The Knipoch House Hotel, part of the renowned Sonas Hotel Collection, is offering one lucky reader the chance to experience delectable dining at Knipoch, set in beautiful surroundings, overlooking Loch Feochan – just 6 miles from Oban.
Inspired by a love of the sea and island life, the Sonas Collection’s story began back in 2003, with the intimate Skye gem, Toravaig. What owners, Ken Gunn and Anne Gracie Gunn saw as the ’ship ashore’ soon became a companion to the new adventures being offered on their yacht "Solus" - which fitted in the collection perfectly because of Toravaig’s nautical nods.
For eleven years, experienced Sea Captain, Ken and coastal skipper, Anne combined their love for hospitality and sailing by hosting sailing excursions and weddings aboard through the Sound of Sleat to the Small Isles and St Kilda.
As demand grew, the next addition to the Sonas Collection was in 2007. Duisdale is just three miles from Toravaig, and after renovating this Victorian mansion, it soon became the much-loved characterful house you see today.
Eight years later, the collection expanded with the addition of the iconic Skeabost, just north of Portree. And at this time, Anne’s daughter, Jen and her family joined the business.
The latest addition in 2023 further down the coast from our Skye homes, situated on the outskirts of the charming town of Oban is the delightful Knipoch House Hotel.
