Top Knoll Beach Hotel Reviews

Sandbanks Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous stay The upgrade was Huge!! All Staff are so friendly and very nice..breakfast was delicious and a good variety I could literally touch the sand from my deck..so beautiful and amazing stay Next time all I want more is a small fridge and safe box the view was fantastic watch the tide and walk on the powder soft sand"

Laguna Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel to me had a great feeling and the staff were professional and friendly. Parking was excellent. And location toward Westbourne was much better in my opinion as easy access to shops and lovely walk down The Avenue to front etc. lovely period side of the area. The hotel is a little dated and reflects a similar interior to other more traditional seaside hotels. Yes it needs some fresh sealant on baths and perhaps the squeaky floor boards need some work but the overall feel outweighed those bits. Some guests need to learn how to close a door quietly at 6am. I do think a walk round with a screwdriver would solve some really basic issues (and happy to elaborate off record). The pool was fine. I forgot to look at gardens which are i think one of largest a hotel has in Bournemouth area. And you could walk into bournemouth almost down through ‘bournemouth gardens’ which are actually lovely. Despite negatives the positives were great and thank you. May not be walkable to front for some but there were bus stops. Despite being near overpass it was actually really quiet. Food looked excellent but i didn’t eat as breakfast started too late at 8am for work and trips."

Red Lion

10/10 Excellent

"The location was perfect, the room clean and the staff helpful. I was glad about the parking behind the Inn. Made it very easy to explore Swanage. Also lovely to grab a drink or food right there."

Lovely seaside chalet with just a 2 minute walk to the beach!

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely house, lots of room for the group, very comfy beds and great location with parking. Walking into Swanage to the restaurants was so easy. Check in and check out was smooth. Comms with Julia was easy and she was very accommodating with an early check in."

Haven Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this hotel would definitely stay here again"

Harbour Heights Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had a pet friendly room overlooking the harbour. It was a good size and ample for our two dogs. Some of the furniture is now a little tired, but the bed was comfortable. The reception staff were very helpful and gave our dogs lots of fuss and attention. The restaurant team in the evenings was exceptional. They couldn’t do enough for us. Accommodated us at short notice and even repositioned us so we could watch the sun set. The food was fantastic. The team at breakfast were far less welcoming and a little more care was needed when cooking. We had overcooked bacon and eggs."

The Knoll House

8/10 Good

"Lovely location, lots of facilities and great breakfast"

The Pines Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful 4 day stay. Beautiful room overlooking the bay. Ample parking. All areas of the hotel were very clean and well maintained. Restaurant serves lovely food using fresh produce. Short walk along the beach to Swanage. Will definitely return."

Sandbanks waterfront flat with panoramic views over Poole Harbour

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful flat with several balconies giving great sea views and views of the boats etc. The rooms were comfortable and clean. As we were on public transport we would have appreciated the offer of paying a bit extra for towels as they tend to take up a lot of room in luggage. Mark was excellent at keeping in touch with us. answering any queries. Supplies of cutlery, crockery and utensils were excellent. Sea views were wonderful. Plenty of chairs for sitting out. Luxurious showers. The only area that needed a bit more care was the area around the kitchen sink.But we were all retired nurses!"
