The Knoll Tower offers a unique and peaceful retreat, with guests praising its cleanliness, stunning location, and thoughtful touches like welcome hampers. The property's historical charm and beautiful parkland setting provide a tranquil escape, though the steep stairs and remote nature may not suit everyone.
Guests consistently commend the property's cleanliness, describing it as immaculate and well-maintained. The attention to cleanliness contributes significantly to the overall positive experience.
The location is highly praised for its tranquility, wildlife, and views, situated within the magnificent grounds of Weston Park. Some guests noted the remoteness and difficulty accessing nearby facilities, but the peaceful setting is generally seen as a positive aspect.
The property is described as comfortable, with a particularly cosy bed and warm atmosphere, even in winter. However, the steep and narrow stairs may pose a challenge for some, affecting the comfort score slightly.
Facilities are well-regarded, with guests appreciating the well-equipped property and quality furnishings. Some minor maintenance issues, such as tricky locks and the need for bathroom refurbishment, have been mentioned, leading to a slightly lower score.
Many guests express gratitude for the thoughtful welcome hampers and personal touches. While these are greatly appreciated, it is politely noted that such gifts, though common, are not guaranteed with every stay.

Fantastic accommodation in a beautiful setting. Organised catered food from restaurant onsite to be left for arrival and it exceeded our expectations. Wildlife was special, the stag in particular. Loved our stay and would fully recommend.
