A super stay with the most amazing staff and so dog friendly; wouldn't hesitate to return!
Pros:

The location was beautiful and not too far from Oban Centre. The staff are super friendly, professional and courteous. The breakfast was wonderful with great choices. Extremely dog friendly and had a separate dining area in the bar so you can dine with your dog. The room was clean and very comfortable. Wouldn't hesitate to return if returning to the area.

Cons:

If I was being picky, the only slight negative was the creaking floorboards from the room above!

Très agréable moment...
Pros:

Le cadre est exceptionnel pour celui qui recherche le dépaysement et le retour à la nature. Cet hôtel ressemblait à celui que nous avions visité à Leenaun (Irlande), ce qui a motivé notre choix.

Cons:

Le retour à l'authenticité.

Pros:

Great place to stay if you are in the Oban area. Staff super friendly and helpful, and the 1635 restaurant food offering was Michelin star quality. The Knipoch team made my wife's birthday weekend trip extremely memorable, and we look forward to staying in future!

A wonderful stay thank you to Nadja, Mark and the Whole Team
Pros:

An amazing hotel in a picturesque location, absolutely delicious restaurant menu, plus lovely caring staff. They made our short stay a memorable one which we did not want it to end. We had a luxurious break in a very well appointed room with a comfortable bed. Much welcomed after a long relaxing soak in the deep bath tub, or the rain shower, with luxury Scottish bath and shower toiletries. Each evening after our three course evening dinner we sat in front of the log fires in the reception or lounge. Where we enjoyed a local beer or whiskey. Attentively delivered by one of the waitress's Nadja who was delightful to chat with about the hotel, local places of interest and more. Gratitude to the waiter Mark, who ensured we were set up for the day each morning with a great and plentiful breakfast. Plus his great tips on where to visit locally really turned out to be just what we needed.

Cons:

Having to leave such a wonderful place to go home, wished we could have stayed longer.
