Rockbeare Manor in East Devon

What a stunning location. Top class decor and rooms. A perfect location for a daughter's wedding. As a side comment, in case this is read by the venue management, please take a look at the gust WiFi as the certificate is invalid so preventing connection at a location where WiFi is needed.

Rockbeare Manor was the absolute dream wedding venue, we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to celebrate our day. Everything was set up beautifully, and the team were so helpful and friendly from the moment we arrived. A special shoutout to Will, who was brilliant on the day. He made everything run so smoothly. I honestly didn’t have to worry about a thing, which says a lot, because I’m a total freak! They also did an amazing job setting out all of our décor, it looked exactly how I’d pictured it and knowing I didn’t have to stress about it was such a relief. The food was incredible. It was served hot, on time, and absolutely delicious. The waiters were so friendly and accommodating. So many of our guests have told us how much they loved it, and about 15 people have said the evening food was the best burger they’ve ever had. The next morning, breakfast was a lovely touch. Again, delicious, and they’d even decorated the breakfast room with bits of our wedding décor, which made it feel like the celebration was continuing. We never felt rushed out the next day either, which was really appreciated. I’d also highly recommend staying in the cottage the night before. It was such a lovely way to spend quality time with my bridesmaids, and the team were so helpful on the morning of the wedding, helping us move everything over to the getting ready room at the manor with no fuss. If you're looking for a stunning venue with a truly fantastic team, I can’t recommend Rockbeare Manor enough. It really was the most perfect day!

Went to a lovely wedding here. Fantastic location. Staff were friendly and attentive. Food was fab.

My first time photographing a wedding at Rockbeare Manor and really enjoyed the whole experience. The venue itself is a beautiful old building surrounded by grass and woodland. The staff were very friendly and helpful The food was great Can't wait to go back again.

I attended my friend's wedding here and it was brilliant.

On April 26, 2025, my husband Sam and I celebrated our wedding at Rockbeare Manor, and it was truly a day beyond our dreams. From the moment we arrived, the team made us feel like royalty. A special mention goes to Will, whose constant attention and care ensured that Sam and I were always comfortable and well-cared for. His presence was a calming and reassuring constant throughout the day. The entire team at Rockbeare Manor went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable. Their professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of our celebration. If you're considering a wedding venue, we wholeheartedly recommend Rockbeare Manor. It's a stunning location with a team that is dedicated to making your day as special as possible.

What a really special day Rockbeare made our daughter’s wedding at the start of April. Everything was perfectly organised and the wonderful venue capped it off. In particular I’d like to thank you for the way in which it was managed for us. You must do hundreds of weddings a year and yet you made it feel so very personal to us all, and operated with amazing calm and assurance - much appreciated on such an important day. I’d also like to point out how excellent all the young staff were. The young women who were setting up as I arrived, and then serving us at the top table, were delightful; as were all the servers with drinks etc. Without exception polite and smiling throughout what was a very long day for them. I can’t recommend this venue enough and would encourage anyone looking to do a wedding in the Exeter area to consider it. Thank you!

A stunning location with amazing photo opportunities outside in the grounds, inside the rooms are quite cosey (smaller than i expected for a house of such grand stature). The decor is showing signs of aging and could definitely do with a repaint. But we were there for a wedding not to be drawn to the decor issues. The bride and groom were radiant, constantly smiling and clearly had the day that they had planned. The bar was snug and for most of the time only had 1 server which wasn't the best, but on the flip side the prices were very reasonable in my opinion. Staff that i encountered were super friendly and all dressed very well. The property and grounds were very clean and presented well.

