Questions about the venue
Where a number is our estimate, we say so.
Can we legally marry at the venue rather than at a separate ceremony site?
Yes. The Knowes Hotel & Restaurant is set up for legal ceremonies on site, and the indoor reception space means the celebration can continue in the same place.
How many guests can you seat for the wedding meal?
Up to 120 guests can be seated for dining in the meeting and banquet space. There is also a minimum of 50 guests for wedding bookings.
How does pricing work?
Weddings are priced on a package basis in GBP. Full details are set out in the wedding brochure at https://knoweshotelandrestaurant.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/new-brochure-23.pdf.
Is accommodation available for our guests?
Yes, there are 17 rooms, ranging from a standard single room for one guest through twin and double ensuite rooms to superior and deluxe king rooms, including options with a sea view or terrace. Most rooms sleep two.
