Escape to Grassy Bottom: Your Cozy Retreat on the Clyde
Unwind in style at our unique self-contained apartment, where modern comfort meets breathtaking views. Relax and curl up with Parker's latest novel (available on Amazon) – a guaranteed source of laughter best enjoyed with a good glass of wine.
Watch the ever-changing tapestry of the Clyde Estuary from your balcony. This thriving deep-water channel is a constant source of fascination, with a parade of cruise liners, freighters, naval vessels, and the busy procession of ferries linking the mainland to the Isle of Bute.
It's a cosy retreat nestled next to the great outdoors, yet just a short train and boat ride from Glasgow. A true world apart.

Your Welcome
We believe in a warm welcome. For guests staying four nights or more, we provide a complimentary welcome basket filled with freshly baked bread, milk, butter, and local treats.
You'll have a kitchenette with the facilities to prepare your own breakfast, make a picnic, and heat up ready meals. Please note, it is not equipped for creating gourmet meals.
Don’t forget: great discounts are available for weekly rents! And to be honest, you'll need a week to even scratch the surface of what this beautiful area has to offer.
A Special Breakfast for Shorter Stays
For guests staying three nights or fewer, you are invited to join Philip upstairs for a special light continental breakfast. This includes:
· Fruit juice
· A choice of homemade small pots, perhaps chia seed soaked in yoghurt and topped with fruit
· Philip’s famous sourdough bread, toasted and served with preserves, marmalade, and possibly fresh lemon curd
· Freshly baked croissants or Danish pastries (subject to Philip’s baking schedule!)
· A choice of freshly ground coffee, teas, and infusions
Please advise us of any dietary requirements prior to your arrival; we are very happy to provide a vegan breakfast.

And to be honest, you need a week to scrape the surface of what’s available.
For guests staying for shorter periods, join Philip up in his kitchen where he will provide one of his special light continental breakfasts, comprising fruit juice, choice of home mixed small pots.

Dependent on Philip’s baking schedule, there are possibly freshly baked croissants or Danish pastries. Choice of freshly ground coffee or teas and infusions.
If you have dietary requirements, please let us know prior to your arrival. Quite happy producing a vegan breakfast.
If you are staying for only three nights, don’t expect a traditional B & B, Grassy Bottom is a magical place, where you can discover the warmth and quiet of seclusion with modern facilities.
The house, the memorabilia from distant lands, the collections of books and films with hundreds of titles both audio and video, the garden, the surrounding nature, the silence.
Grassy Bottom in every aspect contributes to making your stay unique, enjoyable and relaxing. But more importantly it’s your opportunity to make it your home from home.

Polite reminder
We would like to draw your attention to a part of our Airbnb house rules concerning quiet hours (10pm - 7am).
We are in a lovely, quiet setting and we just ask that guests are mindful of the other people in the house and the wider neighbourhood during these hours. Normal enjoyment is absolutely fine, we just need to keep the decibels down a little.
As the sound travels so easily from the open deck, we’d be especially grateful if you could be extra mindful when using it after 11pm.
We really appreciate you helping us with this. It makes all the difference!