Our daughter Abbey married her lovely Matt on Saturday 12/04/25 at the stunning Rockbeare Manor. From the first visit when we were shown around by the lovely Andrea we all knew this was the place that Abbey & Matt would hold their wedding. Throughout the planning process nothing was too much trouble, any question however big, small or silly was answered. Communication with the staff at Rockbeare has been second to none. The Manor provides wonderful photo opportunities and is just beautiful inside and out. The amazing Leah was our wedding coordinator and what a job she did she went above and beyond to give Abbey & Matt their dream wedding. Leah led a team of young people who are a credit to Rockbeare Manor all so polite and professional. The food was truly delicious and our vegan guest said it was the best vegan wedding food she had ever had. We just want to thank everyone involved in Abbey & Matt’s wedding for your fantastic work, but the biggest thanks goes to Leah you are truly wonderful at your job! Regards to you all, Graham & Nicki Davey

The most amazing experience from start to finish at Rockbeare Manor! Leah was the most fabulous events manager! Couldn’t recommend enough - the most beautiful wedding I could have ever asked for 😍

Really nice wedding venue, great staff, not overly priced on drinks

Absolutely flawless – the perfect wedding venue! We had our wedding at Rockbeare Manor in March and we honestly could not have asked for a more perfect day. From the very first planning stages right through to the end of the evening, everything was handled with incredible care, professionalism, and warmth. A huge shout out to Davy, who was nothing short of amazing. He went above and beyond to make sure every detail was just right, and his calm, friendly presence made the whole process feel effortless. We genuinely felt so well looked after. The manor itself is absolutely stunning—elegant, beautifully kept, and full of character. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how immaculate the rooms were, and the high standard of accommodation was a real highlight. The food was first class too—delicious, beautifully presented, and enjoyed by everyone. We and our guests had an unforgettable day that we’ll cherish for years to come. Thank you so much to Davy and the entire team at Rockbeare Manor—you gave us memories we’ll never forget! Highly, highly recommend.

We very recently got married at Rockbeare Manor & we just couldn't fault the team. Aimeé gave us both a very warm welcome when we first viewed the venue back in August last year, made us feel special & like we were the first couple ever to set foot in the venue. We knew straight away that this is where we would like to get married. We had liaised with various members of the team via phone/email before being introduced to Will, our events manager. Same as Aimeé, Will was extremely friendly, put us at ease and made us feel very welcome and special. The layout of the day was done by Will while we were on site in December, we discussed how we would like things and Will listened to every little detail and when the BIG day finally arrived, we were so happy with how Will and the team had put everything together - It was so nice to see our ideas come together ☺️ Will was honestly brilliant, he was so supportive and calming, dealt with the curve balls we threw his way in a very calm manor which instilled us with more confidence. I cannot thank Aimeé, Will and the team enough for what they had done for us - 10/10 would recommend. Andrea was very quick getting the brochure out to us after requesting one, the Chef and team prepared a beautiful tasting meal for all and the events team on the day were just perfect. Thank you so much to you all for everything and giving us the best day/wedding 🧡

Lucky enough to attend a wedding here, the venue was amazing, staff exceptional, food delicious , had a wonderful day, highly recommended.

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing weddings at Rockbeare Manor since 2018, and it has always been a fantastic experience. The venue’s grounds offer breathtaking backdrops for photos, while the ceremony room is bathed in beautiful natural light. The bridal suite is an absolute standout—by far the largest and most luxurious I’ve seen! And let’s not forget the delicious food and the incredibly professional event team. Rockbeare Manor truly has it all, and I look forward to capturing many more unforgettable moments at this wonderful venue. - Martin Dabek Photography

Choosing a wedding venue is one of the most important decisions you make about your wedding day, we visited Rockbeare Manor and instantly fell in love. Beautiful ambiance, incredible grounds and an atmosphere that is indescribable. An absolute dream. Throughout our visits to Rockbeare we have been lucky enough to meet almost everyone that work within the Manor, all are so friendly, professional and personable. Our wedding planner Steph is incredible, so knowledgeable so kind and her organisational skills took any stress we may have about our day away. We had the most incredible wedding day, everything was perfect and we owe so much to all at Rockbeare Manor for all the effort that was put into our day. The food was delicious, the service impeccable and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. Waking up at Rockbeare Manor and sharing a beautiful breakfast with our family and friends completed our wedding experience perfectly and to see Rockbeare Manor in our photos is an absolute dream. We can’t thank Rockbeare Manor and its team enough. Mr and Mrs Hawkins

