House looked fascinating - but do check the opening times. It was closed on the Wednesday we visited it. Will come back to look inside.

Recently visited this fascinating and historical location,great to see it has now had many of Greek Thompson’s original features restored,easy to navigate the rooms and there’s loads of information cards in each room also helpful and informative staff on hand if you should require.Be sure to visit the tea room,good selection of scones and cakes as well as a variety of teas and coffee,a bit cramped when busy but worth it for a wee break,lovely gardens beautifully kept and ample free parking.Run by The National Trust so there is an entrance fee if not a member but well worth it to see this piece of local history being cared for and back in the public domain.

This is an architectural and historical gem. Acquired by the National Trust it has been restored to its original state, a fantastical mid Victorian seat for a self made man and his family. Designed by Alexander Thompson in what he imagined to be a Greek style it is more reminiscent of the faux Egyptian style of the Art Deco period. There is a small tea room, and you can visit the Snuff Mill bridge about half a mile away along the White Cart river. There is a guided tour - very well done. Add this to a tour including the Macintosh house and the typical tenement (also NT) and you get a real feel for Victorian Glasgow.

A great place to spend an hour or so, tour was good. Not for full day out though.

What an amazing house - stunning restoration A lovely visit. Guide was excellent - his knowledge and presentation were great. Will be back Alison Young

Great restoration work going on here. NT only had 1% of the original decor to work from but the progress to today's condition is phenomenal. The guided tour was around 50mins and very interesting as our guide clearly knew her stuff. We didn't use the Tearoom but inside and outside seating was available in a pleasant setting.

Very interesting, well organized and guides very informed.

Thoroughly enjoyed walking around the inside of this amazing building. Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared a wealth of interesting information with us including details of her own input during the restoration. We will very likely be visiting again.

A hidden gem in a beautiful part of Glasgow. The grounds and gardens are fantastic, great for an afternoon amble or dog walk. The Victorian Kitchen garden looks amazing with some fantastic fruit, veg and herbs on show. The house itself is a great example of Alexander Thomson's architectural artistry and well worth a look.

Good opportunity for gaining information about the one of the most important architects in Scotland who is Thomson the Greek and lovely to see the luxurious house which was built 1858. Love it 😊

Great visit to holmwood house - fascinating buildong with a great history. Card machine was temperamental so advise taking cash for entry or coffee shop! Volunteers were informative and friendly.

Holmwood House is a very special place,you'll know what I mean if you ever pay it a visit. Volunteers on hand and they are very knowledgeable about Holmwood. A lovely old place, so glad it was saved for the nation.

We had an excellent tour from a lovely young Spanish guy. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the property and all Victorian buildings in Glasgow. He kept our interest throughout the tour. I would thoroughly recommend a visit to this property.

Beautiful location, knowledgeable guides and fair price. We really enjoyed the tour too! Perhaps some signage/info about exiting the grounds to get to Linn Park would be helpful.

Holmwood House has been beautifully and painstakingly restored, with rich displays of design and colour by 'Greek' Thompson. A very pleasing outing, with a nice cafe too!

Beautiful Alexander Greek Thomson house to visit. I hadn't been since the refurbishment and it is stunning. The details on the ceilings, walls and woodwork are amazing. We did the guided tour and our guide was very well informed and able to answer our questions. Well worth a visit ⭐

It's such a stunning engagement period building. They've done such an amazing job restoring it, and the staff there are so informative.

Great example of a private house made by Alexander Thomson.

Amazing place

My very first visit to Holmwood House. Having lived on it's doorstep for around 40 years I decided to see for myself what it had to offer , I was not disappointed . Owned by the National Trust for Scotland , my first impression was , what took me so long to visit such an interesting place. What made it such a good visit was the staff , from the minute I walked in the door I was very warmly welcomed by Jean who took the time in giving me a description of the House and the family behind it , it was very obvious she took great pleasure and pride in her role. During my visit I also met and spent time with Louise and Jim, the manager of Holmwood House who were welcoming, informative, knowledgeable and most importantly, friendly. I would highly recommend a visit to Holmwood House and I will certainly make return visits.

Nice house. Not a lot to see unless you an enthusiast.

Loved some of the architecture. Staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. Probably go back another time when the craft fayre isn't on for a better look round.

