Breakfast
Your breakfast will be served in our homely dining room between 8.00 and
9.00 a.m. If you would like an earlier breakfast we are happy to discuss
this with you.
We appreciate that after a couple of weeks “B&Bing” a cooked breakfast can become repetitive, so we offer a diverse choice of the regulars with some mouth-watering differences...
We offer a range of traditional evening Scottish meals but we do require 48 hours notice to prepare a meal to suit your wishes and dietary requirements. Our evening meals are usually served at 7.30 p.m. Please speak to us if you would like a slightly earlier time.
As we do not have an alcohol license, we are happy for you to supply your own drink and we can chill your white wine or open and let your red wine breathe.... Oh! and if you are from Oz, yes we can freeze your beer glasses too!
We use either home or locally grown produce, when available. All meat and fish are sourced locally. Please note that NUTS are used in our kitchen.
Drynachan Tours
Many of our guests are not used to driving on the “correct
side” of the road and it can become very tiring for the
designated driver in your party. So why not take a day out (especially
our American or antipodean guests who are
on the grand tour and covering a lot of mileage) and let your driver actually
enjoy the scenery as well?
On the other hand you may like a rest from driving completely, in which
case we can pick you up from Edinburgh,
Glasgow, Aberdeen or Inverness airports, or train stations and take you
on a tour of the Highlands to suit you.
Based here at Drynachan - the heart of the Highlands - we can take you
on some of the suggested tours, where
our knowledge of the area will take your trips to a special level.
A visit to those favourite distilleries and a taste of those special
“expressions”, can be enjoyed without worrying
about driving. You choose the distilleries (island whiskies are dependent
on ferry timetables). We can transport
you and maybe give away some of the secrets en route........
Many of these tours have been enjoyed by our previous guests, and we
hope these suggestions will enrich your
holiday, whether you choose to drive yourself or we take you. Drynachan
has maps here for you to borrow, with
the complete itinerary printed out to help you enjoy your day trip.
Packed lunches or complete picnics can be supplied to make the days even more special. Please note that costs do not include any entrance or admission fees.
