“A fantastic stay - With exceptional food - And very friendly Staff - And a great choice beer!”
+The Hotel was an absolute delight from start to finish. One of the first things you notice is the spacious, complimentary car park a real bonus and something that’s surprisingly rare. On arrival, You are greeted by the warmest, friendliest staff, who immediately made me feel welcome. The room was beautifully presented and finished to a very high standard a real credit to the housekeeping team, who were not only excellent at their jobs but also incredibly friendly. It had everything i needed, including plenty of power sockets, a convenient USB port, a large TV, a fridge, and a useful desk area. The modern shower was well equipped, and the complimentary tea and coffee were a thoughtful touch. My room also had a balcony overlooking the village, with a lovely view stretching out to sea. It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. The food was another highlight. The owner is a chef, and it really shows in the quality of the cooking. Everything I tried was delicious, and breakfast was probably the best I’ve had all year fresh, satisfying, and a wonderful way to start the day. I’ve stayed in 25 hotels this year, and the Knowes Hotel stands out above them all. From the we

“Lovely to be back for a return visit.”
+Excellent breakfast choice and great quality. Great view from my room. Evening meal good, but a bit too much for my rather poor appetite.
