This former Victorian hunting lodge is an award-winning small luxury hotel, located on its own beach, with lawns sweeping down to the sea. There are ten bedrooms, one of Scotland’s finest restaurants and a wood-panelled whisky bar, home to more than 100 malts. Historically significant, this stunning spot was a secret meeting place between Winston Churchill and General Eisenhower during World War II and continues to offer the perfect tonic for anyone wishing to escape the limelight for a slower pace of life. Fresh produce from the hotel’s kitchen garden and local suppliers provide award-winning head chef Tony Pierce with the perfect ingredients for his delectable menus, presented at dinner over five courses – a true Taste of Scotland. Knockinaam Lodge is a delight and there’s plenty to see in this wonderful corner of the country: Scotland’s National Book Town, the UK’s first Dark Sky Park, pretty fishing village Portpatrick and beautiful gardens, such as the Royal Botanic Garden at Logan.
Visit the Logan Botanic Garden – a little slice of exotic paradise in the southwest of Scotland.
