The Winnock Hotel, The Square, Drymen

The Winnock Hotel, located in The Square, Drymen, is a late 18th or early 19th century building that has undergone alterations and additions. It features a 16-bay, two-storey terrace arranged in groups of three, five, five, and three, which likely originated as four separate properties or cottages that have now been combined into a hotel. The original cottage layout is most evident in the outer flanking three-bay sections of the main eastern elevation. The building is primarily harled, with the central ten-bay section made of painted rubble and some painted stone dressings. The principal elevation has painted architraves, except for the three-bay section on the outer right.

On the eastern (principal) elevation, the main ten-bay section is at the centre. There is a later 20th-century glazed flat-roofed entrance porch that spans the fourth and fifth bays from the left. The entrance features a glazed door in the second bay from the left and a part-glazed timber door in the third bay from the right, with a window in each remaining bay on both floors (the outer left ground floor window is elongated). The outer flanking three-bay sections have more widely spaced bays. The left section includes a later gabled entrance porch at the centre, with timber bargeboards and a finial, a window below a boarded timber gable, and a panelled timber door to the left return, along with flanking windows on each floor and one above. The central entrance to the outer right section has a part-glazed timber door, with flanking windows on each floor and one above.

The western elevation features substantial additions primarily from the latter half of the 20th century, except for the three-bay section on the outer right. This section includes a semicircular-plan stair tower with a central stair window to the left of centre, and a small slightly later square-plan projecting section to the right, with flanking windows on the ground and first floors.

The hotel mainly has 12-pane (with some 4-pane) timber sash and case windows, and a grey slate roof. There are three coped ridge stacks at the divisions between the former separate properties, a coped gablehead stack to the south, and round cans.

The interior has only been partially inspected, with a beamed ceiling noted in part of the ground floor of the central section, along with a re-set stone inscribed '1702' in the same area.
