Myself, my wife and my brother had not reserved a table for lunch, this was not a problem and we had lovely table overlooking the sea. We opted for the Senior Citizens menu (didn’t know that this menu is available on Mondays and Tuesdays - we visited on Monday 2nd of June) Plenty of options to choose from. The food was 5 star, beautifully presented and this was the Senior Citizens menu!! Attentive, smiling staff nothing to much trouble. Certainly would recommend The Knowes.

Hotel phoned on morning of arrival and asked what type of bed we required (double or twin) we arrived in the afternoon and we were shown to our room and asked if we wanted to book for dinner in the evening as it was busy. Our room was new and had an added bonus of a balcony which was great as the weather was nice enough to sit out. The bed was really comfy, room has tea and coffee facilities and a fridge, the bathroom has toiletries provided and a large walk in shower. There is also a hairdryer in the bedroom. Breakfast at the hotel has a good selection of cereals fruit juices, bread and cooked items.
