Was so looking forward to our little break away after a long hard year...the hotel was very dated . Single glazed metal windows that the wind howled though .shower in the bath that my husband had to stoop down to use.. the bed was clean and comfortable...but very high..the food for the evening meal was minuscule so if you have a hearty appetite maybe eat elsewhere. My pork tenderloin was rubbery . Red cabbage was bitter. And if the potatoes were supposed to be Christy roasted . They were definitely not.more like tined and flashed fried ..not value for money..they also charge for table water..and

Starting with what's good about Knoll House Hotel - very friendly staff, comfy beds, a great cooked breakfast, some very relaxing seating areas with open fires and an accessible baby grand piano (which my daughter spent hours on). There's no doubt the buildings themselves are tired - flaking external paint on windowsills, threadbare carpets in hallways, our bathroom looked like my Dad fitted it in 1992 and I'd liken our bedrooms to the standard on offer at a Travelodge. However, the venue's quirkiness, which is a mixture of the movie Dirty Dancing, the BBC series Hi-de-hi! and Enid Blyton's Magic

Lovely stay and looked after by some busy staff. We stayed in Enid Blyton's favourite room with the lovely view across Poole Bay. There were some small shortcomings, but everything was sorted out to our satisfaction. (No charge for the late veg.) We have recommended you to friends already (booking soon) and we will return in the warmer weather.

Lovely stay, busy hotel but well run and organised. Nice room with smashing countryside view, quiet clean and comfortable. Nice cosy lounge areas with log fire, great after a long walk on the beach. All the food we had was flavoursome well presented and plenty, good choices each night. Gonzo and Alex are lovely people, looking after you in a efficient helpful and friendly way.
We would recommend Knoll House for a relaxing stay.

We have stayed here a few times as it's in a lovely location. The hotel is very good and comfortable. This is the first time we didn't enjoy the breakfast, it was not up to the standards we had on previous visits. However, it wouldn't put me off staying again. It is just minutes from Knoll beach which is lovely

My wife and I, newly married, had a lovely honeymoon at the amazing knoll house hotel. We love its 1930s arts and crafts country house charm. The warmth and cosy feel is so welcoming. The hotel staff were so friendly and helpful. The dining experience was wonderful amazing food and drinks. We had great days out too to local Shell Bay, Knoll Beach and Harry's Rocks. We were sad to go home!

Staff were very friendly and helpful on phone before we arrived and in person. Had a wonderful walk out the back of the hotel (were we saw some deer) onto the Heath. Reception has some walking routes. Dinner was yummy. So many deserts choices made it hard to choose. Dawn walk on the beach was lovely only humans running or out with their dogs at that time. Open air pool is a must.
