This hotel is not for everyone. It is old fashioned in style , a 1930s build that’s not been renovated but sadly due to be but has so far kept its original charm .The staff and service are excellent with good food. Knoll beach is unspoilt, only a cafe and NT shop. Beautiful scenery.

We love staying at the Knoll house, it’s a very unique hotel in such a lovely setting. You can walk across the road to the beach. It is perfect for dogs. It is a five minute ride from Swanage. There is a bus that stops right outside the hotel and will take you to sandbanks or Swanage it is surrounded by so much countryside and nature. It’s a wonderful place. Our dog loves it as well.👍

The Knoll house hotel is set in beautiful surroundings and has an old fashioned vibe. The staff are absolutely lovely and were incredibly helpful and kind. Observing some of the guest behaviour they also have the patience of saints. What makes the hotel stand out is it's setting. Beautiful views across Studland and walks on your doorstep. The rooms are clean and adequate, they are not particularly luxurious but if they were we probably wouldn't be able to afford to stay here. The restaurant food was good hotel quality but not anything to get excited about but there are plenty of good pubs in driving distance and the food was not overly expensive. I found it an extremely homely and relaxing stay. Absolutely perfect for dogs and truly dog friendly.
