The Drymen Inn

Liked: Great value for money with lovely food. Friendly staff, very clean and perfect location on West Highland Way.
Disliked: Room a bit small for 2 people but fine for one night.

Superb

Liked: The BEST PORRIDGE I ever tasted!! And the fluffiest pillows on the bed. Super friendly staff who are happy to share tips about anything. For dinner some signature dishes were not available anymore which just goes to show how popular they are. Definitely order a packed lunch if you're going up Conic Hill the next day!

Liked: Exceptional breakfast, splendid full scottish breakfast

Extremely loud music playing until...

Liked: I enjoyed my evening meal- vegetarian enchiladasThe staff were pleasant enough during any interactionsThe inn was central with a shop close by and parking a short distance awayThere was a nice selection of water, tea and coffee- although I didn't use most of itThe room was very compact but that was fine for a one night stay
Disliked: The room had extremely small over bed wardrobes that were useless for hanging anything in- they were too short even for a jacket to hang without getting crushed at the bottom.I also didn't appreciated being served the "sauteed vegetables" for breakfast which were in fact the exact same filling as had been in my enchiladas the night before- for £12 the breakfast consisted of the previously mentioned vegetables , a fried egg (I wasn't given an option of how I would like an egg prepared) mushrooms, one potato scone , and a grilled tomato breakfast probably cost around £1.50 to prepare.My biggest annoyance, however, was the noise levels. I had seen on the booking that there could be some associated noise as it was a busy pub so had planned and taken my ear buds to wear to drown out any noises (having stayed in inns/ pubs before I had a reasonable expectation)What I didn't expect was the noise level to be so loud that the floor was vibrating, I couldn't even hear the tv over the music, and even trying to wear noise reducing earphones to listen to music couldn't drown out the music coming up from the pub. There was also a seating area (?smoking area) outside the bedroom window so there was constant sing-a-longs going on from the outside area.I'm not a bah-humbug kind of a person but that level of noise was not was what suggested when I read the booking- just be honest and say- yep- if you were hoping for a 9.30pm bedtime because you were knackered from a full day of activity then don't stay here as you will not be able to get any sleep until about mid-night when the music goes off and all the happy pub customers make their way home.I took a recording of my tv playing while the music was going on and have shown it to several people who all agree that the level of noise was way out of order- even for a pub. I would definitely not have booked here if I'd known - I'd been as well sitting in the bar itself.

Okish
