OTTER FERRY
Scallopshell Lodge is on the east side of Loch Fyne on the B8000, about 16 miles south of Strachur and close to Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. Otter Ferry itself is a quiet backwater but is within easy reach of Inveraray, Bute, Loch Lomond and Dunoon. The drive down the lochside to Tighnabruaich must be one of the most beautiful in Scotland.
The small communities along Loch Fyne are known for their oyster fishing and fine restaurants which offer this delicacy. Close to the small community of Otter Ferry is the Otter Ferry Seafish business, one of several fish farms and hatcheries in the area.
The well-known Oystercatcher restaurant in Otter Ferry is in a beautiful location right on the beach and offers first class food and award-winning real ales brewed locally in the nearby Fyne Ales Brewery at the top of Loch Fyne.
The sturdy whitewashed building is surrounded by plenty of outdoor tables which take advantage of the beautiful views over the loch on fine days.

Fabulous location, warm and cosy. The grounds are interesting with the old overgrown woodland garden. It was a great place for long walks.
August 2021
We had a lovely week at Scallopshell Lodge. The house was clean and comfortable and in a lovely setting with beautiful views. The kitchen was well equipped. We have visited the estate a number of times, so know the area well, but first-time visitors may need a bit more local information provided to make the most of their holiday. I would highly recommend any of the lodges to friends and family.
Beautiful beach side location

I’d highly recommend the lodge for a peaceful break. Take bikes if you have them as surrounding roads and path through the estate is perfect for cycling.
