The Knipoch is decorated in the most perfect country house style. Check in was very welcoming and seamless and in no time we were shown to our rather lovely room… From the artwork to the lamp bases; the bed throw to the amenities, and the incredibly comfortable bed it is obvious that they really care. We thoroughly enjoyed the comfort of the lounge, sitting in front of a roaring fire whilst we sipped our evening drinks. We only stayed the one night but will definitely be going back.

A really beautiful hotel recently refurbished and looking and feeling 5*. Staff friendly and obliging, warm and inviting in a beautiful position overlooking the loch with plenty of outside seating areas. Breakfast was everything you could want but evening meal a little limited for our taste and perhaps a little pricey.

Amazing views and food delicious. We checkin early and had lunch delicious food. The staff was checking if our rooms was available. We had pre booked and paid. A man at lunch was worried we were leaving our lunch without paying. He clearly had misjudged our intentions behaved like Basil.

Perfect Country Inn outside Oban

This charming country inn is perfection! The setting is lovely, as is the view. The rooms both public and private are beautifully decorated, warm and cozy. The meals in the restaurant were very good and they had some unusual offerings. The staff were all wonderful, friendly and very service oriented. I highly recommend this hotel and can’t wait to return!

Gorgeous hotel, would stay again!

What a beautiful hotel! It was very cosy and decorated to feel like a Manor House. Our dog was warmly welcomed too which was nice! We didn’t eat there but we had a drink in the bar at night. The room was spotless and the shower was to die for! The location is utterly stunning too! The only thing I would say is that we overheard two staff members having negative words with each other. It didn’t impact our stay but seemed unprofessional. Also the gentleman on reception when we stayed (Sun 6th Oct) didn’t seem to have the best attitude but again it didn’t impact our stay. Maybe they just need to brush up on their customer service skills.

Our stay was wonderful! From our arrival and being greeted by Michael, the hotel manager, personally shown to our room and provided with an overview of it's amenities, through our time in lounge / dining room to the end of our two-night stay, we could not have asked for a better combination - comfort, peace and tranquility, yet just a short (about 8 min) drive to Oban for shopping, restaurants and amenities. Celebrating our 20th anniversary, Knipoch House had a calming effect on both of us, especially when we relaxed in our jr. suite with a cocktail overlooking a great view of the mountains and Loch Feochan. This hotel allowed us to combine both relaxation surrounded by nature, with touring and shopping in Oban, a port village with plenty of charm and character, including convenient ferry access to Isle of Mull. Overall, the Knipoch House Hotel is 5 star (by North American standards); our jr. suite was exceptionally appointed following renovations and had above average amenities, including floor heating. hands-free lighting control, new and elegant bathroom fixtures and room decor. The old adage that paying attention to detail certainly applies here. Michael repeatedly made us feel so welcome, as though we were guests in his own home. It was exactly the medicine we needed and more than we hoped for. If it is a being welcomed and pampered you are looking for and time away to destress, look no further. Knipoch House is the place to stay. We'll be returning!

Nice and charm away from Oban

Outstanding location if you like the loch view and stay away of Oban that's your place. The only downside is the quality of the water as is not treated (full disclosure provided so is not misleading) so you have to remember NOT to drinking, I think very soon they will fix this issue so hopefully won't be a problem in future Regarding of food only ate scones, claimed to be homemade which it was but not the best I had; cannot comment for other foods

Hotel is homely and staff very welcoming. Room soft furnishings etc were nice. Food supplied by the hotel was really nice, chef was great. However during our stay the water supply to the hotel is not clean, the toilets/ taps/ shower we’re all running brown/ orange water. The staff said we would have an endless supply of bottled water etc so not to worry and it was fine to bathe in as long as we didn’t drink it but it put me off using the shower etc on our overnight when I would have liked to. I also felt £40 overnight charge for our dog was a bit steep when he didn’t get any kind of welcome package/ dog bed/ biscuit included, which is the norm on any other trip we have taken him with us.

Not all they are aspiring to be .

Hotel is very nice and everything is top quality except for the service. At well over £200 per night you expect your breakfast to come in the correct order, ie not your cooked breakfast before your porridge. Then when the cooked breakfast comes back 10 mins later you don’t expect it to be the same one you sent away which was neither fresh nor hot. Poor waiter service, obviously untrained. Not good enough for what they are trying to project re price. Top quality destination with very poor quality service.

Last minute luxury in Oban

Last minute booking at the end of a 6 day break travelling the west of Scotland. A very beautiful and unique hotel in a fantastic location, quiet and overlooking the water, but only 10 mins drive to Oban centre. Fantastic help on arrival by the reception and senior staff/manager to arrange a room with a bath and also late dining as we had been delayed getting there. Lovely varied menu and extensive drinks list which contributed to a fabulous evening! Great option to use the private HotTub, although we didn't have the time on this occasion, but definitely will do on our next stay. All in all, a fantastic hotel and great value!
