Fabulous Lodge on Loch Fyne
We stayed at Cockleshell Lodge for 10 days in November and had a fabulous time. The lodge is right on the waters edge and we would have paid for the view alone. It is absolutely stunning. There are dog walks straight from the lodge and no need to get the car ut all around the Ballimore Estate and we met the "Lady of the House" who told us some interesting facts about the estate. The lodge itself is huge ! It has a great entrance with lots of space to leave muddy boots and coats etc. There are three bedrooms and have the comfiest beds ever !! The lounge is spacious and leads onto a fully equipped kitchen with everything you need. There is a log burner , which we didnt really use that much because the weather was so good and not cold at all. But when we did it was very easy to get going . TV - very basic but if you've come here to watch TV then don't !! Make the most of what is around you. Location - yes it is very remote but not so remote that you don't see anyone. We met lots of lovely people walking around . Pub- There is a pub called The Oystercatcher at the entrance to the estate and takes 15 mins to walk. We walked in the evenings with head torches and no problem at all. A word of warning - its a bit hit and miss when they open. We checked opening times when we arrived but one evening when we walked down for a meal it was closed, not a problem for us because we were prepared but just a warning to check,

Cockleshell Lodge
Overall we had a great few days here albeit the property is a little 'tired'. We did feel the cleaning could have been better. There were a few dead flies and a number of cobwebs around the place. That said, bedding and bathrooms were clean. The double bed, very comfy. Decking could do with a little tlc too, a number of the steps felt quite 'shoogly'. Location is wonderful with a great view over the loch. Would stay again.
