpful in anyway he can. We loved the location and the ease of getting anywhere by Transit. The shops and restaurants were also great. You won’t be disappointed. Hope to be back sometime. Thanks, R.K

Beautiful Flat in Perfect Location
We recently stayed for a week while visiting family and greeting a new grandchild. The flat is comfortable, beautifully designed and was a perfect place to gather before dining in the area. Great beds and baths, lovely well stocked kitchen and lounge. The Lomond was our best Milngavie stay ever!

Comforts of home in Milngavie
Modern, immaculate, nice amenities, very pleasant. Two small suggestions: provide a coat hook in the bedroom for longer items of apparel (robes, coats); bathroom waste bins are tiny for travelers staying more than a few days.

Wonderful location!
We very much enjoyed our stay. It was the perfect place to prepare to walk the West Highland Way. The location was about 5 minutes from the train station, and about one minute from the beginning of the West Highland Way. The apartment was clean and well-appointed. There were two of us, and we each had our own room and bathroom. I would definitely stay here again!

Review of stay in lomon
Everything was good except the wrong entrance code was sent to us. This caused a very embarrassing wait until it was resolve. This communication error needs attention by VRBO. This was not the first time this has happened at that location.

Perfect property!
We had the loveliest of stays at the Lomond. Disappointed in the website we booked it through as the checkin instructions were incorrect and the property has a very easy manual which we could have done with seeing before we arrived. VRBO not sure what happened…?

Spotless and beautiful 2-bed flat, right on the High Street
The flat was easy to find, and very clean. There were several items included to make our stay much better! (Tea, coffee, cereal). We enjoyed staying right in the heart of Milngavie, and will definitely use the flat again.

excellent stay
auf unserer 13 tägigen Schottlandtour wohl die beste Unterkunft. Liegt zwar in der Einflugschneise von Glasgow Airport, doch das Apartment holt diesen Nachteil wieder raus.
