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.

Restaurant & Bar

Report

The first and smallest is the red dining room, which is oak, panelled using panelling recovered from the ruins of Ypres Cathedral. The open fire adds to the cosy atmosphere. The largest dining room is the gold room, which is also wood paneled, enhanced with signed Russell Flint's prints. Lastly the stone room, which would have been the original Knipoch House, was built in 15th century and was the site of the assassination of Campbell of Cawdor. At Knipoch we always use the finest, seasonally locally sourced products, and our menu changes daily to represent that seasonality.
