Nestling beside Loch Feochan in Argyll, Scotland, lays Knipoch Hotel (pronounced neepoch -och as in loch). This four star country house hotel is privately owned and run by the Craig family. We opened Knipoch as a hotel in 1981 when the original building was refurbished with the reception, kitchen and bedroom wing being added.
Prior to this it was our family home with a history. In 1592, Campbell, Thane of Cawdor was assassinated here at the "house of Knipoch in Lorne". In England as well as Scotland, hotels vary and individually owned hotels each have a personality. At 17 rooms (including a suite and a triple room), Knipoch Hotel is small enough to care for our guests personally, yet large enough to be a hotel.

Lovely country house hotel, stayed for 2 nights rooms are spotless clean and everything is available for a comfortable stay. Not your normal run of the mill room as this is a family run hotel rooms are decorated in country house style. VIEWS are beautiful out into the loch and mountains and all the staff extremely friendly and helpful , breakfast was lovely plenty to chose from cereals, fruit, cheese and hams , jams and pastries and also cooked to order full breakfast and toast .
