Knockinaam Lodge

Perfect spot to end our holiday in Scotland. Very helpful, friendly staff. Attentive to our needs from morning to night. Located by the Irish Sea with sitting areas. Dinners and breakfasts were a first class dining experience. Love the scones and shortbread, too.Thank you for a lovely peaceful stay in the Churchill room. Hope to return in the future.

The danger of going back to a place you have been before and thought was good is that you are disappointed the second time. I am happy to report that Knockinaam was even better second time around and my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit. We were in the South room this time which is a lovely, big, airy room with a great view out to sea and across the pond. The food was as sublime as ever and we were fortunate to be with other guests who enjoyed a chat after dinner. We were able to visit a lot of the attractions nearby as they were all open. So we had an excellent visit and we are both looking forward to our next visit!

We had a wonderful overnight stay and had an amazing 7 course dinner. Sheer skill by the chef and fantastic service by the team. Friendly accommodating and helpful. A peaceful setting with beautiful natural Galloway landscape. Rooms are comfortable and offer ample space. Thank you and we will be back

The location is lovely - right on the sea with no other development nearby. The hotel is stylishly furnished in a traditional way, and very comfortable with ample space to sit around in the residents’ lounges. We were in the “Whins” suite, with excellent views over the garden and out to sea. The food is excellent, thanks to head chef Tony Pierce; fillet steak, grouse and delicious but light patisserie were memorable. Finally, the numerous staff were all helpful and cheerful.

Repeat visit for us & went with friends this time. Warmly welcomed. Accommodation was lovely, very clean & comfortable. Staff were excellent. Evening meal absolutely delicious & of extremely high standard. Menu was inventive & made great use of seasonable ingredients. Excellent choice of wine & drinks. Also a superb breakfast. Lovely sanctuary to escape the busy world & relax. Will be back. Thank you.

Had the most wonderful overnight stay at this hidden gem. Everything perfect from the moment we arrived seeing the beautiful view until we left. Staff very attentive and friendly from serving our arrival tea and coffee with delicious shortbread down at the cove, fantastic service during dinner and evening turndown. Food superb and catered to everyone due to be asked our likes and dislikes before arrival. Looking forward to our 2 night stay next weekend
