It was tough to choose with literally hundreds of bottle of wine presented on the wine menu, but a Pfalz Pinot Noir piqued our interest thanks to previous adventures climbing in the Pfalz ;-)
Gin & Tonic? Cheers!

Knockinaam Lodge

Sunday, 15th December 2024

As a very special pre-xmas treat Laetitia took us to the most amazing hotel for a complete five-star experience. Knockinaam Lodge is famed not just for its luxury accommodation and food, but also for its links to John Buchan and his book The 39 Steps; and to Churchill, who stayed here to plan parts of the liberation of France in WWII…

It was tough to choose with literally hundreds of bottles of wine presented on the wine menu, but a Pfalz Pinot Noir piqued our interest thanks to previous adventures rock climbing in the Pfalz 😉

The following day we set off for a breezy and superb costal walk straight from the hotel to Durnskey Castle … we were lucky to benefit from rain-free weather, and even more fortunate to enjoy the wonderful views across the Irish Sea to Northern Ireland. 🙂
