    Breakfast is served in your room, which was fine, I prefer a breakfast room, but this in no way spoiled our stay

    This is a very well run house.

    A lot of traffic noise. It would have been nice to have some personal contact, but the remote system did seem to work well.

    Excellent location by harbourside. Simple breakfast delivered to room at time requested. Decor was fun.

    Lock on the bathroom door is a little finicky

    Alan was great, I arrived in the evening and he was quick to get me setup. Breakfast was nice and delivered to the room, room itself was perfect for someone travelling solo. Right at the start of the Kintyre 66 so it really is a great base of operations.

    Nothing at all. X

    The comfy beds,the cute attic room in eaves of the house. The hotel was very tastefully decorated ( & I do love elephants,so maybe I'm biased) The breakfast was lovely,and views over the harbour from our room were great( even when Storm Babet was raging!!). A beautiful place that we would definitely return to. Keep up the great work. X

    Nothing to dislike at this location.

    Knapp Guesthouse is in an excellent location as it is so close to the lovely harbour area. Our room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The served breakfast to our room was very nice and more than adequate.

    The e-mail contact beforehand took some getting used to. First there was the detailed description, among other things, that you should choose breakfast between 07:30 and 08:30. Nothing more was said about this in this message. We then sent our choices back in the response. Then, under the comment "You may have seen it..", there is also the addition that you write the time later on a piece of paper and put it in the box in front of the door by 8 p.m. at the latest. Should have been better in the first description.

    The location is excellent. Our chosen restaurant (Lullabelles) was also just a short stroll along the harbour. We had looked at the house in Google beforehand, so we found the entrance immediately. The "reception" is very unusual: you ring the bell, it buzzes and at the entrance there is a small plastic bag with a key - that's it. The suite is large and very nicely decorated. The Shiraz provided was excellent, nice idea. We had something similar in Oban, there it was a good sherry (it's also Scotland :-) ). You order breakfast with a note, which you put in a box until the evening. The "roll" mentioned there is a kind of burger bun with the chosen topping. In the morning, breakfast is then handed over briefly. It was only when we said goodbye that we had brief contact and were able to say thank you for the pleasant stay.
