Breakfast was ok. The menu is a little basic and, from a purely aesthetic point of view, could be much more logically laid out – suggest a bullet-style list with boxes against each item where you can enter a number. Decor in building is wonderful. Room was great. Bed very comfortable. View over the harbour delightful.

The menu. Only other minor thing was the occasional sound of trucks going past (we had the window open as it was very warm) – at times it sounded like they were crashing into the harbour!

This guest house is well-situated for catching a morning ferry from Kennacraig, only a short 10 minute drive away, as well as being only a few steps away from several pubs, cafes and restaurants. The rooms are comfortable, clean, attractively decorated and have everything you need for a short stay. The twin room was very spacious, and even the small double room had maximized the utility of the space. The breakfast supplied to the room was very generous and tasty.

Knap house was great accomodation in the heart of Tarbert. Our room looked out over the harbour and up to the castle. We used Knap as our base to explore the area all the way down to the Mull of Kintyre - awesome area. Our room had everything we needed and more but I was especially impressed by the environmental credentials of this property. The owner had taken care of installing thermostatic heating controls and electrical management that is a real indication of a commitment to reduce energy but all the while making sure comfort did not suffer. If everyone did what Alan at Knap has done we would reduce an enormous amount of energy. He should be commended for this. One amazing example was the water temperature. It was set exactly right so as not to waste hot water cooling it down. Great attention to detail. Thanks to Alan and the team for looking after us so well.

Absolutely brilliant place to stay. The room was lovely, so spacious, loved the view in the window was amazing. The touches were must appreciated, the wine, cheese, milk, biscuits. Everything was so clean! The towels were so soft! Loved playing monopoly in the window. Would have loved to use the fire if it was colder. The bed was so comfy, the sheets were really nice. The breakfast in the morning was so well presented and really great. Loved the decor. Felt at home right away. Alan was lovely and friendly and made us feel very welcome.

Nothing! Wish we could have stayed longer 😊

The excellent location. Free parking in street opposite the building or plenty of places close by. Its cleanliness, room facilities( twin room in loft area), view of the harbour from side window. Small breakfast delivered to room on tray in the morning- previously having completed an order form on arrival & leaving it outside bedroom door. Proprietor assisted us with carrying our 2 suitcases down to the hallway prior to us leaving.

Being elderly, the 32 steps it took to get to our room struggling to carry 2 heavy suitcases as well. We did not notice any warning of this at the time of booking & would probably have chosen a different type of room had we know !

We booked very last minute on same day and managed to get a twin room. The room was immaculate, the bedding and towels were brilliant quality and smelled amazing. Beds were so comfortable too and we had everything we needed. You pick your breakfast the night before, choices are breakfast rolls, toast, cereals and it’s brought to your door in the morning by Alan so you can enjoy it on your room.

Very smart and comfortable place to stay with all the amenities you would require. The room was very well equipped and the traditional character of the place was perfect. I didn't have time for breakfast as I was on the first ferry to Islay the next day but I'm sure it would have been great. The complimentary cheese and wine just put the icing on the cake for me. Thank you Alan, look forward to staying again soon.

The room was immaculate and the view from the window was lovely, over the marina. The property is on the main road and therefore really easy to find. The host was brilliant and we loved the room breakfast idea - it was tasty and plentiful. Really pleasant host who made us feel welcome. We will definitely rebook in the future. The instant check was so easy and ideal for what we needed.

An excellent and spacious room, with sitting area as well as bedroom and a great view over the loch/harbour at Tarbert. Very clean and well furnished. Good bolt hole in rainy weather!

Breakfast (delivered to room) pretty ordinary. Minimal contact with owners, as it is managed remotely, and no room servicing during stay or replenishment of tea, coffee, milk (and needed some facilities for washing up in these circumstances). It has more of a feel of self-catering accommodation rather than a guest house; we didn’t feel that the owners wanted much to do with their clients.

This was an overnight stay on the way to Islay. The room was comfortable, clean and spacious. Complimentary wine with cheese and biscuits in the room - fabulous. Breakfast is served in your room which actually works. We sat in the bay window and watched the world go by. We certainly would stay again.

Nothing to report we would highly recommend staying here.
