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.

A convenient overnight stay for catching the ferry to Islay.
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.
