THE LAND OF ‘PUB’
BUT HUB PUBS AND loops are increasingly becoming my plat du jour: Rather than packing it all up each morning and moving on, now give me a decent pub for a few nights and daily loop rides to one of the surrounding quadrants before returning to the known territory of my room, my bed and, yes, my slippers.
Small countries with proximate diversity – countries like Scotland – are just perfect for this and the Drovers Inn at Inverarnan, beside the River Falloch which feeds into the north end of Loch Lomond an hour north of Glasgow is a perfect hub for taking in the west of the country.
Their booking system is crap – you pay ten quid deposit on line but then 72 hours before you arrive you have to ring them and quote your CC details to secure your room. Cumbersome and dumb but when I booked two nights I got the response that anyone doing that gets the third night free.
