We are very happy to return to the popular Winnock Hotel in Drymen, situated in a beautiful part of Scotland close to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. Our inclusive break comes complete with entertainment each evening, scenic visits, and a cruise on Loch Lomond.

The 3 star hotel is located in the centre of the attractive village of Drymen and proved popular with our clients for many years, not least because of its warm welcome and attention to detail.
