The Knoll House

8/10 Good
"The Knoll House Hotel is a charming hotel which was once a personal residence. It has a lot of history and is in a delightful location overlooking the sea. There are several comfortable seating areas of various sizes and styles. The restaurant is very large and the food and service is very good. The breakfasts are particularly enjoyable with a plentiful range for self-service. The outdoor swimming pool was heated, despite it being October when we stayed there. There is also a small indoor pool in the pleasant modern leisure complex. Dinner was a minimum of £34 per person plus a 10% gratuity. The wine and other drinks were expensive and also incurred the 10% charge. The staff were pleasant and helpful."

The Lookout - panoramic views; log fire; ONE-dog-friendly, local beaches.

8/10 Good
"This property is beautifully appointed, very clean and tidy and with many little creative touches that make it feel like home. The garden is dog proof and our dog was very happy and comfortable in the house. The Lookout is situated in a wonderful, elevated position with extensive views to the sea in one direction and across to Corfe Castle inland. Michael was not at home when we were there but was very easily contactable by email or text. The only problem for us, which is not in any way the fault of the host, was the restricted size upstairs and particularly the sloping roof in the bedroom and bathroom, which, because I had recently broken my leg, constituted a slight obstacle to total comfort. However - we have absolutely no complaints and thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
