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.
