The Space:
A true home away from home with all the amenities you need to settle in and enjoy just being in the city and having your own family home in Glasgow. The flat was part of the mansion flats built at the turn of the 20th century - so the rooms are extra large with high ceilings. It is furnished with period furniture and has an elegant country estate aesthetic. Many guests have compared it to Downton Abbey (just smaller). The BBC has filmed here twice.

The Neighborhood:
Queensborough Gardens is located in the highly sought-after Hyndland area in Glasgow’s leafy West End—an elegant, residential neighbourhood known for its quiet streets, period architecture, and vibrant community atmosphere.
The area is characterised by beautiful Victorian and Edwardian sandstone townhouses and leafy avenues, creating a peaceful yet stylish setting. Despite its residential feel, Queensborough Gardens is just minutes away from the buzz of Byres Road—home to some of Glasgow’s best-loved cafes, bars, restaurants, and boutique shops. The popular Cottiers Theatre, set in a converted church, offers live performances and a charming beer garden nearby.
Hyndland itself has a village-like charm, with independent shops, delis, artisan bakeries, and coffee spots lining Hyndland Road. There’s a strong sense of community, and it’s popular with professionals, academics, and families alike.
For green space, residents and visitors can enjoy nearby Kelvingrove Park or the Botanic Gardens, both offering beautiful walking paths, picnic spots, and riverside views.
