Large, bright and modern apartment.

The apartment was clean, bright and nicely furnished. It was also very easy to find and only a short walk into Drymen for groceries, restaurants etc. Very close to Loch Lomond and an easy drive.

Lovely 2 bedroom cottage

This is a beautiful property. We really enjoyed our stay and meeting Collin, his wife and their pets. The beds were comfortable and coffee and tea was provided. The cottage was an easy walk into town for dinner at the Clachan. We would stay here again.

Lovely Property

We stayed one night on our way back to Edinburgh. The property is lovely and we especially enjoyed the sheep who grazed near our windows. Colin is a lovely host. The communication was always prompt and he gave us a great recommendation for dinner.

Country Living at its best

The unit was perfect for us as we are two couples and the unit was equal in every way, The bathrooms were the best that we experienced in the three weeks that we have been travelling. The kitchen and sitting area was perfect and the parking was ideal. The location was a short walk to the local town that had a little bit of everything. The Clachan Pub and restaurant served up an ice cold pint of Guiness and easily the best food that we had on our entire trip.

The Knock was great

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at the Knock. We would go back there in a heartbeat. There are a few differences in the pictures that are shown on the VRBO site, but they are changes and upgrades to the furnishings made by the owner. It has two bedrooms and two baths. There is spacious parking for one or more cars. The owner is on site and is most helpful.

Great location

The rental was very comfortable and a great location. The property is attached to the main house, so there was some noise during our stay, but it did not interfere with sleeping at night.

Great spot

We were in the Loch Lomond area for a couple of days and this place and the little town of Drymen were exactly what we needed. Clean and modern and comfortable. The listing says 2 bedrooms but then lists a third bedroom which is not a room but two roll away cots. The kitchen is modern but not super well equipped, but fit for our purpose. We enjoyed our stay.

What a gem!

Our family of 5 loved this place! What a wonderful hideaway - wish we could have stayed longer! Decorated beautifully, fantastic bathrooms, it’s a home away from home. We would love to come back and enjoy it longer and take advantage of all the walking trails and the village of Drymen. It’s perfectly situated to enjoy Loch Lomond. Thank you Colin & fam for sharing your property.

Great location for a stylish apartment

Lovely well-equipped apartment which is very conveniently located for Glasgow, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. Local village of Drymen is a short walk away. Apartment is stylishly decorated and clearly a lot of thought has been given to both the design and the practicalities so bathrooms are well-fitted, the shower is spacious and effective and the beds are comfortable. Colin is friendly and helpful.

Perfect place to relax in luxurious surroundings

We had a wonderful stay here - the little touches like fresh coffee etc were very handy. The place was immaculate and the decor just stunning. Colin our host was very charming and was around if we needed anything, not that we did as we were fully catered for. Will definitely be back :)
