Ashbank is a Victorian sandstone villa sitting proudly in the heart of the conservation village of Drymen, on the East side of Loch Lomond. Overlooking the village square and enjoying elevated views of the surrounding rolling countryside and hills our central location makes us popular with walkers completing the first leg of the West Highland Way. As well as being popular with West Highland Way walkers, Ashbank Bed & Breakfast and Drymen is the perfect base to explore Loch Lomond and the Trossachs area. Our modern en-suite bedrooms offer comfortable and convenient accommodation in a beautiful setting.

our host Tommy greeted warmly after our first day hiking the west highland way. Our rooms were lovely and spotless, breakfast was perfect and our packed lunch was delicious. Additionally, his recommendations for dinner at the Clachan Inn was perfect!

Wonderful, warm, welcome from Tommy. Room was light, bright and beautifully furnished. The room was spotlessly clean. We had a great night sleep. Breakfast was cooked to order and offered flexibility. Location in Drymen was perfect for WHW walkers. In the am just walked up the hill to join the trail. Highly recommended.

We stayed one night after our first day of walking on the WHW-- this was a comfortable and relieving stop. The hosts were very friendly and helpful, and the place was clean and spacious. The shower was anticipated, and turned out to be spacious and with great pressure. Breakfast was delicious, and the packed lunches are great as well! Convenient to several pubs and shops.

Our first stop along the WHW. Right in the centre of the village and behind a very popular pub. Super clean throughout. Comfortable beds and great shower. Delicious scrambled eggs and smoked salmon for breakfast. Very friendly hosts.

We stayed one night after our first day of the West Highland Way and appreciated the wonderful warm shower (with excellent water pressure!) and delicious breakfast. The bed was a bit hard for us but that’s a matter of personal preference. The packed lunches were lovely and the property was sparkling clean, welcoming, and very comfortable.

Clean rooms, friendly welcome, excellent breakfast. Tommy does some of the best scrambled eggs that I have ever had. Good knowledge of the local area. Definitely will try and book here if we return to this area. Recommend making sure that you can get dinner in the Clachan Inn which is the best place in the area.

We stayed while walking the West Highland Way. Hosts were very welcoming, and the room was lovely. Thoughtfully decorated and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was good. The B&B is ideally situated in the village and we would recommend a stay here
