Top Knoll Beach Hotel Reviews

The Knoll House

8/10 Good

"If you don’t pay for the hotel directly you have to pay £10 per person per day to use the pool. This adds up for a family. We went for the weekend but check in wasn’t until 4pm and so we had an hour in the pool after 4pm and check out was at 11am on the Sunday, but when we tried to pay on the Sunday we were told that the hotel was at capacity and couldn’t purchase any use of the pool. There was no use booking a hotel with a pool we couldn’t use. They allowed glass by the pool and my grandson managed to cut himself on someone’s broken glass during the one hour we were there. The pool is lovely so it was v disappointing not to use it"

Grand Hotel Swanage

10/10 Excellent

"This was a lovely relaxing overnight stay at the end of my holiday. I had a wonderful sea view from my spacious room on the top floor, which had a large fan that quietly delivered a cooling movement of air during the night. It was only a 5-minute walk to the beach for a swim. In the early evening it was lovely to sit & relax in the garden area with no pressure to buy a drink from the bar. The shower was powerful with a large head and a handy second hand held showerhead."

Harbour Heights Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed in the old honeymoon suite by chance, as we booked a dog friendly room and on checking before travel there weren’t any available- so they allowed us this room as we’d paid ahead! Beautiful views of the sea and over the terraces of the hotel. The room itself, including the bathroom, as with most of the hotel, was very dated. The carpet was quite marked and 2 simple tub chairs were for ‘lounging’ in. Appreciated the aircon! The evening meal first 2 courses were excellent. Unfortunately we didn’t receive our desserts ordered so gave up and went to bed. There was no Sauvignon Blanc or Rose wines available (a change of bar manager that week apparently). A substitute bottle not listed was found - and we were charged £10 more than the most expensive one showing on the drinks menu ! Not what we’ve experienced anywhere else. After 2 discussions £5 reduction was given on our overall bill on checkout. Nb. Travelling with the dog means you get to have breakfast in the Loune area just aside from the main restaurant. It’s a bonus- lovely views of the sea!"

Purbeck House Hotel

8/10 Good

"A very quirky, interesting, historical Hotel a short stroll from all the amenities that Swanage have to offer. Friendly helpful staff from start to finish, all very knowledgeable regarding the history of the hotel. It’s obviously like the forth bridge regarding the upkeep and maintenance, but that’s expected with an old building,it adds to its charm. All areas were clean and tidy. We stayed in The Louisa Lodge accommodation, slightly away from the main house, we had a Sea view across the rooftops, the room and en-suite had everything you needed and clean. Breakfast was more than adequate not everyone wants cooked breakfast every day, it was pretty much what I would normally have for breakfast at home, if you feel the need for a full English plenty of places a very short stroll away. Great parking facilities on site. Spoke to several other guests who were returning visitors. As a couple who doesn’t mind not having all singing all dancing modern facilities I'm sure we will be returning."

Sandbanks Hotel

8/10 Good

"Some areas showed their age . Staff where courteous and kind . Views are wonderful but the terrace needs tidying up. Breakfast was like a feast! 25 to 30 years ago we used to come regularly for several holidays a year. It's an old building and needs a brush up. They've tried to maximise money making on the terrace not all of which is easy on the eye . However despite criticism I'm already planning a return trip ."
