The Spotlight on The Drymen Inn

Cosy Country Retreat Near the Action

Modern comfort meets rustic charm at The Drymen Inn, tucked away in the scenic heart of Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park. Surrounded by rolling hills and countryside, this inn offers a peaceful, stylish base that’s still within easy driving distance of Glasgow’s top music venues. With warm hospitality, home-cooked meals, and inviting spaces like its glasshouses and log fire lounge, it’s a cosy escape for music lovers needing to unwind.

Why Concert-goers love it

Though it offers a tranquil setting, The Drymen Inn is just around a 45-minute drive from both Glasgow and Edinburgh airports—ideal for flying in for a big show. The countryside location means you’ll enjoy a quiet night’s sleep even after a loud gig, and with free Wi-Fi throughout, you can easily stream pre-show playlists or post-concert photos. The flexible 3:00 PM check-in gives you time to settle in before your show, and breakfast after a lie-in is a welcome bonus for post-concert mornings.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to explore the area by day and gig by night
  • Solo travelers seeking a scenic base before heading to a bucket-list concert
  • Couples making a romantic weekend of a live music event
  • Fans needing a peaceful recovery space after a loud night
  • Budget-conscious music lovers wanting comfort without the city-center price tag

Food and Drink Options

Start your day with a hearty Scottish breakfast and wind down with seasonal, home-cooked meals served in the restaurant or the cosy glasshouses. While there’s no 24-hour room service, the inn’s dining options are perfect for a relaxed evening bite. You’ll also find nearby village pubs and eateries within walking distance for a casual pre- or post-show meal.

Nightlife Options

While The Drymen Inn doesn’t have on-site live music, its inviting bar and glasshouse spaces offer a great place to sip local drinks and chat about the night’s performance. If you're craving more nightlife, Glasgow’s vibrant bar and club scene is just a drive away—easy to reach if you’re heading back from a late gig.

What People Say

Guests love the warm, welcoming staff, the comfortable beds, and the peaceful location—perfect for recharging after a high-energy night. Many highlight the excellent food and charming atmosphere. The easy access to both the natural beauty of Loch Lomond and the big-city venues of Glasgow makes it a popular choice for music fans who like a balance of excitement and calm.

Areas for Improvement

While the inn provides plenty of countryside charm, those without a car may find transport options limited—especially late at night. Also, being in a quiet village, it's not the spot for those craving a buzzing post-show party scene.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for peace, comfort, and charm after a big show, The Drymen Inn is a perfect countryside escape that still keeps you connected to the music scene.

Pleasant

Liked: The place was nice, the pub downstairs and the staff are really nice people. The breakfast was awsome.
Disliked: I paid more money for my single room with dinner and breakfast included than my two friends and their dog. For a way cheaper price they had a much more beautiful and larger room plus they, of course, had 2 meals included contrary to me being single. It is nobody's fault but I felt the whole service was overpriced while they were happy with their budget stay.

A great traditional Scottish pub...

Liked: Great location - down the road from Ben Lomond the most southerly munro, 45mins from Glasgow. Traditional pub, great food, friendly welcoming staff, clean well equipped rooms. Great value! Thanks!
Disliked: The pub was noisy on a Wednesday night but you expect that from a popular local!

A welcome sight at the...

Liked: The staff ( Jackie) checked us in, served us at bar and breakfast the next day, very friendly and efficient and works hard.
Disliked: We stayed on a Sat night and they had live music which was very loud ( excellent band ) but we had been up from 4am and had an early start the next morning Jackie did tell us when we checked in. Maybe just don’t book over the weekend if you need your sleep but understand the bar has to run these nights to bring in the people. By midnight it was all over and we slept well.

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!
