I had such a great stay with Elaine and Robert, and the kitties!! Super friendly hosts, spacious home and very comfortable bedroom with own bathroom. Easy transport links or a 30min walk to Pavilion theatre. You can also use one of the rooms for vocal warm up etc!
Highly recommended and will definitely stay again! 😃

Really handy for the Lowry and near shops too.
20th Apr 2026
Wonderful digs. Super kind, warm, welcoming hosts, lovely house and super quiet room at the top of the house. Great to see you again! Thanks so much for having me, and look forward to seeing you next time!
3rd Apr 2026
Thank you, Bill. We look forward to having you back.
I had a wonderful stay with Elaine and her husband, and the two cats too! Lovely room with the added benefit of an electric blanket and own bathroom.
2nd Mar 2026
Lovely digs. Elaine was so welcoming and the room and bathroom are extremely clean and comfortable. They are a 40min easy walk but Bellgrove train station is only at the bottom of the road and trains are frequent and take about 8 mins to Charing Cross for the Kings theatre so a very easy commute. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you Elaine for making me feel so welcome
25th Feb 2026
It really was a pleasure to have you stay. You have a very calm and positive energy.
I had a very comfortable stay with Elaine and Robert 😄 they were wonderful hosts and made sure I had everything I needed and more. I had plenty of space and use of a separate bathroom which was handy being right next to my room! If you have a heavy suitcase I would say to just be aware the room is up a couple flights of stairs and the house at the top of a hill, however it was easy to navigate the rest of the week once in :) Thanks again x
21st Feb 2026
A pleasure to host you. You are welcome back any time.
Super fabulous couple & the room is perfect! Toasty warm and really comfortable. Elaine and Robert are wonderful people and very hospitable, they even stayed up to past midnight when my train was getting in super late from London! I loved staying here and will hopefully be back the next time I’m in Scotland.
24th Nov 2025
Perfect digs. Beautiful house, so close to the train station and 3 stops to King's Theatre. Thoughtful, friendly and interesting hosts. Warm and comfortable room with welcome hot drink making facilities. Will certainly stay again and recommend to colleagues. Wonderful
10th Nov 2025
Thank you Phil, what a lovely review. We hope you make it back to us. All the best
Excellent digs!
VERY comfortable room, Elaine and Robert were lovely, the house is gorgeous, location is great, east walk or quick train to the theatre. Absolutely would come back!
10th Nov 2025
I had the pleasure of staying for 2 weeks while on the 'Tina' musical tour. The room at the top of the house is lovely, comfortable bed, large window, chair to relax in, table to work from, fast internet connection and the guest bathroom next door is a real bonus. There's a large Lidl supermarket nearby and a few minutes walk to Bellgrove station and a 10 minute train journey is the perfect way to get to the Kings theatre. Elaine and Robert made me feel very at home, I hope I can stay again.
9th Oct 2025
Thank you David, what a lovely review. You'd be welcome back anytime.
Very comfortable and spacious digs with easy transport links into the Kings Theatre. Elaine was very welcoming and I felt very much at home. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay. Would definitely stay again and recommend.
23rd Sep 2025
Thank you, Edward. We look forward to your return.
Elaine and her husband were very welcoming and I had a pleasant stay while working in Glasgow. Thanks, Elaine!
8th Sep 2025
Loved my stay. Very easy into town either on foot or train.
29th Jul 2025
Finally! found great digs in Glasgow. Great room and bathroom. A lovely helpfull couple. Easy to park. I cycled in, so can't comment on local transport. Most of all, I felt really comfy here. Only on a personal level, a tv would've topped it off. But again, thats just me. Can't recommend highly enough.
Thank you lots.
14th Jul 2025
Thank you for such a lovely review, Timi, and for being such an easy guest.
Had a really lovely stay, room was nice and enjoyed the private bathroom
18th Jun 2025
I had a wonderful stay with Elaine. The house is absolutely lovely and my room and bathroom were great, not to mention the massive kitchen. Elaine, Thank you to you and Robert for being so kind and helpful, it was much appreciated. I hope you’ll have me stay again.
Kirk.
3rd Jun 2025
Anytime, Kirk..it was a pleasure to have you here.
I had a lovely stay with Elaine. Comfortable and warm room with lovely bathroom. Easy access to town, either by train via Bellgrove station (only 5 mins walk away), bus or a 30 min walk in. Would stay again!
13th Apr 2025
Thank you, Damien. You'd be very welcome to return. Safe travels
I had a great stay here, the room was big and comfortable, the location was great, I got the train into the city centre most days, but I did walk for a couple of them so location wise it was great too. Lovely friendly hosts and the property had everything I needed for my stay. I would happily stay here again next time I am in the area. Thank you for a great hub while there.
29th Mar 2025
Thank you Zoe. Very nice to meet you. Hope we see you again.
Friendly, warm and welcoming digs in a great location and amazing value! Elaine and Robert were great hosts.
4th Feb 2025
Perfect digs in a stunning house. Will definitely stay here again
3rd Nov 2024
Thanks Ben. You'd be very welcome.
Just brilliant. I really enjoyed my stay here . Very comfortable.
22nd Oct 2024
Was like living in a home away from home. I got the train to the Theatre Royal, which is a 2 min walk from Charing Cross station. A return ticket was super cheap and only three stops away and even an Uber on a late night out was less than a £10 from in town. Elaine and Robert are really welcome host and are very considerate in making sure you aren't cold. Would happily stay there again.
16th Oct 2024
Elaine and Robert were wonderful hosts - I’m sad I didn’t have more time to get to know them better! The house is beautiful and room was lovely and bright. I loved the large private bathroom too. I got a weekly train ticket which made the commute to the King’s even easier. Would definitely stay again.
30th Sep 2024
Thank you Sophie. You were a terrific guest and definitely welcome back.
Absolutely lovely. Quiet and peaceful - which was much needed due to personal reasons. Robert and Elaine were so kind and left me to rest in between shows, quietly.
30 min jog to theatre or 45 min walk. 20 mins to George’s Square. Used train once. Quick and easy to Kings theatre.
Highly recommend. Thank you for your kindness and your peaceful accommodation. Xx
10th Sep 2024
Thank you for such a lovely review. It was a pleasure to host you.
Elaine and Robert were brilliantly welcoming hosts, really great to talk to and very considerate. They even catered to the plunging temperatures and lent me some clothes when I was in a pickle! The room and private bathroom were both generous and comfortable. It’s approximately a 30/35minute walk to the Theatre Royal but the bus route is also very easy and cheap. I recommend the short walk to both Mesa and Zennor for some lovely food and coffee on the nearby high street. Super stay.
12th Jul 2024
Thank you for such a lovely review Benedict. You were a pleasure to have as a guest and most welcome elcome back any time.
Had a really lovely time at Elaine's beautiful house. Really welcoming and great space. Thanks so much!
22nd May 2024
A pleasure to have you stay. You are welcome any time.
Quite possibly the nicest digs I've ever stayed in. The room is lovely, the bathroom too, I enjoyed cooking in the kitchen and Elaine and her partner were so lovely to chat to when I saw them around. Few train stops from the King's Theatre too, or a nice 40 minute walk if it's nice weather. Definitely would stay again in a heartbeat. Thank you!
7th May 2024
Thank you Isabel. I'm so glad our space worked for you. It was a pleasure having you here. You were a lovely guest and welcome anytime
Amazing digs, super easy journey into the theatre (we were at the King’s). Elaine and Robert were incredible hosts making me feel most welcome during my stay. Would 100% recommend
17th Mar 2024
Thanks Jonno. What a lovely review. I hope the rest of the tour goes well.
Wonderful digs. I had a great stay with Elaine and Robert. Super kind and helpful, some great chats and a very beautiful house. Lovely room on the top floor, own bathroom and approx 30 mins walk into the Theatre Royal. Thanks so much again and see you next time!
5th Mar 2024
Thank you for such lovely review Bill. You are welcome back anytime.
My second time with Elaine and Robert, and they are such lovely hosts. Thank you again!
5th Feb 2024
I really enjoyed my stay in this beautiful house. The room was lovely and had everything I needed and more, it was a great location for easily getting to Wardpark Studios and Elaine and her husband are super friendly and lovely to chat too. I really recommend these digs! Thank you so much to you both for having me!
21st Dec 2023
It was a pleasure to meet you . I hope the rest of your time in Glasgow is successful. Take care.