Rockbeare Manor is truly a standout wedding venue. From the moment you step onto the property, you’re surrounded by beauty and charm. The getting ready space is an absolute dream, offering plenty of natural light and a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere for those special moments before the ceremony. The manor house itself is stunning, with its historic architecture and luxurious feel. The grounds are equally impressive, providing a variety of picturesque spots for photographs, and if you’re lucky enough to catch a sunset, it’s nothing short of spectacular. The staff at Rockbeare Manor are exceptional – always friendly, professional, and dedicated to ensuring your day runs flawlessly. The food is delicious, and every aspect of the day is carefully thought out, so everything runs like clockwork. If you’re looking for a venue that combines elegance, beautiful surroundings, and a seamless experience, Rockbeare Manor is an outstanding choice for your wedding day.

I’m delighted to say that I’ll be photographing weddings at the beautiful Rockbeare Manor in 2025 and 2026. This venue has long been on my list of dream locations to work at, and it’s easy to see why. With its elegant interiors, beautifully landscaped grounds, and unique features, it promises to provide a magical setting for any wedding. Having read so many glowing reviews about the attentive staff and the impeccable service they offer, I’m confident that my couples have chosen the perfect place for their big day. I’m counting down the days until I can capture their love stories at Rockbeare Manor and create lasting memories in such an extraordinary setting. Best regards, James Clarke (Just James Wedding Photography).

Rockbeare Manor was an absolute dream come true for our wedding day. The grounds, ceremony room, wedding breakfast room, and bedrooms are absolutely stunning especially in the winter time when the fires are on and Christmas decorations are out. I stayed in the Dairy the night before which was a real treat, and the studio is just perfect to get ready in in the morning before you head over to Rockbeare. Steph was our coordinator and was flawless, she was friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and, most of all, nothing was too much trouble - thank you so much Steph for making our day an absolute success. For those who are wondering about what kind of food to go for, don't worry because it will ALL be fantastic; we had the Regency menu which was stunning and the hog roast in the evening. So many people complimented the food - especially the canapes. I would definitely use suppliers that work with Rockbeare often, they flawlessly fitted in where they needed to and made the day seamless; Evolve Photography, Tristan Adams Videography, Unique Designs by Tina decorations, Pumpkin and Pye floristry, Bespoke Disco, Changing Faces make-up & hair and Mandy's Classic Cakes were all fabulous and have worked together before so know exactly what they are doing. Finally, if you decide to stay the night with your guests (DO IT!) the breakfast in the morning was simply beautiful and again got so many compliments. Anyway, Rockbeare Manor thank you for everything.

If you are looking for an incredible venue to get married in, rockbeare manor is your place. We were blown away from start to finish and our wedding was the most perfect day. Starting with the planning, nothing was too much to ask. All questions big or small were answered straight away. The amount of support and advice we received throughout the planning process put us at complete ease and made us feel completely on top of everything. Always given simple steps on things that needed to be done and guidance throughout the whole planning process. The team are absolutely incredible. A special mention to Steph who was our wedding coordinator. She went above and beyond on our wedding day and did not stop all day! Nothing was to much to ask of her. We had so many guest commenting on how helpful she was. Onto the food. Ben and his team are the most incredible chefs. The food was the best we have ever had! All our guests commented on how amazing the food was, and again saying it’s one of the best meals they have ever had. My mother in law has many dietary requirements and has never been able to have a three course meal out before, Steph & Ben adapted the whole menu for her so she was able to eat the exact same as all our other guests which was amazing for her! I could go on and on about how amazing Rockbeare manor is, the team, the dairy the night before, the snooker room for the men, the rooms, the staff and service, the breakfast the day after the wedding. Everything was perfect from start to finish! We will be forever grateful to everyone at Rockbeare manor for making our dream wedding become reality.

An amazing wedding for Sam and Kate hosted at Rockbeare Manor. What an amazing venue. Excellent food and staff, nothing too much trouble! Such a brilliant day!

