Knockderry Country Hotel, Argyll and Bute (old a/c)

历史

Although there has been a dwelling of some kind on this site for centuries, Knockderry House as it stands today (meaning ‘hill of oak’ in Gaelic) was originally built around 1846 as a summer retreat.

In 1890 Mr D Anderson, a wealthy wool merchant, decided to upgrade the house in the fashion of the day and asked the well known architect Leiper to draw up plans. The Guest Lounge - and the rooms above were added at that time along with all the turrets and towers that give the house its current distinctive look.  

The Lounge Bar was originally the Music Room and Chapel and still retains many of the original features as does the Billiard Room and the Dining Room, which boasts stained glass by James Guthrie Jnr and Daniel Cottier.

食品与饮料

Our menus change with the seasons, and along with our personally chosen wine list, we hope it reflects the relaxed and friendly atmosphere we attempt to create at Knockderry Country House Hotel.

During the summer, the garden terrace is the ideal place for a light lunch or an early evening drink overlooking the lochside. The Lounge Bar with its magnificent woodcarvings and glorious crackling log fires make a suitably comfortable and relaxing environment in which to unwind at the end to a day walking, sailing or exploring the local area.

Dinner is served in the old wood-panelled dining room of the original house with its glorious stained glass and a charming outlook over Loch Long.

We recommend you reserve your table prior to arrival using the Additional Information section on the booking form. If you have any special dietary needs, please let us know and we will be pleased to meet your needs.

庭院和花园

Knockderry has beautiful grounds to sit and relax. Linn Botanical Gardens are an easy walk away and a facinating trip for the horticulturist.

其他设施

Most of the rooms have wireless internet access. However, due to the age and construction of the building please enquire when booking to ensure that you have wireless broadband access in your room.

We have established the Butler's Pantry on the first landing of the old house for your convenience. There you will find ironing boards, irons, shoe cleaning kit, needle and thread as well as useful items like stationery and a clothes brush. It also contains a collection of videos, CDs and DVDs. There are a variety of books and games available in the hotel.
