Fantastic house in a stunning location
We loved our stay here. The house is extremely comfortable, spotlessly clean and in a dream location. Look forward to returning one day.

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.
