Knockinaam Lodge - Luxury Hotels in Galloway

At the south west tip of Scotland, yet only two hours from Glasgow, lies Knockinaam Lodge, one of Scotland’s finest small hotels, surrounded by 40 acres of garden with immaculate lawns running down to a private sandy beach. Knockinaam has the warm, inviting feel of a country house with friendly staff who offer outstanding service.

There are 10 wonderful bedrooms, all with very different personalities. The traditional ambiance of the bedrooms is complemented by contemporary comfort. Fresh flowers, quality toiletries and other little touches create the perfect welcome when you first open the door. Dining is a gastronomic experience. The skilful presentation of fresh local produce is matched to a stunning cellar and a vast selection of malts. The classical precision of the chef’s skilful Scottish cooking mixes well with attentive service in the elegant, candlelit restaurant. If the scenery does not take your breath away, the food will.

Knockinaam Lodge is steeped in history –Sir Winston Churchill met General Eisenhower and their Chiefs of Staff here during the Second World War and the area was the setting of John Buchan’s 39 Steps. This history, which is etched into the villages, towns and farms of this cornerstone of Scotland, is waiting to be explored.
