Tom is the Host with the Most-est! He greeted us when we arrived earlier than planned, made us tea and helped us settle in to our new stay. Breakfast was wonderful and really set us off on a full belly. Our room was spacious, clean, with a sink, tea area and great TV. We highly recommend this property and Tom! He made our stay in Glasgow extra special. Thanks, Tom!

Host and the lady who makes breakfast/does room service are very nice. The host lives there, which makes the atmosphere have more of a personal touch. At the same time, the host isn’t too in your business. Beautiful Edwardian (?) home. The walls are thick, so you can’t hear the other guests. Very comfortable mattresses with nice goose down pillows and duvets. Do bring your own washcloths and toiletries, also a spare roll of toilet paper, as we ran out in the middle of the night a couple times, which was the only downside.

The food was awful and cheap tasting so didn't eat much and was poorly cooked and prepared. Choice was limited. The breakfast was serve yourself and served at 8.30 which is quite rigid to be honest. No shower gel or soap in the bathroom which is ridiculous to be honest. We saw the host once and he looked flustered and stressed and not particularly welcoming. Neither was the woman who did the breakfasts. I asked for an extra orange juice and some white bread for toast and you would think I was asking for the world. I didn't feel welcomed at all despite paying to stay there. The hosts need to work on their manners and improve their customer service to be honest.

We stayed for 2 nights. We loved the house.it has loads of period features and a great big window on the stairs. Our bed was comfy, and the room big, with a fridge to store our wine. The shower was great, way better than mine at home! Quiet neighbourhood and a quick walk to the train station into town. Tom and Christine were lovely, and the generous breakfast kept us going for ages. We'll be back

Our rooms were ensuite, spacious and comfortable and the shower was fine although no toiletries are provided, just hand wash. The house is big and has been grand but is now tired and in need of a lot of updating. There was an oil heater in our bedrooms that was adequate if left on all the time, but the breakfast/sitting room was cold and drab. Having a fridge in the room was helpful for milk, wine etc. and there is a microwave in the living room for guests to use. Tom was very hospitable and down-to-earth. Christine who brought breakfast was also very helpful with local information. If you eat meat, you're ok. For us, we'd have liked a continental breakfast but weren't offered a choice, so a big bowl of bacon and sausages was wasted. Lastly, if you don't know Glasgow, Claremont House is around 1 mile from the city centre. The 38 bus isn't far away but we mostly walked in and then on to the West End for galleries, gardens and food. It was great to get a good feel for the city this way.

A warm welcome and great value - recommended!
We stayed with Tom at Claremont House for the weekend whilst we visited Glasgow for Celtic Connections. We received a warm Glasgow welcome from Tom and he even offered us a cuppa when we arrived. The room we stayed in was spacious, warm, and immaculately clean. There was also a small fridge and tea/coffee-making facilities. Night times were very quiet and we slept well. Breakfast was enjoyable with cereal, yoghurts, and cooked options. This place is great value for money, and a good option if like us we were looking for a traditional guest house experience. There is free parking out front, which is a bonus, and you can get to this place without having to pay for the clean air zone charge.

A spacious and comfortable townhouse B&B. Easy to find and park in street. Even though we arrived early owner very accommodating. Large comfortable room and bathroom. Great to be able to use large living/dining room in evenings for drinks, etc with family. Excellent breakfast included. Glasgow a great surprise. Loved it. Very interesting.

Tom is a charismatic and welcoming host. Bed mega comfy. Room clean. Loads of nice touches like coffee or a beer on arrival and a run down of what’s good nearby. Would 100% recommend for solos or couples. Didn’t try breakfast but always smelt great.

The hosts are very welcoming and friendly. The room was comfortable, had a proper couch and armchair; also a sink and small fridge. There was an electrical multi-socket beside the bed for all your gadgets. Parking in the street in front of the property was easy but might be a problem if they are fully booked; limited parking in the driveway. The rooms are not ensuite.

Overall this B&B is quite acceptable and the room we had was ensuite, quite large and very clean. The place is in a very quiet neighborhood but a bit far from the city. It was at least 35 minutes to walk to George Square. The owner is very friendly and will accommodate early arrivals and departures. The breakfast is a full Scottish breakfast and the quantities are more than enough. Fruit and cheese would have been nice but there is yogurt and cereal for a lighter breakfast. Shower gel and shampoo are not provided which we found surprising. For some reason, it was also difficult to get toilet paper. It was clearly forgotten a few times.

Was more than happy for the price paid the guy that ran it was a very friendly fella and very down to earth. The accommodation is very easy to get to 7min walk off the bus 38,38B that same bus takes you 7stops under 10mins into town. 24hr garage up the road opposite a Domino's pizza, subway and a bit along Coop and Iceland supermarket

We enjoyed our 2 night stay here. Tom the owner was a nice friendly guy with some good information of the area. Our room was spacious and clean with tea and coffee and a fridge. Also a nice breakfast selection. Overall a nice place. About a 20 minutes walk to the city center. Ideal location. Would stay here again. Thanks Tom

Don’t stay here. It’s awful, dirty, run-down. The owner was asleep, couldn’t walk straight, answer questions. Place falsely advertised, fake info and pictures. Really creepy. Worse, we asked for a refund and he refused and asked to remove the listing. We could not believe we were charged and could not be refunded for a property that used phony pictures and lied about the property. Be forewarned!

We did not stay. Entry way cluttered. Sitting room had dirty tea cups that weren’t cleared. Liquor bottle near fireplace on floor. Looked like cleaning hadn’t occurred . Tom, host, complained Expedia should not have booked a single night , that a 2 night minimum required. We felt unwanted and guilty for showing up. How were we supposed to know? We left without staying, but cannot get our money back. Both Expedia and Claremont House a huge dissappointment. Tom, why would you keep a payment you did not earn or provide services for? I see positive reviews for this B&B, but we experienced something far less. Be wary of this B&B. They seem to run hot and cold.

The house was lovely, must have been beautiful in its day. Nice road, good parking. A welcome with a cup of tea which was nice, but host seemed unwell. Breakfast was plentiful, but could have been so much better. Everything seemed the cheapest, was it butter or margerine, was it real coffee or instant? bacon all not very appetising. One large dining tabel which encourgaed conversation which was good. No shower soap, hand soap was 'best buy'. Australian and German folk there as well as us - not the best experience of Scottish hospitality.

Great value for money. We were welcomed into Tom's home and had access to living-room. Breakfast was served around a dining table, which encouraged conversations with other guests. Owner was helpful and flexible. (Please note that he would have to be informed well in advance if you have special dietry requirements and that breakfast is served at fixed time.) Room was cleaned regularly.
