About this property

Extended Victorian Manor House With Conservatory / large Garden, sleeps 12

2 minute walk to sea. There is plenty to explore in the area and a good place to walk is 2 miles away at Ardmore point with unique rock formations, sea cliffs, fishing and is a notable bird watching area. Also worth a visit is Dumbarton Castle and Rock, 5 miles away. Dumbarton Castle has a longer recorded history than any other castle in Britain! Cardross has its own golf course, established 120 years ago, as well as a bowling, tennis and football club. Local attractions include Ardardan Estate Working Farm with a nursery and tea room and nearby Geilston Garden. Looked after by the National Trust for Scotland, Geilston is a delightful garden and is typical of the small country estates on the banks of the Clyde purchased by merchants and industrialists in the 18th and 19th centuries. Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park is very close - it's just 6 miles to Balloch on the south shore of the loch. This beautiful area has so much to offer, both on and off the water.

Review
Rented for a month and it was initially difficult to get fresh clean bedding changes. House advertised for 12 but lacked sufficient glasses, mugs (had to buy), sharp kitchen knives, working can opener, floor mop, up to date trash collection notification etc....hot water tank and heater burst not repaired during last nine days of rent. Parking inadequate as owner requested access at all times. Hot water

Beautiful Wedding Retreat
We arrived on Monday from our four day stay in Glasgow. We started with 5 people and increased to 9 by Wednesday afternoon. The space is beautifully laid out with ample bedrooms and bathrooms. The greenhouse in the back was the preferred space. It was tranquil and beautiful with many flowering trees and shrubs. The train was a quick walk down a seaside walkway. The Aga in the kitchen was a real treat to work with and proved to be perfect for our self catered party. Our host shared some local sites to explore and we had a beautiful hike in Loch Lomond. Highly recommend this site for small groups. The Cardross Inn has a lovely breakfast just down the road.

Wonderful property in a beautiful little town
The Springvale manor is an absolutely beautiful property that is clearly well loved and cared for. The surrounding area is quiet and peaceful. It was a quick walk to the train station, the local grocery store, and even the ruins of an old castle! We could not have enjoyed our stay more and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone staying with a large party. I would love to stay here again in tbe future.

Absolute Perfection
We had been planning this trip for 4 years now. Several households, 11 people including two small children under five. And Springvale was absolute perfection. James was a perfect host who let us postpone our trip when covid cancelled it last year and gave us all the information we needed once we arrived to the charming town of Cardross. The house had so much space, everyone had their own spaces, there was a large dining room where we shared meals, and the gardens were perfect for the kids to run around in all day. 10 minute walk to the train station. Cute pub right down the street. Could not have done asked for a better spot.

Wonderful getaway
Our delegation of ten from around the world came for the climate negotiations and this was the perfect getaway. The house was charming and in a beautiful location, yet very easy to get to Glasgow center. It was just what we needed!

About the host

Hosted by james mcmanus

Host profile image
I was born in Helensburgh have lived in the area for over 30 years. I have 3 children in their 20's one in the USA and two in Scotland. My mother lives in Dunoon. Currently I live and work in London. The area has always been a fantastic playground for me with everything that I need, Glasgow is easy to get to by train or car, the airport is nearby, it's the gateway to the Highlands beside loch Lomond. Cardoss is very much a highland/lowland village and I love going down the beach to skim stones or walk out on the mud flats at low tide.

Why they chose this property

Cardross is a conservation village and was the home of "Robert the Bruce". Springvale was built circa 1860, extended 1970 and has recently had new jack and jill ensuites and additional bathrooms installed to Edwardian standard.

Covid 19 cleaning policies and procedures are in place.

Current Scottish government information is that we have been told to prepare for reopening on 15 July 2020. Springvale will be taking bookings from 26 April 2021onwards.

What makes this property unique

Near the city but very rural and by the sea.
