Tenement House in Glasgow is a typical Victorian tenement flat of 1892, a fascinating time capsule of the first half of the 20th century. It was the home of an ordinary Glasgow shorthand typist, Miss Agnes Toward who lived up this 'close' for more than 50 years, and it retains many original features such as the bed recesses, the kitchen range, coal bunker and bathroom. In the gaslit parlour the table is set for afternoon tea - and there is a rosewood piano - a sure sign of Victorian gentility! There is an exhibition on the ground floor

I have selected the properties on Private House Stays for their individuality that results from being privately owned. They take many forms from bed and breakfasts to small hotels but in each case it is the marque of the owner that sets it apart. This may be the charm of the furnishings, the wholesome home cooking or simply the atmosphere created by a charismatic host. I have inspected most of the establishments listed here and feel sure you will enjoy staying in them too.
Remember - booking through Private House Stays is free of charge.
