About the
Custom House Hotel
The Custom House Hotel in Bowling near Glasgow is a delightful 18thC historic building. Built to collect custom charges, ships and boats mooring and offloading all manner of goods that would then be transported by the local railway to all over Scotland. Bowling once was a busy bustling harbour with ships and boats coming from all over the country and the world.
Today it is a beautiful quiet boutique hotel ideal for romantic getaways, staging point for touring around the local area and further afield with access to the motorway or just hopping onto the train, just a short walk from the hotel. The Botanic Gardens, the Riverside Museum of Transport and the stunning Kelvingrove Art Gallery are only 16 km – if you are off to the SSE Hydro to see your favourite band or attending any of the many events which you can do quickly via the motorway network.
The Custom house features a garden and quiet terrace which is ideal for those lazy breakfasts or to soak up the quiet scenery with a glass of wine, if the Scottish weather is not so great then ‘Coorie’ down in the small lounge area with real fire and enjoy the complimentary coffees and breakfasts.
