About 'The Houf'

Welcome to ‘The Houf’ and thank you for choosing the Houf for your stay in
Drymen. We really hope you love your accommodation and please make use of
our complimentary tea, coffee & sugar etc. To the rear of the property, residents

have access to a lovely communal garden-an inviting outdoor space ideal for enjoying the fresh air or socialising during warmer months. In addition, there is a large shared parking area at the rear, providing convenient off-street parking.

Drymen (pronounced Dri - min) is a vibrant village with lots to do and see in the
village itself but also within the surrounding area. Probably best known for its close
proximity to the beautiful Eastern shores of Loch Lomond (only 4 miles away)
and for its strategic position on the West Highland Way, a 96-mile hike from
Milngavie, on the outskirts of Glasgow, to Fort William which sits quietly below Ben
Nevis in the Highlands, Scotland's highest peak.

There are numerous places to eat out in Drymen itself, be it an evening meal or an
early morning coffee and homemade scone or croissant in The Drymen Bakery &
Deli or Skoosh. Lilypops (virtually next door) offers traditional home cooked
Italian, The Drymen Inn serves up traditional pup grub and often features live
music and quiz nights throughout the year. The Buchanan Arms boasts a gym,
swimming pool with jacuzzi and sauna which can be used by the general public for
a small fee. The Clachan Inn, just off the village square (first licenced in 1734 and
claims to be one of the oldest pubs in Scotland) serves up some exceptional
cuisine. The first licensee of this Inn is said to have been the sister of Scottish folk
hero and outlaw Rob Roy MacGregor, probably the reason why Drymen forms the
Western end of the Rob Roy Way, a 79-mile-long footpath created in 2002 which
traverses the countryside that Rob Roy knew and travelled frequently. Another
notable resident Billy Connolly lived in the village in the 1970’s.

We really do hope you enjoy your stay, feel free to use the local maps provided but
please leave them behind at the end of your stay for others to make use of.
However, if any of the paperbacks catch your eye and you don’t get the chance to
finish reading them, you are welcome to take them with you on your onward
journey!

If you find yourself with a few minutes to spare before you leave, it would be great
if you could leave us some feedback in the guest book provided. We are happy to
take the good with the bad as that’s the only way we can ensure that the
accommodation and services we provide, remain and are always first class.

Once again, thank you for choosing The Houf,
