5 Star AirBnB Review - October 2024
Beautiful historic home on the canal. It was an amazing place for 8 adults to spend a few days on holiday!
Exploring Argyll from Shelburn Lodge5/5 Star Upfront Reviews - August 2024We gathered as a family of 6 adults and a dog for a week in August. The house was lovely. Fitted us all in comfortably, was very clean and generally had everything we needed. Location was good - lochgilphead 10 minutes drive for any food shopping - good size co op and very good fish at the Smokehouse, nice cheese at Marmalade Deli, a butcher....( having a bike would have been very useful!) and plenty of interesting places to walk / see within a short distance. Kilmartin Glen was great. Walking from the door was easy and varied from strolling along the towpath to the more strenuous round walk to Dunadd (c. 3 hours and well worth it). We found a small sandy beach at Carsaig for a swim.
Perfect house for large family or friends. Great location on the Crain canal.5/5 Star Upfront Reviews - June 2024A great house with plenty of room for 7 people and three dogs. Well equipped kitchen and great dinning area. The beds are really comfy all bedrooms are spacious. Plenty of room out side with nice sitting area. Located on the Crain canal which is very picturesque. Would recommend shelboure lodge.
What a lovely, welcoming home to stay in.5/5 Star Upfront Reviews - March 2023We were a party of 10 adults, 2 infants and a dog and had lots of room at Shelburne Lodge. It occupies a beautiful spot and was so homely, we all loved it and would really like to return at some point. Would definitely recommend to other larger parties.
Very good.4.2/5 Stars Upfront Reviews - September 2023We had a great weekend. House ideal for a family gathering. Good location with walks along the canal and in local woodland. Plenty of space and good facilities for cooking and dining.
Beautiful house in a stunning location4.8/5 Stars Upfront Reviews - May 2023We had a perfect family visit in this gracious and welcoming house. The setting is spectacular, on the banks of the canal , so convenient for Lochgilphead, the Cairnbaan Hotel and brilliant walks from the door. The rooms are spacious and comfortable and nothing has been forgotten. There is a generous supply of crockery, cutlery and cooking items, in fact everything you need for a larger gathering. The beds are really comfortable and there are cushions and throws everywhere to make it extra homelike and relaxed. The access up a narrow drive is a little tricky at first but as long as you follow the owner’s instructions there is plenty of space to park outside the house. We really appreciated the excellent communication with the holiday company and owner who made everything so easy and stress free. We’ll be back.
Fabulous weekend
4.5/5 Upfront Reviews - September 2022
I found Shelburne Lodge by accident when contemplating what to do for my 70th birthday. It is in an area we love and the right size for three generations of family plus dogs. We had the best time, the house was perfect, weather was kind to us, and it was great for the children to see boats going through the canal. Proximity to the Cairnbaan Hotel enabled and extra couple to join us as well. Highly recommended.
Amazing house in a stunning location
5/5 Star Upfront Reviews - April 2022
Shelburne lodge is a fantastic house with many period detail features and quirky accessories throughout. The facilities are excellent and we all thoroughly enjoyed exploring the house and the grounds. The old servant call/bell system provided hours of amusement for the kids (and big kids). The house is perfectly situated for exploring a beautiful part of the country with many stunning walks and views either immediately on the doorstep or a short drive away. We would all heartily recommend this holiday home and cannot wait to return.

Shelburne Lodge-Beautiful holiday home-on the Crinan Canal 5B/R sleeps 11
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.
