Knoll House is in a unique and stunning location, close to the SW coast path, with views over the sea to the IoW.
The hotel itself has an air of faded glory, but our room (a garden suite) was clean and comfortable, with a recently refurbished bathroom, quality toiletries and bedding. Our only issue related to the power points - the only usable one was behind a cupboard with an extension block for the kettle etc. , nothing near the bed. The TV was connected to the only other socket... an ancient round-pin one!
The breakfast buffet, served in the dining room with wonderful sea views, catered for a wide choice, and the evening meal selections were very tasty and nicely presented.
The hotel staff (reception, dining room and housekeeping ) were particularly helpful, and made us feel very welcome.
We are already planning a return visit.
