We have just thoroughly enjoyed another break at Knockinaam Lodge

We have just thoroughly enjoyed another break at Knockinaam Lodge. It is a perfect retreat - beautiful and secluded, where guests are well looked after by a team of professional staff, invested in your stay. Housekeepers ensure high standards inside (including a turn-down service, which includes turning on the electric blankets!), whilst grounds staff maintain the large, attractive garden (which also serves the kitchen). The chef, Tony Pierce, really does know what he's doing - serving delicious and highly-skilled dishes every night. Breakfast is a treat also.. We have visited several times now and were so impressed when we first stayed that we chose Knockinaam Lodge for our wedding venue - the quality of food and standard of service from all staff being the reasons for this, alongside the stunning location.. You arrive to front of house staff making you feel very welcome and you leave feeling spoiled - thank you Knockinaam Lodge!

A perfect weekend, at a beautiful wedding in a stunning location

A perfect weekend, at a beautiful wedding in a stunning location. My wife & I would like to thank David, his wife & all the staff at Knockinaam Lodge, we cannot fault anything & nothing was too much trouble, & we do mean nothing. The whole setting is idyllic & stunning, the food was amazing (& I am a fussy eater) & as for the costs of drinks, we found our bar bill very reasonable considering the amount we consumed over our 48 hour stay. Thankfully, a branded chain run establishment, it isn't, but then you get what you pay for & the hospitality of the owners & staff comes included. We will be back & we would 100% recommend to anyone, unless you are accustomed to chain run establishment with no character & heart. -David C.
