The Knap House is a clean and convenient little hotel in Tarbert which is a great place to stay if visiting the Isle of Islay & its distilleries. Its not fancy but has all the amenities. Having a refrigerator is a nice touch. Be ready to climb the stairs; most rooms are on the 3rd floor. The included breakfast was good.
What a cute suite! Right on the corner, we could see the bay and people watch. There is a corner store across the street and a great deli/takeaway downstairs. This was just what we needed after a long day in the car. We were lucky with the weather but I think it would be lovely no matter when you visit.
The first impression was the view. It was absolutely beautiful. The room was nice, comfortable, and a good size. The proprietor was friendly and helpful.
Loved our corner room overlooking the harbour. Very comfortable. Breakfast was a pre order which resulted in hot food coming at the same time as the cold!!!! So not ideal but that aside a lovely small niche setup
Lovely place full of character .Everything you would need including fridge and fresh milk.Owner very friendly and welcoming perfect location right on harbour.Great communication v easy check in.
Super friendly and accommodating people running this place - lovely breakfast, clean and comfortable rooms and central location (was perfect for the wedding I was attending at the church!).
A perfectly pleasant stay. However it lacks the human touch. Everything is automated and seems organised to minimise interaction between host and guest. Breakfast - all three courses at the same time left at your door - eating cereal first meant cold bacon sandwich and cold toast. Run for the proprietor not the guest.
Great stay
Nice and clean, cosy and bed was comfy.
Alan was a good host.
Loved the personal touch where the light breakfast is brought to your room at the time which suits.
Also, in case there are any folk out there who may want to know where they are staying is secure use this place. Nobody can gain access without an electronic key fob from the host. When you arrive there is a video doorbell which adds to the security. (Not that you would need it as Tarbert is a nice place)
