The Drymen Inn

We had a brilliant stay at The Drymen Inn on the 1st November. My friends and I were going to a ‘sip and paint’ night at The Art Studio just round the corner. We booked the family room. It was clean, comfortable and very cosy. There was a Halloween party on when we got back and the staff went all out to make us feel welcome. We had a great night! After a great sleep we had a very tasty full Scottish breakfast, again, service was excellent. We enjoyed it so much we’re making it a yearly event! Thanks to all the staff. We’ll definitely be back for lunch/dinner soon!

This was our final stop after a tour around the Scottish highlands and Outer Hebrides. It was the most expensive stay so our expectations were high.|On arrival, the bar was busy but we soon got our room keys and made our way to the Conic Suite. Initial impression was good. The room was clean and spacious.|However, the blind on the velux window was broken and took time and patience to wedge it shut. The television did not work. The staff, although friendly and courteous were too busy to help. We managed the blind and retuned the television ourselves (although we could only get BBC programmes).|Dinner in the bar was very nice and breakfast was good, but nothing exceptional.|After our first night's stay, the room was not refreshed. Having the bed remade is not an issue, but we did not expect having to ask for more teabags, milk and, embarrassingly, toilet paper. Clean mugs would have been appreciated.|For the pricetag, we would have expected toiletries other than a dispenser of generic soap in the shower.|All in all, an expensive and disappointing stay. 2 stars given instead of 1 because the bed was comfortable, the staff were pleasant (although busy) and the location is good. Could do better!

What a lovely hotel. Staff are so friendly and obliging. The service from Kerr and Vic was first class. Then there’s the pie. What can I say other than that turkey and ham pie was amazing. So glad we decided on a whim to drive this way and book a wee overnighter. All I can say is I can’t wait for my breakfast.😇😊

Absolutely fantastic food! I should have taken photos to include, but unfortunately didn't. I had the spicy chicken enchiladas and they were fab. Loads of chicken inside. The portions were massive, I couldn't finish all my meal as there was so much. The other three dining with me also thoroughly enjoyed their meals (venison lasagnes and burger). Staff were really friendly too. I would highly recommend this place.

hi Team, thank you for your great hospitality. We stayed at your place for the first time last week, but will definitely return. The service, athmosphere, breakfast and the twin room (Dumgoyne) was just awesome. We have also enjoyed the good conversation with Stewart. It was fun to see how he did his best to offer your choice of Islay whiskys. In the end it was a Bunnahabain 12yrs, which I liked very much. Keep going and enjoy :) Cya soon Andy

Only gave a 4* as we didn’t eat, but from the menu and the food that we seen coming out of the kitchen I think it won’t be long before I upgrade the score. Other than that the staff where lovely, the drinks where too. Said we would be back and we did. Food was lovely. Sorry forgot to take a photo before starting to eat.

Traditional hotel with nice atmosphere probably could do with a bit of modernisation but has lots of character. Room 22 was clean and plenty room for us. Lovely staff

We stayed at a campsite down the road and came here for a good breakfast before we left. The food was fantastic, the staff were welcoming and it was a lovely pub! We actually forgot some sunglasses and they kindly posted them back up to us - can’t recommend enough.

They have 5 guest rooms, themselves. But they also have a restaurant and bar. Inside and outside dining is available. We are staying at the Braeside, 2 building behind them, and this is where you get your breakfast in the morning. If you choose that package.

We stopped only for a pint beer and Cider after day 1 of the West Highland Way, the garden is comfortable and we enjoyed our drinks in calm with other hikers

Walking into a quiet pub (5 locals sat at the bar) and hearing comment passed on your arrival is always a bit annoying, particularly in somewhere the size of Drymen which only has 4 pubs, all of which must benefit from the trade of walkers and other visitors. Rude local bloke aside The Drymen Inn wasn't a bad spot for a pint. At least one beer on handpull, varied & comfy seating, reasonable decor and not bad tunes.

Nice pub with a nice little beer garden out the back with big umbrellas for that unpredictable Scottish weather. Food is decent, I had the chicken tikka with pepper sauce which was lovely and they were showing the football which was a plus for one of us.... Also solid baby changing facilities but it was really hot in the bathroom for some reason?

Great place to go - and reasonably priced as well. Chicken parmigiana with a sweet red sauce - hubby had fish. Portions were big! Yay! Leftovers!

Would rate the food as good. Nothing exceptional. There's better down the street at the Clachan, but the hotel itself was very good. Nice room, friendly staff and convenient (for Scotland) parking. If you are staying in the Drymen area I would definitely recommend the Drymen Inn.

Arrived to chose our own table. Dirty floors (food not swept away), tables are sticky. Waitress served us like she was in a hurry. She told us the cakes were in the main area (like we were supposed to know that) and to take a look ourselves. Made our selection and made our order.. drinks and cakes arrived quite quickly, the same waitress rushed and dropped a drink on the floor, luckily the glass did not smash but some of the drink landed on my son's 3 day old trainers!! She said it was an accident and she she did not do it on purpose (?!) We were not asked to move while the floor was mopped up, a replacement drink arrived, drinks and food were great and tasty. The waitress said the drinks will be discounted. Went to pay, and ended up paying for 3 cakes instead of 4, the costs of the drinks were no applied to the bill Food and drinks were great. Just hopefully you get a server who is not in a rush!

Your generic pub food here. Came here for dinner and the food was great. They have a large conservatory section which is quite nice to sit in. The waiter we had was very friendly and chatty, I believe he was the owner of the Drymen Inn. There is also a carpark nearby so is convenient for parking.

Nice place to stop after trudging for a day on the WHW. Recommended: smoked haddock w/risotto and the wonderful grilled salmon.

This place is a wonderful place to stay. Great food and greater hospitality with a nice view. Relaxing in the restaurant in the morning with a cup of tea is the best way to start a morning. If Scottish charm is what you're looking for look no further. This was a wonderful stay for me and my family
