Perfect stay.took our great dane there for the weekend.very dog friendly and made to feel right at home.very large garden with loads of seating inside and out.breakfast was spot on.

The hotel is great. It is old but and needs renovating but ambience, food, location, service are all top notch. The room we were given was 101, so called garden suite. The room was very old and smelled of mold. Our allergies flared up and we couldn’t sleep all night. There was no wi fi in the room. Bath drain was not working properly and it flooded while showering. The heat turned off at 9pm and it was cold during the night. This was a suite and the pricing was according to it status (actually quite expensive). We won’t stay in this room again even if they offer it for free. The hotel though; we might come back but make sure we don’t get this horrible room again.

We stay here twice a year and love it.

The property is rather quaint, but the service is excellent and nothing is too much trouble. Some areas are pretty dated, but it kind of adds to the charm of the place. An extremely good and friendly atmosphere with lots of repeat visitors. Short, easy walk to a lovely long beach.

We had a very enjoyable time at Knoll House Hotel. The setting is beautiful, very close to Studland beach. Every member of staff was friendly, cheerful and very helpful.

I love this hotel it’s so friendly clean and the staff are extremely polite

Just a little time to relax and enjoy

The location was excellent and the food was good. However, the standard of internal and external decor was below standard.

Lovely quirky hotel has so much history. Staff were wonderful and location couldn't be better. All round perfect for a quiet break just to get away from it all.

Lovely hotel, bit dated but that is more than made up by the service and food. The view is to be seen. The food packages are well worth the cost, the food is excellent and portions are huge.

Very disappointing. Staff not friendly no nice atmosphere. Room not as good as a premier inn and it cost me twice as much. Will not be visiting again. Jean jones.

Nice hotel with helpful staff, the outdoor areas are great as is the heated outdoor pool.

Fab hotel but very out dated which is Shame as it is in an amazing location with stunning views, Taxi service wasn’t very obliging.

We arrived not quite knowing what to expect after reading mixed reviews. First impression was the buildings were dated and a bit shabby. However we got a warm welcome and early check in to our room which, although not huge, had clearly been well refurbished not too long ago. As we started to settle in we became more accepting of the artexed walls and dated feel of the public areas and appreciated the stunning location, very freindly staff throughout and great food. We slept well thanks to a good quality mattress and the absence of howling dogs, which had been one of our concerns. We swam in the cold September sea, followed by the outdoor pool, which at 26' wasn't hot, but certainty a huge improvement on the 16' sea! We loved the steamroom, sauna and hot tub, which we had to ourselves and I don't think I've ever had a better full english breakfast despite numerous stays in 5 star accommodation. The Enid Blyton and other memorabilia was very interesting and we took one of the recommended walks through lovely moorland with stunning views. We did find it a bit pricey for a 3 star hotel, but taking into account the location and everything else, including the endless choice of both indoor outside places to sit and relax, we had a great 2 night stay and would recommend.

We had unique and wonderful stay. Whilst it’s dated in places, it’s got real character and is well looked after. The pools, and spa facilities were all the right temperatures and very well cleaned, staffed and maintained. There was a slight issue with the room, but the staff rehoused us with no issue. The walks behind the hotel was utterly stunning- a very tranquil yet accessible spot.

Booked dinner, bed and breakfast for one adult and two kids. Was charged an outrageous amount for the children’s meals. They tried to charge me for my adult meals. They had done this to other guests. It’s a rip off hotel.
