Annual Family Holiday

We had a very enjoyable stay at Shelburne Lodge on the Crinan Canal. It was interesting to watch the yachts go by and the locks being opened and shut by the lock keepers. We explored the surrounding area including Inveraray Jail, a distillery, a couple of Islands, walks in the forest where we saw the back end of a beaver and lots of swimming. The lodge was well equipped and provided a comfortable stay.

Great weekend in Knapdale

We were a family party of ten, arriving from Glasgow, Edinburgh, Australia and Canada to reconnect with each and our family origins in Knapdale. We had a wonderful time. The house was capacious, well fitted-out and welcoming, as were the helpful staff. The location beside the Crinan Canal was interesting and good for early morning walks. More generally we had relatively easy access trips to Loch Awe/Kilmartin, Tarbert, and Castle Sween and Tayvallich and the scenic beauty of the area is only matched by its long history. The area generally needs to up its game in the quality and variety of light meals provided, though places like the Tayvallich Inn were just great to visit. The local hotel at Cairnbaan was a disaster for eating out. The food was ok, expensive, the service dreadful and dogs of other drinkers were allowed to wander around and under your table and one pissed on the sofa next to where we were dining. Our overseas guests, who live in rural areas, were appalled by the neglect of public health issues in eating. The house was wonderful and pretty good value for money. We would happily go back .

Amazing characterful house in an absolutely awesome location

The house is packed full of character and history. It is very well kitted out and exceptionally spacious. We were a party of 9 (adults and kids) and it worked perfectly for us. There's a nice pub 5 mins walk away and the local area is fantastic. We didn't spot any Beavers at the local centre (google argyllbeavercentre) but the lochs themselves are beautiful and looking for evidence of where the beavers had been (which was plentiful!) was fascinating. Definitely pop up to the little info centre during the day to get some tips/maps (the Beavers tend to come out at dusk and dawn). We did a day trip to Arran which was stunning and we were able to picnic with tens of seals literally feet away from us (which was very surreal). The quieter beaches are off to the right when you get off the ferry at Lochranza, this is where the seal were. The road that crosses from Machrie to Brodick has some spectacular scenery. Brodick was not our cup of tea so we had an icecream at Lamlash. We also did the 2hr boat trip with Seafari (google seafari easdale). They were really friendly and informative and we saw Sea Eagles, Golden Eagles, Stag, Seals and all kids of other creatures. We can also recommend Carnasserie castle, which is easy to get to and free to explore. The walk to Crinan along the canal was super too and the little tea rooms at the end was great for a cup of tea, sandwich and cake! We didn't want to come home!
