As others have said, Knoll House is like stepping back in time! The best things about it are it's location and the outdoor pool. The food is also good. Other things are a bit tired. Our room hadn't been cleaned very well and the doors all rattled in the wind!

Hotel was in a great location. Very clean and tidy but looked a bit tired. Bathroom needed some TLC and long wait in restaurant for dinner due to lack of staff, the staff that were there seemed to be working very hard so not their fault. Food was delicious once it arrived.

This was our second visit to Knoll House and after our recent stay we will definitely be booking a third. The location is stunning, such beautiful beaches and wonderful views. We were blessed again with such warm sunny days during our stay. The unique hotel, stuck in time, with the 'retro' interior and quirky features make it all the more appealing for me. The beautiful outdoor pool is my daughter's favourite activity. Knoll house is the perfect place to bring a family for a short stay. The staff are friendly and provide excellent customer service. Breakfast is delicious, a great choice of quality food to choose. A truly wonderful stay.
