Top Knoll Beach Hotel Reviews

The Knoll House

8/10 Good

"Great location and excellent room and breakfast Given the amazing weather we had no need for the pool but don’t think its right to charge for using it"

Harbour Heights Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice stay. Nice room over looking harbour really comfortable bed. Lovely breakfast. All in all a very nice stay Thank you"

Sandbanks Hotel

8/10 Good

"Amazing seaviews with beach access."

Purbeck House Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had two rooms in the main house on the top floor. We did not see the inside of the lodges. Experia had a good late offer on a Deluxe Superior Room (which the hotel itself wouldn’t price match) which worked out the same price as a standard sea view room that we had booked through the hotel directly. The rooms were a good size and standard (especially the Superior). The bathrooms in both rooms were a bit tired and perhaps most disappointing was the bath tap mixer shower which just provided a trickle in the standard room. The building is impressive from the outside and interesting on the inside. We liked the period features inside the hotel which included rows of old servants bells and various staircases (but no lift). The lounges, bar and outside seating area were also pleasant with period features but seemed to be hardly used by the guests which was surprising during peak August time. The gardens were well maintained. Breakfast in the conservatory was also pleasant and had all the basics available (cereals, croissants, various breads, coffee machine, but there was no cooked option and most fruits were tinned (grapefruit, raspberries etc). The staff were all friendly and helpful. This is a great place to stay if you prefer somewhere that is interesting with some history rather than a typical hotel room and if you don’t mind a few creaks and old fashioned plumbing."

Haven Hotel

8/10 Good

"Our room was lovely and spotlessly clean but our bathroom was tired and dated and lacked anywhere to put our own items. However, the hotel’s situation was stunning and worth every penny of the cost. The wonderful scenery and views as well as a great sized heated pool with immediate access to a beautiful beach meant that there was really no need to leave the hotel."

Lovely seaside chalet with just a 2 minute walk to the beach!

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing home, location perfect and so very well equipped. Beautiful garden that we made the most of"

Herston Caravan & Campsite

8/10 Good

"Good price for this time of year in the heatwave and location"

Apartment in the sandbanks

8/10 Good

"The location can’t be beat - 1min walk to a path leading to the beach for morning swims. Just a few minutes walk to the chain ferry. A lovely outlook with pine trees and sea glimpses. Spacious, light and comfortable. Just a few things like lack of hand soap in bathrooms, balcony and balcony furniture that we needed to clean before using and lack of homely/useful touches like teabags, local maps/books etc made me take off a star. Otherwise we a lovely stay, thank you!"

Modern apartment on Sandbanks Peninsula, with private garden. (pet friendly)

10/10 Excellent

"Overall our stay was excellent right in the middle of a heatwave. Only niggle was slow water trickle and no hot water to hand basin in bathroom but put up with it as we were only there for 3 nights.Be aware double bed mattress is very soft!"
