Knoll House

Some staff were not helpful. Breakfast was disappointing. Rooms average. Pool was unswept, shoddy though the pool itself was good.

Nice very big rooms. Great breakfast. Quick walk to beach. Never found the swimming pool. WiFi very poor in my room but fine in main building. Parking was chaotic, they need to use paint to delineate parking bays and maybe book bays for overnight people.

Had a good stay. However i found the bed to be very hard and the property to be very dated. Everything was very clean, but the 1st impression wasn't what i had hoped for. The location is wonderful, a great beach within a few minutes walk. Staff were all lovely. However for me it is time to renevate, starting with the rooms and their furniture. I did not try the extended facilities such as the spa, so can't comment.

Perfect

Stayed in a family room which was great, only one door to the hall though the kids could reach the lock. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Shower room was very nice, clearly new, great shower! lovely products and towels. Beds were comfy and the room was very nearly blacked out by the curtains. The games room was fun, there is a separate room for younger children with TV and DVDs as well as books and toys. Indoor pool was perfect for the kids, hot tub wasn't working well but the sauna and steam were lovely for a short relax. Pirate ship play area was a hit! Food was enjoyable and staff friendly. Grateful that is was quiet as that suits us well. Path to the beach is bit rocky and uneven, best to walk via the road, short walk (few mins) car park is National Trust so pricey if not a member. Beach is fab. Cinema room was good. Plenty of spaces to sit around the hotel inside or out. Great to be able to take the dog with us. Overall would recommend - its not 5 star but its a lovely place for a short break esp with kids.
