Rugby Trip to support Northampton Saints.
Visited to attend Glasgow Warriors game against Northampton Saints. Great down to earth accommodation, excellent shower and wash room facilities. Wonderful stone built town house with many original features. Common room was very quiet a good place to read / relax. Excellent position for train station. Very good budget priced overnight accommodation. Will use again when visiting Glasgow.
