What guests think
Across recent reviews, Knap Guest House is praised for its central harbourside setting in Tarbert, clean and comfortable rooms with pleasant views, easy contactless check‑in, and generally good in‑room breakfasts, making it convenient for ferry travelers and short stays.
Several guests highlight friendly, accommodating hosts and thoughtful touches, while others found the self‑service approach impersonal with limited face‑to‑face interaction. A few note stairs to upper floors, public street or waterfront parking rather than on‑site spaces, and occasional road noise for light sleepers. Expect a hassle‑free stay suited to short stops and ferry trips.

We arrived around 8:45pm. It was contactless checkin but It was very quick and easy and no problems at all. Property was always quick to respond to me and communication was great. We basically just slept there so we can not comment about much else. We left for the ferry at 5:50 am so I am not sure if breakfast is good or not. Very clean and the room was great!

When I booked the description said parking available. It wasn’t, you had to take your luck in public car park. We did not see the host at all. It was like he was invisible. Breakfast delivered to room and left outside. No contact with host. Good location in the town.

Great stay Nice and clean, cosy and bed was comfy. Alan was a good host. Loved the personal touch where the light breakfast is brought to your room at the time which suits. Also, in case there are any folk out there who may want to know where they are staying is secure use this place. Nobody can gain access without an electronic key fob from the host. When you arrive there is a video doorbell which adds to the security. (Not that you would need it as Tarbert is a nice place)

The Knap House is a clean and convenient little hotel in Tarbert which is a great place to stay if visiting the Isle of Islay & its distilleries. Its not fancy but has all the amenities. Having a refrigerator is a nice touch. Be ready to climb the stairs; most rooms are on the 3rd floor. The included breakfast was good.

A perfectly pleasant stay. However it lacks the human touch. Everything is automated and seems organised to minimise interaction between host and guest. Breakfast - all three courses at the same time left at your door - eating cereal first meant cold bacon sandwich and cold toast. Run for the proprietor not the guest.

An unusual B&B. Very little personal contact with the owners. No one to welcome us and we were let in on ringing the bell. No dining/breakfast room and breakfast was ordered via leaving a form and then delivered to the bedroom at the time requested. The breakfast was fine though and the hotel clean and comfortable. It was just rather odd and reminded us of going to a hotel at eh height of the Covid pandemic.

What a cute suite! Right on the corner, we could see the bay and people watch. There is a corner store across the street and a great deli/takeaway downstairs. This was just what we needed after a long day in the car. We were lucky with the weather but I think it would be lovely no matter when you visit.

An excellent B&B in Tarbert. Everything about the room was excellent. Loved the wine and cheese left for us on arrival. Having a fridge is a rare bonus in B&Bs. Breakfast was provided at the time requested and we ate it at the table and chairs provided in our room. Parking is not on site but there is plenty of free parking nearby. I would say this was the best nights stay we had in our 2 week holiday in Scotland