Just incredible- our son married his beautiful bride yesterday at Rockbeare = there are not enough words to describe the last couple of days = Davey was their wedding coordinator and he was fantastic = always calm and reassuring leading a crew of staff who all worked so hard = from helping with a set of cross cutters and a fork when a security tag was noticed on the back of my husbands jacker to having a draw of long pins for button holes = nothing was to much trouble. There young waiting staff we all so efficient and helpful...they are a credit to you. The cleaning staff who were on site from very early the next morning and did a super job of cleaning up from a very large group on site until midnight. There is nothing we would change THANK YOU ROCKBEARE MANOR FOR MAKING THIS WEEKEND SO INCREDIBLE.

We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful and memorable setting for our special day! From our first visit to the venue, we were blown away by the venue’s stunning surroundings and elegant charm. We met Steph and she went above and beyond to ensure our viewing was perfect, she explained everything in fine detail so we knew the process from viewing to wedding day and her communication throughout our 2 years of planning kept us calm and organised. On our wedding day, Steph and the team exceeded our vision , from the immaculate décor to the seamless coordination of events. The staff were incredibly professional and attentive, making sure we were comfortable and stress-free throughout the day. They handled every detail with care, allowing us to simply enjoy our wedding without worrying about logistics. The food was exceptional, and the atmosphere was warm, inviting, and filled with joy. We couldn’t recommend this venue highly enough to anyone looking for the perfect place to enjoy their special day. It truly made our big day feel like a fairy tale, and we’ll cherish the memories forever. Thank you for making our wedding dreams come true! Sam & Tayler x

Lovely venue and very attentive staff during the day of the wedding. Wedding food also very good. However, hotel room was very disappointing. No tea/coffee making facility, no TV and the shower was a wet room, which was awful and dangerously slippery. Breakfast ordering was a farce. After waiting for 15 minutes, we had to seek out someone to take our order. The breakfast was not up to the standard of the wedding day food. The owner was not quite Basil Fawlty, but was unhelpful with a touch of arrogance. As a wedding venue, Rockbeare Manor is very good, but don't stay over!

Absolutely amazing place. Bed was extremely comfortable and big enough for 2 adults and 1 toddler between us. Both the bathroom and bedroom were spotless

Excellent wedding venue and out standing service highly recommended

Lovely place, for a wedding, just felt lacked colour at the entrance no flowers in no pots of summer plants

As a musician who plays at many functions, I can say this is a beautiful venue and the staff are very helpful. Delicious food and lots of parking space.

We recently got married at Rockbeare Manor and couldn’t be happier with how the day went. From our initial visit to breakfast the day after our wedding, all the staff were super professional and friendly. They do way more than ‘just a venue’ to help your day run smoothly and make sure that you are happy and have everything you need on the day. The food was amazing, rooms were gorgeous and they really helped create our vision including helping with table decor etc on the morning. They even used some of our flowers and decor from the wedding day to make our breakfast table super pretty the next day, which was a lovely surprise and super nice touch. If we were to do it all over again we would 100% choose Rockbeare Manor!

Such a beautiful day and beautiful venue can't find any fault everything was perfect from beginning to end staff were amazing thankyou for making my son and daughter-in-laws wedding so perfect

Attended my daughters wedding here on 05.09.24. Wow, what a fabulous experience - staff very attentive and professional. Venue beautiful, rooms luxurious. Weather was awful but that didn't matter. The staff accommodated my daughters wishes and made her day very special. Well done to you all. A very memorable and lovely experience.

we got Married at Rockbeare Manor in June and had the most amazingly beautiful , unforgettable day in every way. At our first meeting, Davey was welcoming, friendly, professional, and informative about all our options and the package offered - He took the time to explain everything in detail. Steph was our wedding planner, showed the utmost professionalism, always had a welcoming smile, took the time to get to know us as a couple & gave so much welcomed guidance throughout, up to and including on the day. - Steph you really were Amazing & made us feel so special ! and the team who were working alongside you on the day were equally as friendly, professional & welcoming, The rooms were clean and comfortable with the most amazing views of the grounds (wish we'd been able to stay longer) The food throughout the day was amazing! & Breakfast the next morning was superb! We had lots of guests comment on the venue, The quality of the food & the professionalism of every member of staff. Our day was Perfect , and more than we could've wished for & we can't wait to re-visit Rockbeare Manor in the future. L&J

