Where to stay in Croftfoot
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Castlemilk House is the one draw. Croftfoot itself is housing, so a bed here comes from the streets around Croftpark Avenue rather than from any hotel, and the choice is really between the Glasgow side toward King's Park and the Rutherglen side toward Spittal and Bankhead. King's Park Church stands on Castlemilk Road.
Anyone with business in the Linn ward will find the position convenient; sightseers will not.
