Blissful peace and quiet

We did not expect such a remote and beautiful location where you can unwind and enjoy nature. We went for very long walks and enjoyed evenings in front of the log fire. So much to see and yet take your time whilst doing it. A place to restore and revive!!!

It was fantastic!

It was very comfortable, warm and clean, with lovely views. I loved the wood interiors and the fireplace. The shower was a little weak and ran a bit hot and cold, but I think that can be expected from a cabin out in the country. I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend it completly.

Highly recommend!

Excellent accommodation, the photos don’t do it justice. It’s very comfortable and spacious. The bed was very comfortable and good quality linen. With a beautiful view of the loch from the main bedroom. Kitchen is well equipped. The area is so peaceful and location is amazing! I would book again and again!!

Cosy cabin on banks of Loch Fyne

There was a very damp and musty smell in the hall and bathroom. The vegetation surrounding the cabin was overgrown so the outside felt oppressive rather than having a clear view of the Loch as per the advertisement. The wall glazing needs cleaning. The owner kindly supplies a huge amount of logs stored outside. Half of them disappeared during our stay which made us feel insecure as we felt it may be a local resident. ( Not really anyone else passing) Despite all this, the cabin was warm, extremely comfortable with everything you need in the kitchen, and we loved walking around and down to the Loch with our little dog / venturing further afield. Beautiful area.

Great location but a few issues

The views from Scallopshell, particularly from the lounge and master bedroom, across Loch Fyne are fantastic. There was a smell of damp and mustiness on entry that never cleared even though we opened windows as often as the weather allowed. We never managed to get any hot water, although the electric shower was good. There were no instructions for the complicated oven or heating. It's within a 20 minute walk of The Oystercatcher pub, which does excellent meals. Good WiFi, although we couldn't get the apparently smart tv to connect. It's spacious and well furnished, with particularly comfortable beds.

Autumn on Loch Fyne.

Fabulous location, warm and cosy. The grounds are interesting with the old overgrown woodland garden. It was a great place for long walks.

Stunning location

Really beautiful place and the lodge was comfortable and well equipped. We had a great holiday although there were one or two things missing that you sometimes get in holiday homes - like kitchen cloths, soap and shower gel. But overall a very positive experience.

A really beautiful, quiet, rural cabin by Loch Fyne

We really recommend this place - we had such a lovely holiday and the views are just incredible. Access to the water is very easy - you can't go directly down from the cabin (though you can see the water straight from the cabin) but it's just a few minutes walk by the road. Although there are quite a lot of other cabins on the estate, it is very well done, so you feel like you've got a lot of privacy. The place was spotless when we turned up, and very well managed in terms of C19. There were a few minor issues (a lightbulb that had gone, the fire wasn't getting enough oxygen to stay alight etc) and Tristan was very responsive when we texted him, and came down to the cabin himself to sort out everything he could. The place is very comfortable and spacious. We were only two people and a dog (the cabin sleeps six) but even with a bigger group I think it would feel comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped. Don't rely on the internet. Apparently there haven't been too many issues in the past but it was pretty much unusable while we were there, and there wasn't any phone signal either - bear in mind that this is very rural. I'm sure you don't go to a place like this for the internet though - it's all about the views, views, views!

We had a lovely week at Scallopshell Lodge. The house was clean and comfortable and in a lovely setting with beautiful views. The kitchen was well equipped. We have visited the estate a number of times, so know the area well, but first-time visitors may need a bit more local information provided to make the most of their holiday. I would highly recommend any of the lodges to friends and family.

Beautiful beach side location

I’d highly recommend the lodge for a peaceful break. Take bikes if you have them as surrounding roads and path through the estate is perfect for cycling.
