I stayed with my wife for two nights at the end of May this year. Our experience of the hotel was all vey good. Having read some of the reviews from others moved me to add my own. The hotel is very comfortable, the room we enjoyed (Churchill) is spacious with beautiful view over the garden and towards the foreshore.... more

I have jst checked out of this hotel and had to book another one. We loved the beautiful location and the food was of a good standard although too small portions and we were left hungry.

The staff are always so welcoming, friendly and attentive. The room (we stayed in Whin) is very comfortable, decorated to a high standard, and the en suite bathroom is... more

We have stayed at Knockinaam more times than we can remember as it is so convenient to the port of Stranraer, when on our way to and from our home in Northern Ireland. It is like staying with friends; it never disappoints, with its friendly yet professional staff, beautiful setting, comfortable bedrooms and delicious food and excellent wines. The hosts,... more

Really enjoyed our stay here - the food is exquisite! Really comfortable, clean, relaxed nicely decorated (saw every room) Good traditional service and style. This is how things should be done! Also owner Sian, very friendly. Already recommended to friends and family. Thank you more
