The team at Knowle Manor were all fantastic on the day and the venue is absolutely stunning, nestled in the valley just outside of Dunster on Exmoor, it really is a dream location for your wedding! We have photographed at many venues across the south of the UK and Knowle Manor remains one of our favourites!

Just celebrated a friends 60th birthday with a weekend at Knowle Manor. The weekend exceeded our expectations. Ruth and her team were wonderful from our initial enquiry to the actual event. The level of customer service went above and beyond. There was 36 of us and it was a perfect number. We self catered on the first evening using the commercial kitchen and had a hog roast recommended by Ruth on the second night. We danced until midnight on the lawn then moved inside to the spacious bar area. Great value for money for a big group. Suited us perfectly. Couldnt recommend more highly

Lovely residence. Facilities were great, including a lovely swimming pool. On the doorstep of the lovely trails and footpaths around Exmoor. Only a 4/5 because the 1st floor bedroom windows are not at all baby safe - they open very wide with no tether with a large and low window sill, making the window pretty hazardous for small children. The bedroom was very warm even in April.

Absolutely amazing grounds, and amazing facilities, kitchen the especially. Along with the pool, games room, and 2 living rooms, and the large dining area.
Walks in the area are fantastic, and easy to get to, such as the nice and short 2 mile walk to Dunster, starting at the back of the house.
However, room 20 (my room number), the toilet didn't work, until you open it all up and push down the mechanism, which is slightly disgusting. But all in all, one of the best experiences I've had, definitely would go again!
