    They have to change the windows. Not all of them close properly.

    Really nice modern rooms. Nothing to complain about. Big king-size bed. The receptionist showed us the rooms personally and explained everything. Really welcoming We have been there out of the main season and therefore a really good deal.

    Everything , you could tell they are doing renovations but nothing that ruined the views or the hotel inside. The staff were excellent. We didn’t eat there and was only there one night. We did go into the bar the morning just before we checked out for a coffee and they were actually getting it ready for a photo shoot to advertise weddings that they were obviously going to start doing at the hotel. Excellent location for a wedding definitely would recommend.

    There was renovation work going on in the Reception area with dust sheets covering the furniture, although the lounge was still available. I had requested a quiet room but morning and evening I was aware of a lot of moving around in the room above (which I was told was for staff). It was, however, quiet enough through the night. There was only one bedside table and lamp on one side of the king size bed.

    Lovely setting, friendly staff and plenty of parking. Their renovation work so far is looking good. I didn't eat at the hotel so I can't comment on the food.

    Food/drinks are just a little over priced. £8 for a small bottle of Schweppes lemonade & £6 or £7 for a shot of vodka is what let's it down. £32-38 per main course is too expensive even though it's exceptional quality. No facilities such as hottub due to work going on at present or log fires, but this didn't ruin our stay

    Food amazing, staff couldn't have done enough for you. Felt very spoilt & extremely welcome

    We were above the main entrance which meant there were a few door hangs but on the whole there was no other background noise at all!

    What a beautiful hotel in a fantastic place! We loved every minute from the comfy lounge and roaring fire to the super friendly and helpful staff. We didn't get a chance to sample the food as we had commitments in Oban which is only a few minutes drive away. We would definitely stay here again.

    Food prices were based on a fine dining experience and although the dining room was superb with oak panelling and a lovely fireplace the food was not of a fine dining quality for the prices charged

    There was no food available in the evening probably because the hotel was so quiet. Hence the reason for 4 stars and not 5.

    The room had recently been refurbished and was very comfortable. Also very warm despite the wintry weather.

    We really enjoyed our 3 night stay at knipoch hotel, the room was very comfortable having been recently refurbished It had tea and coffee facilities and toiletries. It had beautiful views across the loch from the bedroom window. The bed was very comfortable and had a lovely walk in shower. The staff were very friendly and helpful The menu had a good choice on it and was cooked and presented to a very standard. The food was excellent, would highly recommend the venison Breakfast was cooked to order with plenty of choices We would highly recommend this hotel. We hope to visit again

    Scotland hotels and restaurants are generally more expensive than we are used to in England. Not a big issue when the food is good. Bar prices were fairly high too.

    Even though the hotel is going through a program of remodelling, the team are so friendly and kind you immediately forgive the inconvenience. A fabulous location. Super pet friendly. Marvellous food, albeit quite expensive.

    There is nothing to dislike - everything was just perfect!

    Knipoch Hotel is in a perfect location, what seems like only a stones throw from Oban. The furnishings and decorations have been completed to a Royal standard. The lounge has a calm feeling, the ideal spot to relax and read or chat about the days adventures with a cup of tea or one of the many Whiskey choices available. The rooms don't disappoint with the attention to detail to all luxuries, including my favourite; heated floor in the bathroom! The idyllic views of the hills and the loch are quite magical. The magnificent staff; Andreas, Stephanie, Sophie, Adrian and "The Chef", adding that special ingredient to make you feel nothing was too much trouble. Now to the food! Being Vegan and having food allergies and intolerances, I can make it very difficult for some places, but "The Chef" was incredible and the staff making me feel it was not a problem at all. The food was divine - the taste, the texture and the combination of taste explosions were just tremendous! It is a must for those looking for something with a little more, finesse and, well, what can I say, just a little more than other high end places can offer! Oh and don't forget well behaved dogs are very much catered for too - we just hadn't brought ours along, but we will be back soon and will bring them with us!
