We are very regular visitors to the area and have been for the last 10 years. We have visited Knockinaam Lodge for lunch or afternoon tea twice and won't do so again. The first time we were with friends who had twin toddlers. We'd read the reviews and thought the place had to be worth a visit for lunch. The... more

A bit of a gamble since this area of Scotland is new for us. But various reviews of Knockinaam Lodge persuaded us to spend 3 nights here - 1 night in Bay then 2 nights in South. Honestly - this hotel is outstanding in every way. Even at £300 per night DB&B (per room, 3 night deal) it represents excellent... more

We went to Knockinaam as a spring treat, as they had good special deals available. We stayed in the smallest room (east) which was compact but still had plenty of room and a generous sized bathroom. It was comfortable and well furnished. Service was impeccable and discreet. The food was one of the main attractions and it lived up to... more

Me and my wife spent three wonderful days at Knockinaam Lodge. We enjoyed the quiet welcoming surroundings, the overwhelmingly friendly atmosphere that characterized Knockinaam, the staff and the whole experience. First rate food, wine and service. Fabulous views and and a superb way to relax in these stressful times. We can wholeheartedly recommend Knockinaam Lodge for those of you who... more

Surroundings: private beach at the front with an enormous garden. Rolling hills all around. Quiet and picturesque. Staff: very good service from the staff - they kindly pointed out they had... more

No matter, Ian came bounding up into the carpark to carry the bags & escort us to our room before inviting us to tea & shortbread down on the private beach over looking the... more

This is the best hotel we have ever stayed in. It was absolutely fantastic! We were in Hanney up in the attic so the views over the sea were lovely. We spent one very quite afternoon reading and playing board games in the lounge, in front of a huge fireplace whilst eating afternoon tea. The weather was lovely so we... more

We have just returned from a fantastic 2 night break at Knockinaam. Unfortunately the weather made exploring difficult but we definitely plan to return. We took advantage of a March midweek special rate and it really was astonishing value! more

My wife and I had dreamt of visiting Knockinaam Lodge since first reading about its history in a magazine a few years ago. The allure of the Churchill Suite and his bathtub were compaelling, but there is so much more. Wonderful food, a fabulous walk along the sea cliffs to Portpatrick for lunch and back looking across the Irish sea... more
