The Knoll House

The Knoll House

8/10 Good
"A lovely but tired classic old fashioned hotel. We stayed in the garden wing. Functional but snug bedroom. The bathroom and loo had been upgraded and were pretty decent. The hot water for the somewhat weak shower was very limited and so cool was the order of the day! Loved having a separate loo. Dinner was fab. Tasty and great value. Breakfast too was super! Cannot fault the staff. Friendly and helpful. All in all it’s a lovely old fashioned hotel with a great comfortable feel."
