A boutique country house hotel on Loch Feochan near Oban, refurbished under the Sonas Collection with a destination restaurant and outdoor hot tub.

About Knipoch Hotel

Knipoch Hotel sits above Loch Feochan around six miles south of Oban, a historic country house that reopened in 2024 as part of the Sonas Collection following a substantial renovation. Its 26 rooms and suites look out over the loch towards the surrounding hills and islands, combining classic Highland furnishings with updated bathrooms and interiors.

Food is a focus here, with a Scottish-leaning main restaurant alongside the destination fine dining 1635 Restaurant, plus a cosy bar with an open coal fire and a whisky selection drawing on nearby distilleries. An outdoor hot tub and spa treatments add a more contemporary touch, and the hotel is dog-friendly throughout much of its accommodation.

Its position just off the A816 makes it an easy base for exploring both Oban and the coast road south towards Kilmartin Glen, with enough distance from the town centre to feel genuinely rural while still being a short drive from the harbour and ferry terminal.
