The Cottage Drymen in Drymen, Stirling, United Kingdom | Bed and Breakfast

The Cottage Bed and Breakfast is situated in a quiet hamlet 0.7 miles from Drymen, with views to Loch Lomond on approach, and so ideally situated for West Highland Way walkers at the end of their first days walk. The Rob Roy Way also starts at Drymen. There are several pubs in Drymen for evening meals, as well as local shops, art gallery, cashpoint, and a Post Office. The Oak Tree at Balmaha also provides excellent meals all day and you can walk along Loch Lomond after your meal.

The Cottage dates back to the 18th century when the Duke of Montrose built Buchanan Smithy for the estate workers, close to his then home at Buchanan Castle, which is now a golf course. The name Buchanan Smithy comes from the presence of a number of Blacksmiths working in the Smithy here. Now extended an tastefully renovated, The Cottage provides a cosy and comfortable stay in some of Scotland's most beautiful countryside.

Loch Lomond itself is a 5 minute drive from The Cottage, and further afield are other interesting places to visit such as Stirling Castle (30 minutes) the Wallace Monument, Inverary (1 hour), Glencoe (2 hours). The Trossachs are reached within 15 minutes by car, also providing great opportunities for walking, mountain biking and boat trips on Loch Katrine. We are also in a great location if you are coming from further South on route to the Highlands, and want to break the journey overnight before going North. If cities are more your thing, Glasgow is 35 minutes by car and provides a wealth of interesting things to see and do.
