This guest house is right on the harbor with a beautiful view. Several restaurants, pubs, and stores are an easy walk away. Our room was small, but very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was outstanding. Love the elephants.

My wife and my parents ended up staying here for just under a week after our trip to Clachan was scuppered by the snowstorm (2013). Could have been a lot worse off! We took the £99 rooms, which were large, roomy, came with fridge, kettle, fresh milk daily, and super views over the harbour. Alistair, the owner, was extremely friendly... More

We stayed at Knap Guest House for one night on our way to Islay. Alistair was a thoughtful host and his cooked breakfast is wonderful, with locally sourced food being a central theme. Our room was clean and comfy, with a lovely view over the harbour.
