Pros:

Frances is such a brilliant host. I arrived to tea and freshly baked scones and a lovely chat after my 3 hour drive from Loch Ness. The shared kitchen/lounge has plenty of room for guests and my room was large and spotlessly clean. I had the opportunity to chat to other guests and in the evening a short walk took me to the Village Green where the pipe band was playing. I had dinner at The Clachan, which was recommended by Frances, and I was not disappointed. Drymen is a lovely village to stopover with everything at your fingertips and a friendly welcoming community. Highly recommed a stay with Frances at Kip in the Kirk. Wish I could have stayed longer than one night.

Properry is absolutely beautiful and beyond sparkling clean. Our host is a lovely lady who is incredibly thoughtful and a delight to meet! She recommended the local pub (The Clachan) to eat and mentioned we would need to book which we did, honestly the best meal weve ever had! Will definately be back

Comfy cottage
Pros:

We actually stayed in Hillview Cottage in Drymen owned by the same person Frances. A bit cold at first but once the heat came through it was adequate. Very comfortable, bright and immaculate. Frances delivered continental breakfast in the morning and later joined us for a blather.
Great host and cottage. We hope to return next year.

Wonderful
Pros:

I was lucky enough to book here at short notice after another hotel in Glasgow cancelled on me but didnt think to tell me about it. I was made to feel very welcome throughout, slept like a log (a snoring one as it turns out!) and was very refreshed the following morning. The place was spotless and had a wonderful warm charm about it. Although I ended up here in a needs must situation I'm glad I did and would absolutely stay again.

Pros:

Warm and welcoming hosts, great advice on where to travel to, nice continental breakfast with homemade marmelade and good conversation.

The mattress was a bit uncomfortable (complaining on high level) and the pub next door played loud music until late into the night, which was a bit distracting as we had a long drive before and tried sleeping early.

All in all: I can only recommend booking a room at this sweet BnB!
