Michael
Clean room, parking by the harbour about 2 mins walk. All organised by phone or emailing. Texting. Went to catch ferry early morning,did not see or interact with human beings.
Sarah
Smooth check in, very clear instructions. Easy, free parking just a few steps away. Lovely room, with beautiful furniture and decorative items. The room was large with comfy seating, as well as table and chairs for eating, plus a wonderful view of the harbour. Very comfy bed. Thoughtful touches in the room including chilled water, wine, cheese and oatcakes. Being opposite Co-op was very handy for food, though there were several options in the town too. Breakfast options were good, and delivered exactly when we asked. Would definitely recommend.
Alison
An excellent B&B in Tarbert. Everything about the room was excellent. Loved the wine and cheese left for us on arrival. Having a fridge is a rare bonus in B&Bs. Breakfast was provided at the time requested and we ate it at the table and chairs provided in our room. Parking is not on site but there is plenty of free parking nearby. I would say this was the best nights stay we had in our 2 week holiday in Scotland
Bruno
Charming, relatively quiet (traffic on the road). Large room very clean. Very homey.
Brigitte

A very thoughtful and comfortable stay, with an excellent firm bed, good shower and warm heating when needed. Thoroughly recommended.
Ruth
Lovely little town. With safe parking just a few meters from the front door. Room was warm welcoming and quiet. All the amenities were very nice and breakfast was lovely. Easy check in attentive staff. Thank you very much for a lovely stay.
Graham and Joy
Our Princess Suite room was wonderful - nice size, nice bed and view over the harbor, in this comfortable and well appointed small guest house right in the center of Tarbert town. We would happily return!
Elizabeth Marie
Perfect place to stay before and after catching the ferry to Islay. Alan was very responsive and helpful in accommodating after hours arrivals. The breakfast was excellent.
Matthew
Parking on Main street easy enough in October, can't speak for peak season. Everything about this Guest House faultless
GEORGE
It was great apart from room being next to main road would suggest triple glazing as I am a light sleeper a had an early rise for 7am ferry but kept getting woken up by passing trucks during the early hours, apart from that room was perfect.

Wonderfully located! Cute B& B. We left very early and did not stay for breakfast.

Highland Gem
Knap House is a real gem. The rooms are fantastic, nicely furnished and very comfortable. Alan is very Accommodating, a perfect host, just the place after a long day to relax and unwind.
Elbert
Easy check in! Very clean! Excellent bed and bathroom! Breakfast was delivered to our door, The food was excellent! Will say you need to be comfortable with stairs! There are several excellent restaurants within walking distance. Parking is free along the waterfront. All rooms have great views of the port!!
Lesley
When we arrived we were told that they do Not take children and I had an 8 year old daughter
Chris
Great property and effortless check in. Warm and comfortable. Location puts it near the road to Campbelltown and the Kennacraig ferry, but it wasn't too intrusive.
Prof Ian
An unusual B&B. Very little personal contact with the owners. No one to welcome us and we were let in on ringing the bell. No dining/breakfast room and breakfast was ordered via leaving a form and then delivered to the bedroom at the time requested. The breakfast was fine though and the hotel clean and comfortable. It was just rather odd and reminded us of going to a hotel at eh height of the Covid pandemic.
Riannon
Loved every bit of this spot and would rerun without question.
James
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.
Elise
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.
Ian
A convenient overnight stay for catching the ferry to Islay.
Steven
Great place to stay. Spotless, comfortable well appointed. Kitchen had supplies of tea, coffee, milk etc and again, was very clean.
Katy
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.
Ian
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
Rosalie
A gem of a place
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.

William

Short overnight stay to catch ferry.
Verified traveler
Great stay
Great location, clean & well equipped, welcoming host.
Andrew
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.
Jim
All very good.
larry
Beautiful little guest house in an amazing little town.
Margaret
Clean easy to access guest house. Comfortable bed, good shower
Findlay
2 night stay
Great stay
Nice and clean, cosy and bed was comfy.
Alan was a good host.
Loved the personal touch where the light breakfast is brought to your room at the time which suits.
Also, in case there are any folk out there who may want to know where they are staying is secure use this place. Nobody can gain access without an electronic key fob from the host. When you arrive there is a video doorbell which adds to the security. (Not that you would need it as Tarbert is a nice place)

Great little hotel in small town. Location great. Service was great. Stayed one night on our way to the ferry to Islay.
Laura
We arrived around 8:45pm. It was contactless checkin but
It was very quick and easy and no problems at all. Property was always quick to respond to me and communication was great. We basically just slept there so we can not comment about much else. We left for the ferry at 5:50 am so I am not sure if breakfast is good or not. Very clean and the room was great!

Classic B+B stay
Loved my one night stay in this house. Great to meet Alan and his service was personalised. The whole house is full of his memorabilia, really beatifically decorated. Would return!
Zonda
Fending for ourselves in Tarbert
When I booked the description said parking available. It wasn’t, you had to take your luck in public car park.
We did not see the host at all. It was like he was invisible. Breakfast delivered to room and left outside. No contact with host.
Good location in the town.

Captains Suite Tarbert
The Grand Suite, now labeled as the Captain's Suite is very large and comfortable spread over 2 floors. We really enjoyed the space, with one major complaint! The bed is advertised as a queen, and I believe it was a double. Plus, it was avery short bed, with a head and footboard. It made for 2 very difficult nights of attempted sleeping! That being said, if you don't require a larger bed, I believe this is one of the best options available in Tarbert.
Catherine

Richard

Great location and lovely property. Didn't sleep great due to light from hall and early morning breakfast delivery for other guests.

