What guests think

At The Clachan Inn, reviewers highlight a welcoming historic pub atmosphere, friendly staff, and clean, comfortable rooms, with many praising tasty dinners and the scenic Drymen location convenient for West Highland Way walkers and exploring the Loch Lomond area.

Some rooms are small or basic, accessed by steep stairs, with a few using shared or separate bathrooms and occasional kitchen noise reported. Dinner wins consistent praise, but breakfast is not provided or is limited at times, and some guests used the bakery across the road. Showers receive particular praise. Overall, expect an authentic inn experience rather than a modern hotel stay.

The Clachan is a gem! It’s a wonderful pub and restaurant and the guest rooms are ideal for a stay near Loch Lomond or for the first stop along the west highland way! Can’t recommend highly enough.

Loved staying in this old pub. Comfortable room, a bit noisy as we were near the back kitchen, but not a real problem. Staff was superb. Bar was excellent. Enough on street parking was available though not always in front of the inn. Lovely town "square" across street.

What a cute town. What an amazing property steeped in history. Of course it is old. Look at the sign. 1734. Don't expect the ritz but the service and the food in the restaurant is amazing.

We stayed here as it was on a list I had for locations to stay. Easy to get to the Loch Lomond area and a short jump to Stirling or Glasgow. The rooms were clean, the staff were wonderful, and we enjoyed the bar and the conversation with some local folks. Spar just across the street. This is a nice place, and I'd stay here again.