My son & his partner got married at Rockbeare Manor on 31st August, it was a truly magical day. From 7am when we arrived at The Dairy for all the girls to have their hair & make up done, to 11am the following day, we could not fault any aspect of the event. Steph was the event manager for the day & nothing was too much trouble for her, she was so hard working & nothing was too much trouble for her.👏👏 I'd also like to thank all of the staff on duty during the event, you were all wonderful, but special mention for the barman in the evening (sorry forgot your name), what a lovely hard working guy & really personable. Anyone who is thinking of booking Rockbeare for you're wedding, don't hesitate, get it booked & I guarantee you won't regret it. Thanks again to everyone at Rockbeare.

We got married on 28th August and want to say Thank you so much for a brilliant day. To all the staff that worked you were amazing. We had Leah for the day and she was phenomenal, so helpful and the attention to detail was on point. She was brilliant with the kids. We had the ice cream truck and that went down brilliantly everyone was asking were it came from people want more 😂. The food was delicious again so many people complementing on it. Everything was so organised. We are both truly grateful for you all on making our day amazing. We hope you all had a lovely day celebrating with us. Once again thank you so much. Love to you all. Leanne & Nathan x

Beautiful place attended a wedding

I recently attended a wedding at Rockbeare as Maid of Honour. What a stunning location! Can honestly say I was wowed by how smoothly the staff ran the day. Everybody I spoke to was kind, friendly and helpful - we didn’t have to ask for anything because it was already taken care of! Highly recommend.

We had our wedding at Rockbeare last Sunday 18th August! Well what can I say… the whole day was perfect! This is the only wedding venue we visited and we didn’t need to look any further as we feel in love straight away! Melissa looked after us on the day and she was fantastic! Nothing was too much trouble! Everyone loved the venue, food and how organised everything was! We stayed at the Dairy the night before with mother of the bride and bridesmaids which made the night before so exciting! The 13 bedrooms are stunning!! The guests loved them! All the staff at Rockbeare worked so hard in making sure we had the perfect day! Thanks so much for making our day a fairy tale! Laura & Scott

We had our fantastic wedding here on 5th August. The day was perfect and everything went so smoothly. Our event manager, Leah, was wonderful from the start. From the planning meeting to keeping us organised on the day, she was there every step of the way. The staff were so friendly and attentive and food was amazing. We were so well looked after. We truly could not have wished for a better day. If you're looking for a wedding venue in Devon, look no further!

Fantastic Wedding Venue, amazing staff and food , beautiful grounds idyllic setting.

Honoured to have come here last weekend to celebrate our good friends wedding. What can I say .... apart from truly magical, the Manor, the grounds & all the amazing attentive staff. The freedom to roam & chill in different parts of the manor and gardens made what was a lovely day for the newly weds. The food was amazing, 3 courses of delicious, hot, well presented food and each table being served together by well-mannered staff, nothing was too much for them. We were even allowed to stay in our Motorhome in the carpark free of charge which saved us on hotel & taxi cost. Certainly worth looking at for anyone planning a wedding ....... highly recommended.

Myself and my husband got married on 20th June 2024 at this gorgeous venue!! Nothing was too much trouble from the minute we booked our wedding nearly 2 years before. Our day went so smoothly all thanks to the incredible staff especially Steph who went above and beyond for us. So a massive thank you🤍

What can we say! My daughter married her soul mate at Rockbeare Manor 2 weeks ago. We were blown away. The staff were exceptional and Steph attended to every detail with professionalism, a smile and willingness that would be hard to beat. What a great team supporting Steph - you were all amazing. The day was perfect and Lia and Jon were blessed with perfect weather - the sun certainly shone on every aspect to make their day special. The venue is fantastic and the rooms were mind blowing. Thank you Steph and your wonderful team for everything. Sharon and Chris

Rockbeare Manor was the first place we viewed for our wedding venue, we were blown away we loved the idea it was exclusive to us and that the Manor would be full to the rafters with our loved ones! We had a spectacular day, Davy looked after us and did not disappoint, nothing was to much trouble! We used the dairy to get ready which I would recommend it was just beautiful! We wish we could do it all again the food was delicious the drinks were flowing and it was simply the most amazing day at the most amazing venue! Thank you Rockbeare you were fantastic! If you’re looking for a venue that makes you feel special this is the place! Sophia & Tim 18.5.24

