Knockinaam Lodge, the boutique hotel in south-west Scotland, has opened bookings for its new guest house, Seall Lodge, set on the estate’s hillside overlooking the main lodge and its private cove.
Designed by architect John Murray with interiors by John Dick & Son , Seall Lodge is positioned to maximise views across the bay and surrounding landscape. The name *Seall*, meaning “to see” in Gaelic, reflects the lodge’s focus on sightlines, with all main rooms facing the water.
The lodge features a reverse living layout. The ground floor has two super king bedrooms – one can be a twin – with a master , ensuite and a family bathroom. Upstairs, an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area opens onto a glassfronted balcony and roof terrace.
Hotel Manager Callum McCann said, “Built with natural materials and high levels of insulation, Seall is designed to be energy efficient and long lasting. Its location protects the meadow and wildlife while making the most of the views.”
Seall Lodge is family- and dog-friendly and guests can book a private chef experience, featuring menus based on classical French technique and local produce from the Galloway and Southern Ayrshire Biosphere and the hotel’s organic kitchen garden.
Visitors can also dine in the main lodge’s 3 AA Rosette restaurant. McCann added, “Seall offers privacy and comfort while keeping guests connected to the landscape. Our aim has always been to enhance Knockinaam rather than expand unnecessarily, and Seall achieves that balance.”
