Sitting at Ardlui at the very top of Loch Lomond, i've never heard a bad word said about the Drovers Inn. The Drovers Inn is certainly dusty, it's old and the rooms could do with some upgrading but I wouldn't change the place for the world.
On a cold winters evening when you're sitting in the Drovers Inn bar next to an open fire and you then have to sneek past a variety of stuffed animals to get to your bed, there's just nothing like it in the world!
Waking up (usually with a bit of a hangover) to the sound of the Drovers Inn geese being fed outside your window is an experience to say the least. A traditional Scottish fry up breakfast later and you can walk up to the Falls of Falloch which is where the Falloch river pours into Loch Lomond. The Falls of Falloch is one of the best places to get pictures in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs national park but it's obviously up against some pretty stiff competition!
Be warned though, the Drovers Inn is a popular place in the summer and you'll be hard pushed to get a room at the weekend without booking well in advance. Even if you don't get a chance to stay there, make sure you pop in for a pint if you get the chance.
Doubles en suite are about £70 a night and there are even modern Jacuzzi rooms across the road from the original Drovers building.
This place is a must, so make sure you go. For more details simply follow this link to the Drovers Inn website
