This is a very nice property outside of Oban. Knipoch House Hotel is situated in a quiet location and offers very good food on-site. We were only there for a short time, on our way to Glasgow, but it was a very comfortable and enjoyable stay.

The property was amazing and our room was lovely. They thought of everything when the property was remodeled. The lighting was great and the layout was fantastic. I appreciated the placement of electrical outlets and mirrors to allow us “ladies” to get ready for the day. The staff were very friendly, kind and accommodating. We enjoyed dinner and drinks in the cozy bar and then off to bed to enjoy the best night of sleep I’ve had since we arrived in Scotland 12 days ago. Thank you!

Lovely boutique hotel just out of the town with a nice view. A ideal place to be for quiet but within driving distance of Oban. Although our room was lovely and we had a good view of the loch, we could also see the bins right below our room, this could be avoided by just covering the bin area.

Great location. Lovely rooms.

Beautiful location, great for exploring the Argyll coast and Oban. Rooms, reception and lounge all very nice and redecorated in past year or so. Dining room a bit tired and gloomy. The food we had was decent. Not great. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
