Summary: 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.

Summary: 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

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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. )

Summary: Spent a week at Musselshell Lodge, and couldn't have been happier. Clean, comfortable, with immediate response from the caretakers when we had an issue with the plumbing toward the end of our stay. If we ever decide to holiday in that region again, without a doubt we'd stay here. Highly recommend!

Summary: We had a lovely week kayaking and paddle boarding on the loch.The cottage location on the loch was what we needed - especially a big thank you to the lady gardener who cleared a path down to the loch for us. Shame the lodge was not up to our cleanliness standard that we are use to. We had to Vacuum bedroom on arrival as the carpet had lots of hair on it. The sink on the en-suite had blue toothpaste on it which we didn’t have with us. The bathroom was in need of an upgrade as it had a damp smell and overall the lodge was covered in cobwebs and the window frames although in need of replacement could have done with a clean and the oven what can I say ??? I don’t know last when it was cleaned. I could go on and on. The bed linen and towels were of a good standard but the lodge itself is very tired. Internet was only available in the bedroom.A shame we we were let down as the location on the loch is lovely.We will certainly be back to Loch Fynne but not Musselshell lodge.