The property is lovely. Practices put in place to address covid are still in place, so no one greets you and breakfast is delivered to the room.
Matt and April
Perfect location and place!
This place was great! Alan made us feel right at home. We scrambled to find a place to stay after the ferry to isle of Arran was canceled due to weather. I’m glad we found such a nice place! Thanks again
Johanna
Lovely place in an amazingly beautiful historic fishing port. Ample room to hang out, comfortable bed, lovely touches and very friendly and accommodating host. Highly recommended.
CAMPBELL
Great position and location. There are several stairs in the property. Quality and care were good.
Check in was easy, albeit with no contact with the staff.
Facilities were. Wifi and mobile phone reception were ok.
Breakfast was good and efficient, delivered on a tray at a specific time.
Check out was at 10am, which I feel in these days, is a bit early.
In my opinion it should be either 11am or 12pm.
All a bit rushed on the morning of check out.
Overall, had a great stay and would definitely return.

The accommodation was well placed in Tarbert. The house was very clean and well appointed. The breakfast was excellent. I would highly recommend stay here and I would book again in the future.
Iain
Excellent location, quiet, good breakfast, but poor sleep quality with too many low level bedside lights, lights from TV and Sky box, and flashing smoke alarm light, bit like a lighthouse, not to mention the ticking clock.
I know Im a light sleeper, but hardly slept a wink.

Alan is a great host and the suite is so well equipped with a wonderful view too. Spacious, comfortable and charming, our only regret was spending one night only.
Verified traveler
Stayed at knap guesthouse before and knew it would be perfect for us. Nothing was to much for our hosts Alastair and alan. Although we were out most of the time it was always nice to get back take a nice shower and relax.
Angela
Lovely comfortable, clean room, all covid regulations adheted to. Breakfast ordered night before and delivered to your door just now. Only point I would give is to put fabs in the rooms. This was an exceptionally hot weekend and a fan would have been a great help. Met Alan in the morning, lovely and friendly man. Would strongly recommend as a good place to stay.
Moira
Exccellent stop over stay.
Very handy location easy to find. Had fresh milk.. bit small amount. breakfast in room due to covid. pre ordered and was excellent. fresh butter and jam. delicious egg and baconroll. Ate at Anchorage Restaurant. Advise pre booking if possible as busy for visitors taking ferries.

Centrally located near the harbour within walking distance of all amenities and restaurants. Easy, no-contact check-in.

Great B&B right in town
I only stayed one night but I couldn't fault the Knap B&B. The room was clean and tastfully decorated with a view towards the harbour.
I was leaving pretty early to catch a ferry, 06.00, but Alan made sure I had a roll and bacon to go.
The location is perfect as it's right in the centre of Tarbert. Plenty of on street parking is available along the harbour side.

Too Much Information - Would stay again!
Well appointed and relatively spacious room and bathroom were a great start.Tarbert seems, and probably is, a bit grimy ( don't look too closely at the water), but two quayside pubs were fine behind forbidding exterior. Breakfast delivered to room suited me but I guess it wouldn't suit all. Don't believe the wait they advise at the chip shop. Starfish restaurant very good.

Excellent B&B
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Tarbert at the Knap guest house. Our room was comfortable and spacious with, I'm delighted to report, good soundproofing. Breakfast has changed because of Covid and is delivered to your room. We had a table with views of the harbour from which to enjoy it. Hot filled rolls instead of the usual options made for a refreshing change.
I would definitely recommend and can absolutely understand the high ratings which drew us here in the first place.

nice little place
A lovely little guest house right on the port. The room was nice and had everything I needed - fluffy towels, hot shower, toiletries, hairdryer, kettle, etc, plus some nice little touches such as a bottle of milk in the fridge
Breakfast was good, delivered to my room. Check in and out were easy

Stay Here!!!
Fantastic place near the ferry. We stayed only one night while passing through-wish we would have been able to stay longer.
Alistair, is a fantastic host, met us for check in, made us an amazing breakfast, and was very nice. We enjoyed the breakfast conversation. The wifi was good, the bed comfortable and parking on the street was easy in November.
Thank you Alistair..

Beautiful Tarbert
Alistair was very welcoming, helpful and friendly. Our room overlooked the harbour at Tarbert. The room was tastefully done and very comfortable.There were nice little touches eg fridge in room, sweets in a jar. The guest rooms were above shops. It was a doctors house with pharmacy underneath and surgery at the back. The parking was on the street but it was free and we got a space ok. The guest house is right in the middle of Tarbert at the harbour very convenient for the restaurants and shops. It is a beautiful little town and an ideal spot to stay to travel the Kintyre peninsula, which is also very beautiful. I would certainly return here if we travel to that region again.

Perfect stop on Port Fyne
Wonderful place to stay! The hotel room was beautifully decorated, with lots of homely touches, and impeccably clean and comfortable. The owner was very friendly and helpful, and cooked an excellent breakfast. Could not recommended highly enough.

A great find.
A great find. All in all no real negative observations other than our room being a little cramped but with a great view. Our host was more than up to the job. A great breakfast, service and choice' promptly served with a smile at all times. Thank you very much.
