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!
