Knoll House Hotel

Knoll House Hotel - Dog Friendly Hotel in Studland, Dorset

​Established in 1931, Knoll House is a traditional Dorset hotel with sea views that stretch out over Studland Beach and on to the Isle of Wight.

You’ll find us at Studland Bay on the Isle of Purbeck, between Poole and Old Harry Rocks. Purbeck is a quiet landscape of coast, cliffs, heath and woodland, and a haven for wildlife. It’s perfect for cycling and exploring, and a wonderful place for dog walking all year round. We’re a dog-friendly hotel, so you’re welcome to bring your canine companion with you.

While there’s plenty to see and do around the local area, we also have fantastic facilities on-site, so you can choose to relax in the way that suits you. Our golf course, tennis courts and indoor and outdoor swimming pools are there for you to use at your leisure. We've also got a steam room and sauna for ultimate relaxation.

As a family-friendly hotel, we also have things to keep the little ones entertained, including an adventure playground (re-opening April 2022), an indoor games room and cinema room where we will show films on request.

Our main restaurant specialises in Anglo-French cuisine, and is open for breakfast and dinner. At the heart of the hotel is a focus on traditional hospitality for guests of all ages, with comfortable rooms, wonderful facilities and fine food freshly prepared. We look forward to welcoming you to Knoll House, and the beauty of the Studland Bay.

Dog Friendly
We know that pets are part of the family, that’s why we welcome up to two dogs per booking. With acres of unspoilt countryside criss-crossed with walking tracks and trails, Studland Bay is ideal for a dog-friendly holiday. We charge £15 per dog per night, and ask that you bring your own pet bedding. With the exception of the restaurant, children’s areas and leisure facilities, you can freely walk your dog around the hotel grounds and gardens. They're more than welcome to curl up in front of the roaring open fire and have a snooze.