21st Dec 2023
Always a pleasure. Thank you for being such an easy guest.
Staying with Elaine was a pleasure. I had a very spacious, warm and cosy room. The entire house was clean and tidy and just so lovely to stay in. I have no complaints! Thank you so much for having me!
26th Oct 2023
You were a lovely guest. Welcome back anytime.
Nice private room on the second floor along with a large bathroom. The room can get a little cold, but the electric blanket and radiator was a thoughtful touch. Well connected to the city too, only a short walk to the bus stop or train station.
3rd Oct 2023
That was a cold week!!Hadn't quite got the winter timings right on our heating system, but sorted now.
I had the most fantastic stay with Elaine and Robert in their lovely home. My room was spacious and light with fantastic views over Glasgow and an equally spacious bathroom just next door. Everything I could need was there and I was more than welcomed to use the kitchen and make myself at home. It was great to stay with such a kind and interesting couple and enjoy some really good chats. Parking is easy on the road outside with a short and direct train journey into town but also walkable.
8th Sep 2023
What a lovely review Rose. Thank you so much. We do hope you come and stay again. It was such a pleasure having you.

I stayed for nearly 3 weeks in this comfortable, spotless room, with a warm welcome by my hosts. Well equipped kitchen with space made for me in the fridge and cupboards. Kettle, mini fridge & tea/coffee in the room is a thoughtful touch. Thank you!
14th Feb 2023

24th Feb 2020
Thank you Alison, It was a pleasure to meet you (and your husband) and we look forward to your next visit! We wish you the very best of luck in your career.
Robert and Elaine are a warm, friendly couple and welcoming hosts. The room was on the top floor so there was plenty of privacy or space if I needed it. The location is a reasonable 20 min walk from the centre of town. Would definitely stay again.
21st Oct 2019
I stayed with Elaine for 4 weeks and I couldn't recommend these Digs enough. I was given enough of my own space and also felt very welcome to use all amenities in the house. The house was clean and very homely, in a fantastic location. Fantastic stay
25th Sep 2019
Thank you Declan. It was lovely having you as our first 'long-stay' guest. You are welcome back any time.
