Knockinaam Lodge

A very special place indeed, on my own with 2 dogs who loved the grounds and direct access to the beach while I sat at the in the garden seating area and had a coffee. Callum and all staff are fantastic with very high standards and the food was outstanding with a 7 course dinner and breakfast included in my booking. The cost of my stay was very reasonable taking all things into consideration and I totally understand why people keep going back year after year.

This off the beaten track hotel was a haven of calm. Stunning and spacious position. Well thought out inspiring menus at dinner and breakfast, attentive personable staff and a very cosy and beautiful room (Whin). Good clifftop walks. Other guests were charming too. For the reason we were there, we'll remember our stay for the rest of our lives. Excellent.

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!
