The staff couldn't have done more for us. First class service from the children's dining room, to the waiters to the baby listening. To be able to have your lunch in peace while the wee ones play is a luxury. Real retro decor in the bar and lounges and lovely arts and crafts pieces - the hotel has a unique... More

14 of us stayed for a weekend - we had wonderful food, were able to indiviualise our entire time with the help of the owners and the chefs - lots to do in the area - cant praise it highly enough

We decided to take advantage of the 1st Christmas opening at Knoll House for 50 years by booking our family dinner there. We started with a couple of drinks in the rather nautical bar, the atmosphere was extremely convivial. In the space of just a few minutes I was introduced to at least a dozen other guests and really did... More

But don't come if you are expecting international chain hotel facilities. What makes this place so special, are the friendly personable staff and the location of the hotel on the Purbeck peninsular, very close to Studland beach. We have been coming for nearly 20 years since our first child was only a year old and regard the hotel almost as... More

We had a fantastic 5 day break. The staff were really friendly and we had a fantastic room with a sea view and large balcony (although there are not many rooms with balconies) with a smaller interconnecting room for the children. The room had been refurbished recently and had a flat screen TV. We did not bother with a key... More

Knoll House Hotel - thank you - We will be back and we are pleased we found you. This place is fabulous for children. This place is fabulous for YOU. We arrived to a friendly welcome and explanation of how things work. Trouble is my husband booked and didn't tell me about not all eating together. I must admit I... More

My wife and I work really hard in London! We need to escape as often as we possibly can. We are well travelled but have never experienced a place quite like Knoll House. I usually look on Trip Advisor to check out the reviews, but I am an expert (even though I say it myself) for spotting silly negative comments.... More

Tired of Being Alone? I thought this review might help people like me. I am a lady of a certain age who finds it hard sometimes to go places on my own. Firstly I plucked up courage to telephone this hotel and ask if there was any extra charge for a single room, as lots of hotels charge extra if... More

This hotel is in a superb location and looks impressive from the outside. It prides itself in being a friendly family run, traditional hotel. I have stayed here a number of times but only because I love the area, not because I like the hotel. I am not sure what it means by traditional, but it could be argued that... More
