Knockinaam Lodge

In this legendary, hidden hunting lodge, Chef Tony Pierce makes magic of traditional gastronomy, leaning heavily on local producers and tending the large kitchen garden himself. This is one of Scotland's most fabled romantic hotels, sitting in its own bay looking over the sea, with the lights of Belfast twinkling across the night sky. It's a thoroughly enchanting scene where Churchill and Eisenhower met to plan D-Day and John Buchan found inspiration for The 39 Steps. Atmosphere in bucketloads, with incredible cuisine to match.
