About Knotwood Forest

The year 2017 and onwards kept us busy as more couples wished to say their vows in the forest.

We remain delighted and honoured to share our lovely setting! Over the years we have built a forest cottage, and cleared trees for a large, green space we call "The Terrace". Using our own trees we put up a dreamy long swing, and in 2025 we built an under-cover facility, also using wood from the farm. We call this venue "The Knot-Room".

Knottwood Forest is such a beautiful setting—absolutely breathtaking views everywhere you look! What made the experience even more special was Ruth, the owner. She is truly amazing and incredibly knowledgeable. She gave us great advice on which plants would thrive best in different areas, and you can tell she has a real passion for what she does. Her attention to detail and warm personality made the visit unforgettable. Highly recommend if you’re looking for inspiration, peace, and natural beauty all in one place for your wedding or any occasion!

A beautiful venue ruined by unprofessionalism and a poor attitude. We waited about a year to do this viewing, only to be met with judgmental, unnecessary comments. When I asked a question about the uneven ground to ensure the safety of our elderly guests, I was interrupted and told "no red carpet would be rolled out for me." I won't even get into the comment made about my shoes, especially given that I was wearing traditional attire. Beyond the terrible service, the value simply isn't there. The "setup" was poorly put together, and there are far too many extra costs not included in the baseline package. To top it off, management (Ruth) completely dismissed my subsequent feedback with a flat "message noted" and zero apology or accountability. It is a stunning location, but absolutely not worth the price tag or the disrespectful, unprofessional treatment. We are happy to take our business elsewhere to a venue that actually values its clients and understands how to treat people for events that should be cherished.

Beautiful wedding ceremony at the Knotwood Forest!! Was a privilege being apart of the friend wedding. Parking was pretty simple and the ceremony was beautiful. Seating was on wooden planks and the walkway was well maintained. Truly a blessed experience

A true hidden gem of a place, if you looking for a tranquil surrounding this is the place, will definitely be back for more as I am certain I haven't even seen all of it since I was so taken aback by what I witnessed in the time I was there. I was fortunate to have been able to capture an indian wedding shoot at this location and what a beautiful setting the forrest made. Thank you for making me love my country even more ✊🏻
