The Knoll House

The Knoll House

10/10 Excellent
"I knew that it was an old building with an interesting history and that is part of its charm, so not surprising that it could do with a bit of maintenance. However, that did not affect my stay. I really enjoyed staying there, the room was clean and had everything I needed. The staff were attentive and helpful. The food was of good quality, well cooked and presented. The situation is lovely and I particularly enjoyed being able to sit on the lawn or terrace and enjoy the view. I was staying on my own but felt quite content, and comfortable to be there. I just needed to get away for a few days break and Knoll House proved to be the perfect place for me."
