Knockinaam Lodge is noted for its elegance and warmth - it has the warm, inviting feel of a delightful, private country house rather than the formal atmosphere of many country house hotels. Having only ten bedrooms gives you the feeling you are staying with friends.
This area is still one of Scotland's truly best kept secrets. And there are few restrictions to your enjoyment of the great outdoors. There are many leisure highlights to enjoy including shooting and stalking, golf at nearby courses, fishing, walking and cycling.
You need to feel good to enjoy a great meal to the full and this is guaranteed by a small yet spacious, elegant yet very relaxing and romantic candlelit restaurant which preserves a compelling atmosphere of intimacy and peacefulness.
The essence of beautiful stress free landscapes - captured superbly in the hotel - the highest standards of hospitality and comfort meticulously blended with glorious period pieces, wood panelling, wonderfully individual bedrooms and an atmosphere exuding grace, relaxation, timelessness and tranquillity.
