Knoll House Hotel offers a delightful retreat surrounded by nature, where the charm of old-world architecture meets the needs for a modern update. Wifi - or should I say no wifi, Trying to stream anything was an exercise in patience and perseverance. Room itself had a connecting door to the other guests... very noisy The check-in process is test of patience - 4pm check in.

Great hotel, horrible room
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.

Knoll House is like a weird time warp of a hotel. It’s very reminiscent of the 1950’s/1960’s vibe with a 1980’s interior so don’t stay if you looking for modern facilities. But it has a certain charm. The highlight has got to be the outdoor pool and the front lawn plus the setting on Studland. The food, cocktails and other features were not great tbh but we enjoyed our stay nonetheless.

Lovely character hotel. We unfortunately ended up in the garden room next to the carpark not the main house. Old feather bed cover and pillows quite scratchy I needed baby lotion at 2am in order to seal my skin and relax. Not a good night's sleep lovely food
