The owner was no nice and very helpful with everything The view is so nice with quiet areaLovely beach We had a nice stay The birds are so nice to watch

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.

The lodge was spacious and well laid out. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything you would need in a self catering property. The bedrooms were nicley decorated and the beds were comfortable. The views from the living room and verrnada were beautiful. .

The lodge is in a beautiful location only a few metres from the shore of Loch Fyne. Fabulous views from our windows, both front and back. An ideal place for anyone interested in bird watching. The accommodation is spacious and the beds very comfortable. The place is well heated which is essential because the evenings were cold. The kitchen is well appointed and stocked with most things although a couple of large saucepans and a casserole dish wouldn’t go amiss. The Oystercatcher pub 0.8miles walk away along the shore is a lovely dog friendly place to eat with excellent food; although very small so booking a must. It also serves ales from the Loch Fyne brewery which are well worth trying. A thing to be well aware of is the remoteness of Otter Ferry. It is 9 miles drive to the nearest small village store at Kames along a very narrow but well maintained single track road with passing places. It is essential that you take all provisions for your stay. The other road from Otter Ferry to Inver (around 9 miles) is also single track but in a very poor state of repair in places. This remoteness adds to the charm of the place in one respect but adds significant time onto journeys when out and about in a car. There is very little on the side of the loch that Otter Ferry is situated on but much more to see and do on the Inveraray side of the loch. The George in Inveraray is an excellent dog friendly place to have lunch. There were some disappointments with our stay. The properties Wi-Fi and smart tv functions (Netflix, Prime, iPlayer etc..) referenced on the agents website did not work during the entirety of our stay despite reporting this to the owner Tristan and the booking agents Argyll and Bute Self Catering. It still wasn’t working on the morning we left. It took from Friday the 1st April until Tuesday 5th April for the owner to contact us about it and the issue was unresolved. The place was not particularly thoroughly clean on arrival. The oven was very dirty, the top of the fridge was thick with dust and grease and a previous occupants clothes had been left in a drawer in the second bedroom. The smell from the hoover in the property is really bad so a strong stomach needed if you choose to use it. Hot water for the kitchen sink could only be obtained with the tap running at a trickle and no information of any kind regarding the appliances was available which led to some confusion on how to heat the water. Parking is available at the side of the lodge but be wary if your vehicle is low slung as it may bottom on the gravel drive which is in need of levelling. All in a all I would say that Musselshell Lodge is in a beautiful location and has a number of comfortable features but is still a work in progress with a number of improvements that could be made. Also more could have been done to address the faults with the lack of internet access much earlier during our stay. The availability of this service is pretty essential given the remoteness of the location.
