Beautiful house
Beautiful, spacious, grand house, but warm, welcoming and well equipped for nine of us, with two beds to spare!! Art Nouveau features - I would love to find out more about its history. It also has a serving hatch and room service bells, if you can manage to fit your butler in the boot of your car!! Laundrey and kitchen facilities.excellent.

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!

Perfect weekend
A lovely house in an amazing location. The house had everything we needed and was full of character. We had lots of communication from Mike which was really helpful and we loved having so many places to explore without needing to drive anywhere. Hopefully we will be back soon!

Weekend break with family
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is huge and accommodated eight of us easily. It is a quirky house with many original features but has all mod cons too. The location at Lock 8 is fabulous and we enjoyed watching the boats going up and down the canal. This is a fantastic area with so much to see and do. I would recommend this property.

Enviable Canalside Location
We booked Shelbourne Lodge on the banks of the Crinan Canal for an extended family break and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property is located on the banks of the canal and also an easy 10 minutes stroll to the nearby Cairnbaan Hotel. The house boasts a fully equipped kitchen with everything you could need, along with dishwasher, coffee machine etc etc, located adjacent to a large dining room with huge table which is large enough for the whole group who are staying there. Comfortable lounge with wood-burner fire and large TV are also on the ground floor, along with a small double bedroom and adjacent wet floor shower room. A lovely staircase takes you up to the upper floor where there are 4 really nice bedrooms and a further 2 shower rooms. The house is situation in it's own ample grounds with plenty parking for 3 cars. We couldn't fault the property in any way, and it was made all the better by the fantastic weather and tranquil setting of just watching the boats sail by and navigate the locks. Would certainly return if we're looking for another weekend of peace!