I was really looking forward to the ghost hunt and at £50 per ticket I expected a bit more than a "medium" who acted as a historian but not a medium, and his side kick. A paper angel "board" (tempted to write bored, so bored I fell asleep, I kid you not) and some toy lights that light up if there proximity is triggered were brought out. Other than the historian, sorry medium telling us about the history, that was that. Not worth a tenner never mind £50 quid. I wouldnt waste your time. I'd spend the money on a real medium. The thing is, I love anything to do with ghost hunting so to get such a bad rating from me (woulda been 0 if it let you) it would have to be really rubbish unless I slept through the good part.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful, beautiful views that can be admired in the villa, a little less for its architecture, in some places not appreciable at most in the structure, however recommended (Original) Molto bella, belli gli scorci che si ammirano nella villa, un po’ meno per la sua architettura, in alcuni punti non apprezzabile al massimo nella struttura, comunque consigliata

Alexander (greek) Thompson villa masterpiece. Nuf said.

website said it opened at 12pm, was still closed at 2pm

Absolutely worth it. One of the most impressive restorations I have seen in Glasgow. It was an excellent guided tour and very interesting and beautiful.

Very informative guided tour. Fascinating house. Well worth a visit.

Beautiful property. Good children's resource area but adults in same area rather grumpy!

The Holmwood house is lovely, buy the ticket at the cafe and they provide a 30 minute house tour every 30 minutes. They have a tea room too and a mini garden. This site is easily accessible by public transport, simply take bus number 6 from Glasgow City Center. Also 15 mins walk from here we could visit Linn Park as well as Linn waterfall.

An enchanting house with so much to see the more you look closely in every room, the place has its heart and learning about its story from the days it was owned by nuns makes it the perfect small outting on a wet day, can't wait to go back!

Very nice National Trust building, good restoration completed. Volunteer guide was very informative regards the history. Nice wee cafe for refreshments. Plenty parking if going by car.

Breathtaking example of "Greek" Thomson architecture and interior design.

Unbelievable venue for our daughter's wedding. Gorgeous grounds, rooms so atmospheric. Champagne reception in perfect location. Staff so helpful and professional. Thanks so much.

We only went to the cafe but it was excellent - we sat outside in the back with the dog and had a lovely cup of tea and a scone.

Visit the house, you won't be disappointed

A historic jewel in the Glasgow South location not widely known and has been used by many people throughout the years including a convent. Work is currently going on including research into the buildings history and is well worth a visit.

Nice place, what a pity it's closed - when it's supposed to be open. Quite concerning, anyone know what's going on?

Upstairs undergoing renovations, (should be all open now), so it was pay by donation to see the downstairs. Best guides ever: knowledgeable, warm and made us laugh. Wee tea room. Impressive house and garden.

Beautiful house. Upstairs being renovated so just took a donation. An older lady, can't remember her name, showed us round. She was wonderful and obviously passionate about Greek Thomson. She really made the place come to life and we learned so much from her. She is a total asset to the place. Thank you.

Well worth a visit with iinteresting and knowledgeable staff on hand to inform you, Very difficult, for me that is, to find the place but well worth the effort to get there.

Enjoyed our visit. Good for wedding Reception in Marquee.

A beautiful place to visit with lovely nature trails

Lovely venue & friendly, informative staff

Haunted House

Excellent Halloween day for kids

Beautiful building and the staff/volunteers have done an amazing job for Halloween

Very first house by Alexander"Greek" Thomson, really amazing architecture. Fantastic restoration by NTS. Nice cafe also.

the finest example of Alexander 'Greek' Thomson's architecture

Refurbished...if thats the right word??

Amazing interior

The visiting experience needs to be rethought. It is not stimulating, the interesting features are not being exploited

The NTS could spend a wee bit improving the path beside the river rather than fencing walkers out!,

Brilliant staff, great surroundings children frequently

Alexander Thomson at his very best. Only saw the outside of the house, coach house and grounds as the property was closed but will return soon to see the inside. Amazing detail all around for a mid 19th century property. The restoration work is first class and the grounds are beautifully maintained. Gardeners were there the day I visited. Quiet and peaceful amidst the busy southside Cathcart. ... I have returned and the inside is magnificent. A must see. The workmanship at the time was amazing and the restoration is superb. A lot has been done with more yet to do to complete all the rooms as they would have been when originally built.

Well worth a visit.. Interesting features.

Beautiful house and loving restoration

(Translated by Google) Place where you can relax and feel embraced by the majesty of the trees (Original) Luogo dove puoi rilassarti e sentirti abbracciare dalla maestosità degli alberi

Great wee visit we'll done national trust for opening this wee gem. We'll definitely be back

Ded good

Excellent visit

Local treasure!

Excellent example of Alexander Thomson's architecture.
