    We had an amazing break at this fabulous tranquil location. So private, surrounded by trees, none of the other lodges were visible from ours, great close by views of the loch from the living room and the master bedroom. 20 minutes walk along the edge of the loch to the Oystercatcher pub only renovated and reopened four weeks earlier, provided excellent food and local Fyne Ales beer, sitting outside beside the Loch. Long single track road kept the place private and close to nature.

    The lodge was spacious and well laid out. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything you would need in a self catering property. The bedrooms were nicley decorated and the beds were comfortable. The views from the living room and verrnada were beautiful. .

    A lovely lodge in a delightful location BUT and it’s a big but, it is a long way from the nearest shop so take everything with you. The nearest shop is a 1 hour round trip down a single track road. After all that the lodge is lovely. Very spacious and nicely decorated with lovely views of Loch Fyne from the living room and the master bedroom. The kitchen is very well equipped with lots of cutlery, crockery etc. but lacks any instructions on how to use the oven. The heating is storage heaters and electric wall heaters plus a log burner. More than adequate. Two electric showers. Not the most powerful but perfectly okay. Lots of wildlife including deer, otters, red squirrels and lots of birds. We really enjoyed our stay

    The lodge was great with plenty of logs for the log burner. Bedrooms were very comfortable and bathrooms and kitchen very clean. There was plenty for us to do with walks along the loch and through the forestry. The local pub was about a 10 minute walk providing some lovely food and drinks. If I had to pick fault it would be that there were no operating instructions for the oven and the dishwasher was not working properly but these were minor inconveniences. I would definitely book again.

    If you’re looking for somewhere, well away from the madding crowd, then, the Tighnabruaich area, where the Musselshell Lodge is, is just the place. It’s overlooking the shores of Lough Fyne, which fill the view through the large sliding door onto your lovely wooden balcony. The lodge has all the modern comforts you could need. WiFi, dishwasher, lovely silent Mira showers! The electric car charger was such a welcome boon too. It’s about a half-hour drive to shops at Kyle and Tighnabruaich, and the ferry at Portavadie for Kintyre. There are lovely walks around the Ballimore Estate where the lodge is located. There’s a pub and restaurant just a 15 minute ramble away, at Otter Ferry. Excellent food, and fabulously friendly staff. A lovely retreat.

    We love staying here. It is well equipped and a beautiful location. ( off the record I spent ages trying to find a booklet with instructions for the oven, and I arrived v late on my own, and wanted to cook on the hot plates of the cooker ,and found it really hard to work out. )
