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.

The property is in very good decorative condition with lovely seating areas. Service was excellent and the staff very welcoming and friendly. Food was good but I would have liked a simpler choice on the menu for times when you don't want a heavy type of meal.

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.

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!

I would have awarded five stars….breakfast was understaffed even though meal was excellent. Property is approximately five miles south of Oban; room was large and comfortable. .

Newly renovated historic building with cozy and tasteful interior. The breakfast buffet needs improving for 4* level and the need to reserve even when the restaurant is empty should be reconsidered. Overall wonderful staff an property.

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.
