Escape and view beautiful coastal scenes, changing as do the seasons. This is the country of John Buchan - the wild remote setting of "The 39 Steps" - and if the hills and rugged coastline are more welcoming to today’s traveller, this is still amongst Scotland's loveliest regions. With the Gulf stream to warm it, the country here is a habitat for flowers and plants which are a surprise and delight.
At the very water's edge, Knockinaam Lodge faces the ever changing Irish Sea. On a fair day, Ireland can be glimpsed on the horizon - and this remote location, sheltered by encircling cliffs, helps to create a very special cosy atmosphere within the house. Small, intimate rooms invite fireside reading, tea in a sunny window-bay or a sip of one of the proprietor's famous and vast collection of single malt whiskies, or a wonderful champagne.
Renowned for the excellence of its modern British inspired cuisine, the restaurant presents a breathtaking selection of over 450 wines, matched by a convivial bar with that palate-tingling collection of over 120 special single malt whiskies.
All this and more could be your escape from your busy lifestyle at Knockinaam. |
