The Knoll House

The Knoll House

10/10 Excellent
"It was wonderful, the bed was incredibly comfortable and real value for money with the breakfast, we would definitely come again. The only down side was that the car park was a bit hit and miss, a lot of the space said no parking."

8/10 Good
"The rooms were nice, clean, and comfortable, and the breakfast had a good variety with a generous spread. There is ample parking available, although parking is a paid feature. The location is also convenient, with several famous beach destinations just around a 10-minute drive away."
