Homely and Full of Character
If you wish to avoid the usual sterile and corporate hotel chains, Knoll House hotel might fit the bill. Full of character with plenty of comfortable lounge rooms, a library, bar and open fire, Knoll House offers real homely comforts. A slight downside for non dog owners is the hotel’s welcoming approach to dogs which encourages many to bring their family pouches, as a consequence, there is much talk of dogs to be heard about the place. Food was good and service excellent, we really enjoyed our stay.

Hotel needs updating, we stay only for one night and that was alright but definitely I wouldn’t stay there for longer. Staff at the reception was lovely but young staff at the restaurant needed to pay attention to the way they present themselves for breakfast ( they uniform was not up to the standards, shirts was grey and not iron)also when I mentioned discreet to one young lady who was serving breakfast that they have rooted apple there instead of removing straight away she walks away with like smiley on her face , a bit unprofessional. If you talk about facility in the swimming and spa …well is very old and needs good cleaning and renovations, jacuzzi was not working and pool was very cold also people was taking babies to the jacuzzi! Room was alright, tv a bit too small for the size of the room. Would I stay there again? No
