The Knowle Country House

About The Knowle Country House

A fine Victorian Gothic Mansion set in 14 acres of orchards and old Victorian gardens; built in 1840 by the rector of Higham and now a spectacularly romantic wedding venue and Country House restaurant

The Knowle Country House Description

The beautiful grounds and wild Orchards, with its small lake, have been turned into a wild life sanctuary for Birds and small Animals to help create a unique and tranquil atmosphere.

The intimate surroundings and quiet luxury are complemented by the friendly and relaxed atmosphere, where emphasis is placed on English fayre, fresh produce and a regularly changing menu for private parties and Wedding Receptions, or that romantic dinner for two.

The Knowle is a very special place. Enjoy a tour around our historical interesting Grounds and Gardens with its strong Charles Dickens connections.

Well, what can I say... Such an amazing venue and on my doorstep.



This was my first time at Knowle Country House as a Wedding supplier and I cannot rate them high enough. The venue looks stunning and the staff are so accommodating from site visits and on the day of Bradley & Sarah Felston's Wedding.



I supplied an all day service providing the Ceremony music outside in the beautiful garden, followed by the drinks reception music and then the wedding breakfast music.



The staff are a pleasure to work with and you are well looked after with food and drinks - the food was amazing, so compliments to the chef.



I then provided the evening entertainment for the lovely couple and such an amazing time was had by all with a rapturous applause at the end.



I look forward to working at the Knowle Country House again...



Thank you

We had our wedding here two weeks ago and what absolutely stunning venue it is . I knew it was the one the first time I saw it and we were not disappointed on the day. It was everything we could of hoped for and more. We had such an amazing day from start to finish we did not want it to end. If I could do it all again I would. We would like to say a massive Thank you to Kelly and the rest of The Knowle staff they made our day perfect. The staff were polite friendly and attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Big Thank you to Damian The Knowles very own Dj the music choices were brilliant we could not stop dancing and again nothing was too much trouble. The food was absolutely delicious and we have had lots of complements on both the food and the beautiful venue and few of our guest have said it’s one of the best weddings they have been to. Thank you so much xxx

User

We got married here on the 14.10.17, Literally couldn't thank Kelly & The staff enough for making our day so magically perfect!! The day wouldn't have run as smooth as it did without you all.. Kelly thank you for everything you did around the meetings, conversations & the set up of the day it was a million times better than I could have imagined and we really appreciate it!! �� we fell in love with the venue when we first visited and had a great chat with the owner Micheal, we have had a few meals here before but we received lots of compliments on how lovely the food tasted and how beautiful the venue was by all our guests that attended. The grounds are so gorgeous and & luckily we were graced with beautiful weather & were able to get married outside it definitely was the best day ever. Xx

User

We got married here 29.12.2017. The decor was perfect, Kelly was brilliant and the Coach House is lovely and the perfect place to get ready. Outstanding food, lovely layout for a wedding and the new decor is great. It was the best, most beautiful day, thanks so much. Exactly what I wanted.

We Returned back to the Knowle for a fantastic meal 13 yrs to the day after getting married there.

The memory’s of our great day was still there.

Thanks to all the staff who made us so welcome on our visit back.

The food was fantastic and plentiful.

User

The best wedding venue ever makes you feel like you are dreaming absolutely amazing food Michael offered us so much and Kelly done absolutely everything to make my fairy tail come true .i fall in love with this house obviously as this was our first and only venue we ever looked so we had to book it ! Love everything about it ! Could do it again

Thank you so so much giving me the day I will remember for rest of my life �

User

The Knowle was recommended as a wedding venue and after meeting Michael the owner and looking around, we looked at a couple of other local places before coming back and booking. From the initial wedding meeting to the big day everything ran smoothly, Kelly the planner was a pleasure to deal with, the staff on the day looked after us perfectly and the venue speaks volumes for itself! We cannot thank everyone at the Knowle enough or recommend them highly enough. The food was definitely a cut above and made a big impression on our guests. Our wedding was fantastic and in no small part to the team at the Knowle. Mr & Mrs Kidner.

User

One of my favourite places! Got married here in 2017 - had the best day! Lovely & very friendly staff.

User

I would recommend The Knowle Country House for all your needs. They made the run up to the wedding so easy and stress free, there was no pressure and all the staff there are very sweet and caring.

The venue itself is beautiful and so well maintained, the food was amazing and service was smooth.

The coach house is also stunning and made my day even more special being able to stay the night before and after!



Thank you, Demi and Craig xx

Had our wedding here this Sunday just gone and it was the most magical, amazing day of our lives! Kelly was incredible to deal with during the build up and planning of our big day. On the day the staff we're excellent, attentive, polite and went above and beyond to make our day absolutely perfect. The food was incredible, the setting - stunning.. our guests couldn't praise you all enough! Thank you so much for making this a memorable, incredible day. Mr and Mrs Hathorn

User

Had my wedding here on the 17/3/18. Right from booking it I was so excited. Kelly was amazing and made the whole process so simple and stress free. The venue is amazing and the staff are so good you don’t even see anything going on behind the scenes. I wouldn’t change anything at all about my day and the snow made it magical. Everyone loved it and I am so happy I picked this venue. I just wish I could do it all over again! Amazing - thank you Kelly and all the staff at the Knowle... 5 star service and food and a desert trolley to die for !!!!! �

User

Had an amazing time for my daughter Amelia's 18th Birthday Celebrations! The staff couldn't do enough for us all & we felt thoroughly spoilt by them! I've been to The Knowle for so many different occasions over the years and they never fail to impress! Everything was just so lovely with First Class Service & venue! Thank you so much for everything you did to make our Celebration as enjoyable & memorable as it was xx

Had an amazing meal here for my dad’s 70th birthday , food was gorgeous , setting amazing and lovely attentive staff , ... Thank you for a lovely evening

User

Fabulous wedding, great food, good portions for wedding food. Loved the puddings, yes I had two !

User

Fabulous venue. We are regular wedding photographers at The Knowle. Every wedding has run smoothly and the staff are excellent and efficient. The grounds are very well kept and there’s no shortage of backdrops for photos �

User

By far the best place to get married! And not just for the amazing photos you can get from the beautiful gardens and dramatic venue but because the staff are just absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning you feel like all they care about is giving you the best day. The day ran absolutely perfect, we didn't have to think twice about anything in fact we didn't have to think at all they ran the entire day like clockwork, looked after us throughout our time there and everyone absolutely loved the food, our guests still keep telling us how great the food was :) I know everyone says their wedding day was perfect but ours truly was in every sense of the word and it was all made possible because of Michael, Kelly and all the wonderful staff at the Knowle! You all are truly amazing, we cannot express how grateful we are for all that you did on our day, Thank you so so much!

User

Beautiful Venue, with stunning picturesque grounds. Amazing and well presented food. Staff work hard to ensure everyone is looked after and nothing is too much trouble. I would 100% recommend Knowle House to any couple looking for that special wedding venue.

User

We had a great day, start to finish. The grounds are beautiful, clean and well kept, and the staff were friendly and attentive.

The wedding ceremony was also outside and it was perfect.

Food and drink wise, the meal was good, all the good was nice, although I wouldn't say it wow'd anyone and I was a bit disappointed by the lack of selection on draft.

All in all, I would definitely recommend this place to others.
