Knockderry House Hotel Shortlist*
Cove, Argyll and Bute
Good Hotel Guide Review
Romantic turrets and towers add to the Scottish country house experience at Murdo and Beth Macleod’s listed baronial building by the shores of Loch Long. In manicured lawns, the dog-friendly hotel is near the Arrochar Alps, and surrounded by coastal walks and forest paths. Inside, homely lounges have notable stained glass, original fireplaces, wood panelling and tartan carpets; guidebooks, novels and traditional board games to entertain. Among well-equipped bedrooms furnished with character, the best have views over the water towards the Argyllshire hills. From varied breakfasts to modern dinners, Scottish provenance is featured in the restaurant, once a chapel and music room, overlooking the loch.
