In early September my wife and I spent 3 nights in the CRM room. It is a COLOSSAL room--I paced it off as roughly 500 square feet not counting the bathroom/ensuite--with 3 (openable) floor-to-ceiling windows, 13-14 foot ceilings, exquisite moldings, and beautiful, tasteful decorations all over. It is one level above the street, yet there was almost no street noise and not a hint of the other guests. It has one of the most comfortable beds we've ever slept on--decidedly firm but not hard--and many subtle but appreciated touches like in-room tea and coffee service, with little sweet treats replenished daily, and a ground floor common room refrigerator for guest use, with provided beverages and storage space for restaurant leftovers. The building itself, while unimposing from the outside, is overall striking and impressive inside. It is in a great location for exploring Glasgow's West End, the University, the Kelvingrove Art Gallery, the Botanical Garden and the shops on Byres Rd and Great Western Rd. It is a 15-25 minute walk to downtown, depending upon your speed. We felt completely safe walking after dark. Almost no vehicle traffic. It is not close to any subway station, but we always were able to get Ubers with minimal waiting time. Very reasonable in Glasgow. Lorraine, the host, was extremely friendly, accommodating and helpful in every way we could have hoped. Excellent restaurant suggestions. There are a few things to keep in mind, as they are not obvious on the website or in your confirmation email. First, breakfast is served in your room, not in a common area where you interact with other guests, if the social element of staying at a B&B is important to you. Breakfast also is a modest affair--delicious, well-prepared and super punctual--but not the sort of massive overload of options some B&Bs offer. Second, Lorraine asks all guests to remove shoes upon entering, and she provides a variety of slippers to wear inside if you wish. This was an unexpected inconvenience rather than a real problem.
