5/5 Star Upfront Reviews - March 2023
We 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.
 

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.
