Knowles Reviews

Martin
The house is massive, in a stunning spot, with lovely gardens and amazing views.
James
Knowles is a fantastic Victorian house, perfect for family and friends. The grounds are beautifuland the location couldn't be better. Highly recommend!
Mark
The house was spacious and had heaps of parking, plus lovely gardens that looked after themselves. Perfect spot with shops, pubs nearbyand fields with tennis just across the street. We loved it!
Alex
Spacious, perfect for big families!
Emma T.
We stayed at Knowles with a big family group over Christmas - five generations in total! The place was perfect for us all, especially the downstairs en-suite bedroom with its own sitting area, plus the upstairs rooms with en-suites. The owners who live nearby couldn't have been more helpful or friendly, which was lovely. We loved the charm of the house's original features, even if some aspects are a bit old-fashioned, it's still really well furnished and super comfy. The beds were fantastic - everyone slept like logs! The kitchens had everything we needed, plenty of pots, pansand utensils for a big Christmas feast for 11. There's loads of space inside and out, so we never felt cramped. The garden is gorgeous, parking was plentifuland the views are stunning. Honestly, we'd recommend it for families or groups of friends looking for a cosy, spacious getaway. We'll definitely be back!
