What a fabulous view we had over the bay from our room, certainly the best we had out of all the places we stayed on our tour of the west coast! Could happily lie in bed and look at that view all day! We were staying with a dog which, rightly so, was not allowed in the best rooms. The... More

We had a wonderful stay. We had asked in advance for a room with a sea view and had a lovely room with a great view across the harbour. The service was excellent and nothing was too much trouble for Tom and his staff. The location was great too, very handy for almost every amenity. Looking forward to coming back.

A wonderful stay, large bay window over the bay. It was our 50th wedding aniversay, we spent our honeymoon in Oban, so we came all the way back from Australia to share again the wonderful area. Breakfast great bacon and eggs tastes so good in UK. Clean and crisp nothing to complain. Good to walk down to the town.

We stayed one night in no22 big open bay window which looks down onto Oban bay, great view. Clean and warm room with a nice sized bathroom also clean. Had breakfast in the hotel again in a nice room with good views. Breakfast was really tasty and plenty of it. Staff friendly and helpful. Would definately stay again and recommend.

Kings knoll is an journey between elegance and the 1970. The Robins are in the main building and an Anex built in to the main building. My Rooney was an odyssé in to Capet. Thick and red. That makes à problem when the sink is outside the shower and the capet allwys sunk wet. Nice bed, i like when the... More

After leaving Edinburgh, the first stop on our tour was Oban. We found Kings Knoll to be just acceptable. The room was clean, but not particularly nicely appointed. The bed was extremely lumpy. The breakfast was fine, but nothing exceptional.
