If you ever find 'The Lomond' is full on the dates you require please check 'The Nevis' for availability.

'The Lomond' has been thoroughly modernised, while retaining a number of the original features. The interior decor beautifully harmonises the contemporary and traditional, and maximises the historical detail throughout.

This apartment is a comfortable, functional, yet truly luxurious place to stay.

The Lomond is situated on the first floor. You will be welcomed by a traditional Scottish 'Close' gaining access to the front door from two flights of stairs, around 20 in total. The apartment has been refurbished with the traveller in mind, but also being careful to retain some of the original Victorian features.

The apartment has a brand new kitchen, including oven, hob, microwave, coffee machine, fridge, and breakfast bar. There is also a dining table in the bay window for four people to enjoy a home cooked meal. If cooking at home isn't your thing, there are several restaurants within 100 metres for you to enjoy stunning Scottish food, or just a drink. Garvies restaurant is 15 metres from the apartment front door and currently offer any guests at West Highland Apartment 20% off their food bill.

The apartment has two double bedrooms offering a pair of single beds in each. The larger master bedroom has European size single beds for the taller person and comes with an en suite bathroom. Bedroom two has two standard single beds and use of the main bathroom. Both bedrooms have mirrored wardrobe space and a vanity unit including a hair dryer.

The main living room of the property offers a large 3 seat leather sofa and two leather chairs for the weary (or not so weary) traveller to relax. There is a 55" 4K TV with Virgin Fiber WIFI if you fancy a movie night.

Access to the kitchen is done via the living room, offering that modern touch in a traditional property.

It has over 120 businesses operating from the centre and its popularity is growing year on year. Milngavie is most recognised for being the start of the West Highland Way, but other walks, including the Clyde Costal Path, also meet in Milngavie.

Throughout the year many events take place in the town including the Highland Games, Cycling Events, Car Events, Milngavie Folk Club, so you will have plenty to choose from on your visit. Don’t forget the stunning Mugdock Country Park or Waterworks for a stroll and a coffee.

'The Lomond' is situated 150 metres from Milngavie Train Station, which gives you access to Glasgow City Centre in 20 minutes or Edinburgh in just over an hour. You could even head off up the west coast, and enjoy a day at the seaside. The options are endless with this amazing location. 'The Lomond' apartment is also located on the main bus routes including the 60 and 60A.

If walking is your thing then you will have Europe’s most popular walk right at your door: the West Highland Way, offering the stunning scenery of the West Coast, Loch Lomond and much more. It’s simply the best walk around. If you’d rather stay more local, Milngavie Waterworks offers a flat and pleasant walk, but equally stunning.

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.

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.
