Great place to stay for a larger group attending a family wedding in Scotland. 30 mins from Glasgow by car, also a decent train service is nearby, and also close proximity to some glorious scenery in Argyll. The house was just as advertised, and communications with James were straightforward and clear. Thanks for a great stay!
We very much enjoyed our stay in Cardross. It is a lovely little town that is still very convenient to everything. We typically stay in Glasgow when we come to visit family but instead chose to stay a little more rural. I am glad that we did! The home is very spacious with all amenities and is very clean. We were able to have the family come and visit us and had more room to comfortably sit and spend time together. The owner has taken great care to create a beautiful and comfortable space to enjoy. The back garden is quite the treat to explore and identify all the various trees and flowers. Careful of the water pressure in the sink located in the kitchen! More than one of us received an unintended shower from turning the handle a little too quickly. That being my only exceptionally minor complaint (and not really a complaint at all), this house was wonderful!
very nice big house got lost in it a few times all the family enjoyed themselves there were plenty of rooms to sit in and do your own thing great place for a large family holiday, it was quite central to a lot of places . would definately stay again.
Great house and garden for large family group, comfortable and warm.
Good base for both city and country trips, even though not on usual tourist trail.
Very good, we enjoyed our stay very much. When we had a problem of our own making the housekeeper was very helpful and kind. Seven members of our family were very comfortable during our stay and friends were able to come and have a dinner with us one day.
Perfect for a family get away - there were 10 of us aged 8 to 80. Lots of space and a lovely big garden Young ones loved being able to walk to the 'beach' and playing hide and seek in the house.
Great having 2 fridge/freezers and a washing machine (children!)
The Springvale manor is an absolutely beautiful property that is clearly well loved and cared for. The surrounding area is quiet and peaceful. It was a quick walk to the train station, the local grocery store, and even the ruins of an old castle! We could not have enjoyed our stay more and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone staying with a large party.
I would love to stay here again in tbe future.
Twelve of us stayed in this lovely large comfortable house. seven adults and five children aged 9 to 16 had a wonderful time making their own entertainment both indoors and in the large garden. Hotel nearby served meals but most evenings did our own catering.
We had a lovely stay at the Springvale house,
We have been 11 persons and found lots of space for all of us. The house has a historic ambience which we really enjoyed. We can highly recommend the location.
Train station is nearby and we went to Glasgow and Edinburgh. We also went to Loch Lomond by car, which took only about 20-30 minutes.
We had a wonderful time at Jamesâ place. We had 7 adults and 2 young children. It had plenty of space for all of us. Our 2 year old loved the back yard and the bomb shelter. The walk to the train was a beautiful 10-12 minute walk along the water. You do hear the train horn every time a train comes through but we got used to it quickly. We saw many of the neighbors and they were all so hi helpful and friendly. We just canât say enough about our stay here.
Beautiful house with lovely garden, definitely recommend for a large group. James was very accomodating even offering us use of his personal space for a couple of our lads prior to official check in time. The housekeepers were there when we arrived and were super friendly and helpful. Absolutely loved staying here, would definitely use again if in the area. Plenty of equipment for cooking, fridges a plenty so no worries regarding storage of food for large groups, We didn't find we were short of a single item! Highly recommended
Springvale was everything we expected. Lovely house inside and out. Very spacious with plenty of room for our family group. We were three families, ranging in age from 71 down to a 1 year old. We were very lucky with the weather and made good use of the gardens. The teenagers enjoyed playing badminton in the large front garden and we managed to have a BBQ on one of the evenings. The large kitchen was great for cooking and we all managed to eat around the big table. Plenty of things to do in the local area and not far from Lock Lomond. Would definitely recommend Springvale to anyone looking for a big house to enjoy with family or friends.
Really enjoyed our long weekend stay at Springvale. The house even lovelier than the pics. It was clean, comfortable, warm and well equipped. Appreciated the excellent showers in the modernised bathrooms that kept a hint of the Victorian past in the modern style. The 2 children loved the garden hunt for the air-raid shelter. Lovely walks nearby and Helensburgh for supermarkets and shops. James was easy to communicate with via email and responded promptly. Would definitely return. Thank you James, much appreciation, Carole
We arrived on Monday from our four day stay in Glasgow. We started with 5 people and increased to 9 by Wednesday afternoon. The space is beautifully laid out with ample bedrooms and bathrooms. The greenhouse in the back was the preferred space. It was tranquil and beautiful with many flowering trees and shrubs. The train was a quick walk down a seaside walkway.
The Aga in the kitchen was a real treat to work with and proved to be perfect for our self catered party. Our host shared some local sites to explore and we had a beautiful hike in Loch Lomond. Highly recommend this site for small groups. The Cardross Inn has a lovely breakfast just down the road.
The house is well located close to Cardross centre , shops and places to walk (Loch Lomond !). The house itself is character full, cosy and ideal for a group of people with generous bedrooms (2 en suite ) and plenty of group space (snug , large kitchen diner and a living room ). There was limited toilet roll and soap when we arrived but this got quickly resolved via contact with manager. There are also not too many mugs and glasses for a group of 10-12 but good dish washer which helps. The only issue was with the app vrbo which doesnt allow co-guests to acess key information. The precise adress of the place isnt given clearly and we needed to contact the host. All together great stay would recommend.
Our stay was for a week , 7 of us over three generations ranging from 10 to 77. Springvale is a stunning property and very spacious. We loved how it was decorated and the family pictures added a lovely touch. The house was very clean and had all the facilities you would need.
The garden was amazing and although the weather was mostly wet, it was a great space for Cooper our puppy. All enclosed with lovely trees. A small walk to the river Clyde for the Doggo was also a great plus for us.
Springvale is so close to all the local sites and loch Lomond. Literally a 10ish minute drive to Balloch.
Lots of great places to eat nearby, The Cardross Inn and Cattle&Creel , La Barca in Helensburgh would be our recommendations. Also in Balloch, The Pier and Cucina.
All the local Scottish people we met were so friendly and helpful.
Rented for a month and it was initially difficult to get fresh clean bedding changes.
House advertised for 12 but lacked sufficient glasses, mugs (had to buy), sharp kitchen knives, working can opener, floor mop, up to date trash collection notification etc....hot water tank and heater burst not repaired during last nine days of rent. Parking inadequate as owner requested access at all times.
Hot water
We stayed here as a family group of 9. The house was a perfect size for us and the garden was amazing for the kids. Location is great with easy access to nearby Helensburgh Dumbarton and Glasgow. Can recommend the local pub the Cardross Inn
Die Unterkunft war sauber und mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Viele Zimmer, viele BĂ€der und ein groĂer Garten. Unternehmungen in der NĂ€he waren ebenfalls viele vorhanden. Die Kommunikation mit der Verwalterin/dem Besitzer war top und die Antworten kamen sehr schnell.
Lovely house, great location for walks and day trips and a good restaurant nearby. Bedrooms bigger than we expected and a really well-equipped house. Would recommend
