Grand Tour of Scotland: Rail & Hike

The hotel was built as a private hunting lodge for the Colquhoun family around 1851. It was first opened as a hotel in 1886 and two years later the east wing was added, while the west wing was added by 1905. The hotel today is painted white due to the three different types of stone used to build the main building & each of the two wings.

This hotel is one of the friendliest and most intimate hotels in Loch Lomond. With 10 en-suite rooms they offer a relaxed accommodation with great views across the northern shores.

Beinglas Campsite is situated directly on the West Highland Way at the stage of Inverarnan and is within easy walking distance of the village centre.  They have abar and restaurant – The Stagger Inn – which offers a cosy setting to eat, drink, socialise or recharge. Throughout summer there will be live music on site to enhance your stay and celebrate our Scottish culture. 

The Drovers Inn dates back to the 1800s. Packed full of history, it has been a welcomed, cosy stop for the weary hunters and travellers passing through the highlands for hundreds of years.

When there is no availability in the original building, there are an additional 16 rooms in the lodge across the road, these are more modern chalet style rooms. Regardless of where you are staying, you are free to relax in the bar & lounge areas, and indulge in hearty Scottish cuisine and perhaps a dram of local whisky.
