I read the reviews online & stayed here for 2 nights, as it was near the Scotstoun Leisure Centre (5-10 minutes in a taxi)

Even with the good reviews I was pleasantly surprised with the appearance of the Barrisdale. High ceilings, well decorated &clean throughout. Our twin en-suite room was warm& spacious with large windows.

Ron was very friendly & helpful, a breakfast tray was served at our door until 9am- breakfast in bed was a treat (in PJs too)! Tea, orange juice, croissants,muffins,brioche,toast,(all warmed), cereal,yogurt, fresh fruit..phew more than enough!

For dinner we ate at the pub just across the road which does reasonably-priced pub food &there's a petrol station shop for emergencies, but for more choice you'd have to take a taxi somewhere. We didn't get a chance to explore the area much.

The only downsides were that our shower was temperamental-going boiling hot then cold frequently. And the doors were thin if someone was playing music, but other than that it was great value in a quiet area with a very accommodating host.
Would go back again.

I loved the Barrisdale - it was so much more than I expected! Lovely interior, awesome breakfast, super friendly and very accomodating hosts. The breakfast is continental - but don't expect to go away hungry! Rolls, muffins, fresh fruit, yoghurt, tea/coffee, juice, cereal...you get it all each morning. The Hyndland train station is maybe a five minute walk down the road and it takes you right into George's Square, Glasgow. Jordanhill station is also close by. They have lots of travel info in the room, and if you need any more advice, Ron is great about giving direction. It's in the more upscale side of town, and I felt the tariff was very fair for the accomodation. I would stay again in a flash!

The Barisdale Guest House is a charming place to stay when visiting Glasgow. Located two exits from the airport, and just a few minutes walk from the train station, makes this b and b a convenient choice. Ron, the gracious host, provided a warm reception, filled with information and humor. Our lovely room was comfortable, and the generous continental breakfast was delivered to our door.
We enjoyed Ron's hospitality so much, that we stayed at the Barisdale again the evening before our departure.

My daughter, new son-in-law, husband and myself stayed at Barrisdale House last September. The rooms were lovely, the location was great, and the hospitality very warm. The tube is only a couple blocks away, a great pub is around the corner, and the resident dog will greet you with delight each time you come home. We stayed for 3 nights and would recommend it to anyone who wants an above average room, breakfast and location.
