Knockderry House Hotel Shortlist*
Cove, Argyll and Bute
Good Hotel Guide Review
By the shores of Loch Long, romantic turrets and towers add to the Scottish country house experience of Beth and Murdo Macleod’s dog-friendly hotel. The listed baronial building stands in manicured lawns near the Arrochar Alps, surrounded by coastal walks and forest paths; within it are handsome rooms with original fireplaces, wood panelling, tartan carpets and notable stained glass. Several of the freshly redecorated bedrooms have views over the water towards the Argyllshire hills. Imaginative four-course dinners are served in the loch-facing restaurant; more informal meals may be taken in the lounge bar. There are novels and board games to entertain; in nearby Helensburgh, Charles Rennie Mackintosh’s Hill House.
