Having last year stayed at an impersonal modern hotel in the centre of town, it was a great relief to be in a comfortable hotel on the fringe with a warm welcome, personal service combined with local knowledge and a great view. The sea view room was well worth the money. Easy access to town centre without the disadvantages and... More

We stayed a night here on our recent trip to Scotland, arriving quite late in the evening. The manager was very welcoming, quickly taking our luggage in for us, and arranging some dinner and drinks. As the rooms are small we had booked two adjacent each other. These proved very comfortable, quiet and cosy with good little ensuites. They were... More

The familiar atmosphere of a private guest house with the comforts of a hotel - what more can you asked for?! Very warm welcome, nice rooms, well sorted whisky bar and a magnificent view over Oban Bay. We really enjoyed our stay for two very enjoyable days. Thanks very much, Tom and Graham, hope to see you again. If we... More

My partner & i who are a young couple chose the Kings Knoll based purely on attempting to find somewhere with character, which encapsulated a flavour of Oban & experiencing something of the local community. We have stated at many of the hotels in Oban over the years including the Queens, Columba, & many B&B's. After a bit of a... More

When we arrived we were made very welcome & shown to our room (21). The room was lovely, very spacious and cosy with a large shower room with a double shower. The view from the room was overlooking Oban which was nice. Breakfast consisted of continental plus cooked breakfast and was cooked to perfection. Car park is a bit of... More

We stayed here just for one night on a Scottish Highland & Skye 5 day trip so we really did not have too long to judge the place. Oban was but a very brief lay over. The Kings Knoll was a cheap and cheerful place and we enjoyed it. Room 21 is the one to ask for if you are... More
