Knockinaam Lodge

Local Area

Witness magnificent sunsets which are a feature of this beautiful corner of south-west Scotland. 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.

Knockinham Lodge stands in 30 acres of gardens and woodland with immaculate lawns running down to a private sandy beach. In such a tranquil setting, Sir Winston Churchill met General Eisenhower and their Chiefs of Staff during the Second World War. Featured in numerous magazines and newspapers, it has the warmth and intimacy of a delightful little country inn.

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 todays 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.
