    Christmas Day at Knoll House was an absolute treat. Staff were so attentive and friendly. The food was delicious and there was a great variety of options available. There is an old world charm about the place and the afternoon we spent there evoked many special memories of a simpler time in life. Thoroughly recommend!

    Pleasantly surprised at the peaceful atmosphere. We could enjoy this good meal and hear each other speak, such an unusual feature as you grow older. I hear the breakfast is very good too!

    The Knoll House is an institution. Stuck in the 1950's but in a charming way. Definitely a place to stopover enjoy the gorgeous location and views and enjoy the old school charm and old school service. The 3 course meal is good value and the quality of the food is good enough, the staff are lovely and all seem to get on and with a good wine list...you go for the charm and a relaxed atmosphere.
