Wonderful period hotel for romantic getaway
Surprisingly we seemed to be the only first timers at this establishment, which says a lot. Some were on their third visit this year. We found some staff have served for over 25 years which says a lot about the team. It is in a beautiful setting outside of the local village, a very short walk from Studland beach. We made good use of the plunge pool, Jacuzzi, steam room and sauna. An open air pool is available in the summer. I am not sure about wheelchair accessible rooms, as ours was ground floor but had some steps. Rooms further away from reception (62) have very poor WiFi signal. Its a lovely 30's style building that has been altered little, so expect it to be quaint and nostalgic. We are older so loved the style, yet younger families also had a lot of facilities such as a games room and cinema. I could go on, but I am sure there are many other fantastic reviews. We will certainly return.

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.
