This friendly, family-run bed and breakfast accommodation is situated in the peaceful village of Drymen, offering beautiful natural surroundings and complimentary tea or coffee.

Bramblewood acts as a warm, welcoming base from which to tap your host’s local knowledge of this striking area on the eastern side of Loch Lomond. A caring and personal touch will provide you with economical and comfortable accommodation, situated within a tranquil woodland setting.

Having been recently developed, upgrading its exceptional bed and breakfast standards, 3 well-appointed en suite rooms offer benefits such as a private TV.

Enjoy free tea or coffee on arrival, along with a private dining area overlooking the gardens. It is here that you can savour a full cooked Scottish breakfast or an extensive continental alternative before embarking on your discovery of Drymen, central Scotland, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. Loch Lomond shores are met from Drymen’s own Endrick Water. Drymen lies on the road from Glasgow to Aberfoyle, making it accessible to both Glasgow and the Trossachs. Drymen is a popular base for hill walkers, as it is only 22.5 km (14 miles) along the Loch before you reach Rowardenna, at the foot of Scotland’s southernmost Munroe, Ben Lomond. Many walkers of the West Highland Way pass through Drymen, a 153 km (95-mile) trek that starts in Milngavie, north of Glasgow and ends in Fort William. Part of the West Highland Way can be pursued on a trip to Drymen (e.g. Drymen to Balmaha, which normally takes about a day).

Aside from walking there are golfing facilities nearby at the Buchanan Golf Course. Fishing permits can be obtained locally and also in nearby Balmaha, which offers cruises to Loch Lomond. There are many cycle routes and bike hire can be obtained locally in Drymen village.

Places to visit by car include Scotland’s National Park. Taste your favourite malt at Glengoyne distillery, near Killearn. Visit the last paddle steamer of Loch Lomond, Maid of the Loch, at Balloch.

If your trip is planned for the summer months, you can enjoy the traditional pipe band that plays on the village green every Thursday throughout July and August. Also in the summer there are Highland games and many neighbouring festivals.

Drymen has all the facilities you will require including a bank, post office, supermarket, arts and crafts shop, outdoors shop, several restaurants and pubs. There is also a local tourist information office where you can expect expert advice and information about planning your visit.