We came here for our friends wedding. And WOW what a beautiful location. The staff were all very helpful and kind. I cannot give the location enough praise, might be one of the prettiest views I've seen in England in along long time. My friend said they were extremely happy with their entire experience with them and that they brought them a sense of calm and support from the very first conversation. It is no surprise that they've won best wedding venue in the southwest. Only thing to keep in mind is that it is a bit remote, and there is limited phone reception. You might want to arrange transportation for your guests or remind them to prebook taxis.

Brilliant location. Staff are super friendly and helpful

Attended a wedding on a Friday there. Nice location, views great. Room looked nice, comfy bed. No tea and coffee facilities that I had expected. Disappointing. It was a long way to Spill a drink from downstairs, through doors and up 5 flights of stairs. Less risk (and mess) having drinks in rooms. No tv in rooms, ok for us but a child may have been comforted in room by its presence during or after a wedding or for the baby sitter. The new wedding planner was good and helped when needed. Needed to get into our room earlier than allowed, after the meal 6pm ish. Expensive for restricted use. :(

We would highly recommend Rockbeare Manor to couples looking for a wedding venue. Leah was our event manager and we can not thank her enough. She was so quick to respond to our emails throughout the whole planning process which was so reassuring! We had lots of guests with dietary requirements which rockbeare managed amazingly! Although rockbeare do lots of weddings per year, they still made us feel special with brilliant attention to detail! The bedrooms are so nice for guests to stay in and the sunset we had on the day was the cherry on top of the cake. Thank you so much Leah and team for all of your hard work, we are so so glad we picked rockbeare!

Stunning venue and welcoming and attentive staff.

My husband and I had our incredible wedding on Tuesday 21st May 2024 at Rockbeare Manor and we were over the moon with how the day went and how amazing every single member of staff at the manor are. From the moment we had our first appointment to view the manor, to the moment when we booked our day and right up until the actual day, we felt extremely well looked after and could not have been put at any more ease than we were by the Rockbeare Manor team. The staff are all superb and we felt very special on the day. The manor itself is absolutely stunning, inside and out. We are not local to Devon as we travelled from Kent, and a few people questioned, "why Devon?" but as soon as they saw the venue, they all understood why! Our wedding party were blown away with how beautiful the venue is, how tasty and the food and drinks were and the fantastic service we received. Leah Murphy was our event manager and went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly and ran through every detail with us so we felt comfortable and at ease, which with me being a control freak and an event planner myself, I greatly appreciated! No question or ask was too much for Leah, and we greatly appreciated how attentive Leah was in the run up and on the day. Our day was more than we could have ever wished for. It still fees like the most amazing dream, and we cannot wait to re-visit the manor in the near future. All the best to everyone to Rockbeare Manor - you are all smashing it!! Mr & Mrs Sweet x

Invited to a wedding, can't fault the place, the service and the price,really good day 👍🫡

Like most couples we looked at a number of venues for our wedding but Rockbeare Manor had our hearts from the moment we walked through the door. The large and spacious Manor House is beautifully decorated and really is a space you can do as much or as little with as you want. From first show around to the big day the staff were kind, friendly and attentive. We truly felt we could relax with our big day in the hand of such experts who guided us through the whole process. I stayed in The Dairy the night before our wedding with my mum and our sisters. It was the perfect night to spend some time with my close family before the big day. We opted for the sharing platter wedding breakfast and the food was incredible. So many guests commented on how good all of the food is. I could go on about how perfect Rockbeare Manor was on our big day but simply put it is a stunning wedding venue managed by an incredible team.

Lovely place staff Very attentive

As a photographer, it's always a pleasure to capture beautiful weddings at Rockbeare. The staff are lovely and the weddings always go so smoothly!

