Where to stay on the Rob Roy Way

Night-by-night accommodation from Drymen to Pitlochry — what's actually at each stop, and where booking ahead matters.

Back to the full Rob Roy Way guide

The overall picture

Well-served but book ahead in peak season. Pubs and B&Bs at every stop. B&Bs and small hotels in Aberfoyle, Callander, Strathyre, Killin, Aberfeldy and Pitlochry; Booking.com and the route's own guide-book listing both work well. Wild camping in the hills between is straightforward.

A cottage instead of a bunkhouse

Pitlochry is the finish — a cottage there beats the drive home the same day, and the town earns an extra night.

Rob Roy Way accommodation — common questions

How many nights is the Rob Roy Way?
The standard itinerary runs 6 walking days, which means 5 nights on the trail between Drymen and Pitlochry — plus a night at either end if you're travelling far to the start or home the morning after finishing.
How far ahead should you book beds on the Rob Roy Way?
In the peak months (April, May, June, July, August, September) — yes, book ahead; the overnight stops are small places with limited beds and they fill weeks out. Off-season you have more slack, but phone ahead anyway: some accommodation closes entirely outside the walking season.
Is there luggage transfer on the Rob Roy Way?
Yes — Sherpa Van Project and AMS Bag Transfer Scotland move bags between overnight stops on the Rob Roy Way (from around £10 per bag per day), so you can walk with a day pack. Book transfer once your accommodation is fixed — operators need the exact overnight addresses.
