We stayed here for one night before heading over to Islay. The Knap was quite charming with a lovely sitting room and dining room. Our room (Clan McMillan) had a cozy nook with a window that looked out onto the town. Alistair was a very welcoming host. The bed was on the firm side, which some people might mind but... More

There was also a good supply of Tea and Coffee.The Scotmid store was directly across from the guest house and was handy for... More

We had a great stay at Knap House. Our host Alistair was a pleasure to meet. Our Double room was spotless, warm and cosy and we had a good view of the harbour. We would recommend Alistair's delicous breakfast, which set us up nicley for the day. The log fire was very welcoming in the lounge. The Hotel is well... More

We had an excellent stay at Knap Guest House! Our twin room was very clean, with a beautiful view of the harbour. The bathroom was large and very modern. It seems that the Guest House was refurbished recently, so it had a great feel of everything being new. We had a great two nights' sleep as the beds were very... More

On a tour of Western Scotland in gale force winds we had an unscheduled 3 hour drive to reach Tarbert as our ferry had been cancelled - all worthwhile in the end as Alistair was a complete treasure. He came out to greet us (it's not easy to spot Knap in the dark, an unassuming looking building but stunning inside)... More

The internet search made minutes before hopping on the Ullapool to Stornoway ferry was for accommodation in Tarbert Isle of Lewis. Arrive late in the evening to find out that booked accommodation was in Tarbert Argyll, several hundred miles away. Fortunately the people in Tarbert Isle of Lewis were very helpful in finding accommodation at very short notice. Unfortunately the... More
