Knockderry Country House Hotel

Lovely period property with a stunning view of the loch. The room was comfortable with plentiful tea and coffee.

Severely understaffed hotel. We paid £250 for a room and were expecting luxury, or at least some form of relaxation. Staff were run off their feet (I think there were only 2 front of house staff for the whole hotel), we couldn’t get tea/coffee at breakfast as the waiting staff kept forgetting, dinner was average, felt very much like we shouldn’t bother the staff as they seemed under pressure from every direction. There was only one towel in the bathroom and no iron. I would have paid £100 for the room and been content with the level of service. Very disappointing.

Really nice building with cosy atmosphere, friendly & accommodating staff and very clean. Great views of Loch Long from the dining room. Breakfast & dinner were all good.

Lack of soundproofing in the rooms unfortunately, very firm beds and thin pillows. Dinner menu not hugely accommodating for vegetarians with only 1 option.

Beautiful building - wonderful food and nice location . Staff were wonderful and friendly . Room was gorgeous warm and comfy .

New Year’s Eve dinner was expensive £85 plus service charge each on top of the hotel stay . We were disappointed that the singer didn’t play upbeat music even after midnight so no dancing and no bagpipes no fireworks even though we were small in number we felt that towards midnight we could have been told to go into the main restaurant and maybe some bagpipes and countdown to the new year . It wasn’t really any different to any other evening . My husband who is Norwegian was very disappointed that Scottish new year didn’t seem that special . Talking to other customers they felt the same . I felt although the food was superb the actual New Year’s Eve magic was lost

We had the most wonderful stay for our first wedding anniversary. Our host Kirstin was amazing. She indulged us in our crazy idea of wearing our wedding dress and bridesmaid from my wedding last year. The rooms were incredible so clean and well maintained we felt so spoilt and special (four poster beds rock) we slept with the curtains open and watched the moonlight on the water. The bath was out of this world roasting hot with gorgeous smelling bubbles. Dinner was a culinary delight a feast on both our eyes and our taste buds. Breakfast totally hit the spot with Seamus abley catering for all our needs. We cannot recommend Knockderry enough and will definitely make this our go to hotel for a night of pampering and indulgence from such lovely hosts.

Staff and facilities were excellent.

not many things nearby. a little difficult to get to through public transport.

Everything

Nothing

The hotel was lovely. The room was nice, but no view from the bedroom.

The downstairs was cold. We had a drink before dinner in the longue but it was cold.
