The Clachan Inn - A historic pub with walker-friendly rooms, local Scottish cuisine, and an extensive whisky selection

Located in the heart of Drymen village, The Clachan Inn is Scotland's oldest licensed pub, offering cozy accommodations designed for walkers on the West Highland Way. The 3-star property features twin rooms with shared or private facilities, power showers, and individual beds, priced between £70 and £75 per room. The on-site restaurant serves Scottish dishes like Cullen Skink and Haggis Bon Bons, with fresh ingredients sourced locally, and a new pizza oven enhances the menu. The Clachan Inn boasts an extensive whisky collection, including selections from nearby distilleries like Auchentoshan and Glengoyne. Drymen serves as the first overnight stop for West Highland Way hikers, and the inn provides baggage transfer assistance. A continental breakfast is available each morning at The Clachan Inn.

Pros

The historic pub setting includes a log fire and a mix of locals and tourists, creating a lively atmosphere.

Rooms are tailored for walkers, with comfortable beds and power showers.

The restaurant serves locally sourced Scottish dishes, including freshly prepared pizzas.

An extensive whisky selection features regional distilleries, with staff available for recommendations.

Cons

Shared bathroom facilities are available in some rooms.

“The Clachan Inn, a 3-star property in Drymen, strikes me as a particularly welcoming place, where the staff seems adept at creating a convivial atmosphere. I noted the food gets consistent praise, and the presence of a garden exclusively for guests staying at the inn is a definite plus. It's the kind of place that seems to genuinely prioritize guest comfort.”