Such a beautiful venue hence why my daughter chose it for her wedding venue

Our entire experience of booking, planning and having our wedding at Rockbeare Manor was simply perfect. From the initial viewing to the day itself, the communication from the staff was excellent. Staff go above and beyond to cater for everyone, always listening to the bride and grooms wishes. No request was too big and we will forever be grateful for such an amazing venue to celebrate our special day. The venue itself is beautiful and the food is fantastic, so many of our guests said it was the best food they’ve eaten at a wedding! Furthermore, there is plenty of space for indoor weddings, should it rain, and the bedrooms are all stunning. All guests who stayed were served an amazing breakfast the following day. Cannot recommend this venue enough! Thank you! Mr & Mrs Young

From the moment we viewed Rockbeare, we knew it was the venue for us. The fact that it is exclusive use of the grounds and house sold it to us as well as the beautiful manor itself! All the staff were incredible throughout our planning and were on hand for any question big or small. Our wedding was on 9th March 2024 and it really was the most special day. I stayed in The Dairy the night before with my bridesmaids which was comfortable and kick started the wedding weekend. The wedding itself was everything we dreamt of and more! Steph was our wedding coordinator for the day and she was just fabulous! She made us feel incredibly comfortable and catered to all our needs for the day. Leah was also amazing and made sure our music was played and helped me time my walk down the aisle to perfection. I could continue writing everything in detail, but in a few words, Rockbeare is honestly the best wedding venue. For the value for money, you will definitely not want another place to share your magical day. I wish I could do it all over again!

Our Daughter got married on Saturday at this stunning Venue. Rockbeare Manor delivered everything we hoped for and more....Leah is very friendly and helpful and Steph was a gem , nothing was to much for Steph and she makes you feel very welcome. All the staff are well trained and very friendly. The Manor rooms are superb with plenty of room. Anyone looking to use this Venue will not be disappointed. Once again many thanks to all who made the wedding day special.

Hi everyone, Shane & I just wanted to express a HUGE thanks to all of you who made our dine & stay experience so special last Friday evening, especially with the kind extras for our 4 year wedding anniversary! Rockbeare holds such a special place in our hearts so to have the opportunity to revisit and relive all those memories together as a married couple was wonderful. A couple little shout outs incoming… Steph was extremely welcoming when we first arrived and whilst being served dinner, she was such fun! We enjoyed sharing lots of laughs together! William & Fin were such gents throughout the evening. Taking care of the bar and providing quality banter and so helpful whilst serving the large group of guests, plus still giving so much time to individual couples too. Leah was wonderful. I had to rush off in the morning as I was performing at Westpoint for the wedding extravaganza fair and Leah made sure we did not leave hungry! She provided a cute breakfast takeaway with pastries, sandwiches and juices. It’s those little extra touches which make all the team here at Rockbeare stand out from all the rest! Andrea rounded off our stay on Saturday morning with her kind & gentle manner, thank you for being so helpful during check out. And the food, oh my, where do we even begin?! Ben & his team are INCREDIBLE. Such impressive flavours, beautiful presentation and creative dishes, clean plates at every course! To this day, we still have family & friends comment on how incredible our wedding day menu was, so to return and enjoy the dining experience again at Rockbeare was bloomin’ delightful! Staying in room 9 was gorgeous. I forgot how beautiful the room is. Perfectly presented, so clean & with all the little extras we could have possibly needed for a comfortable nights stay so thank you to the housekeeping team. I’ve been booked by several couples to perform at Rockbeare throughout 2024 & 2025 so will be in touch closer to these dates to chat through logistics. Every visit is such an honour! We’ll be sure to add this review to google / socials & you’re welcome to share on any of your platforms too. We had the best weekend. Thank you all SO much again.

This venue is just incredible, everything was perfect for our wedding in November! We booked the venue 2 years in advance, it was the most booked out venue we viewed and now I see why! Communication throughout those 2 years was amazing, they always responded very quickly and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. They were also very relaxed, which was perfect for us. We met Davy when viewing Rockbeare Manor and we felt at ease as soon as we met him, he did a fantastic job with the wedding planning meeting and checking all the details over carefully (we had a lot of dietary requirements). He has so much experience and it shows! Will was our co-ordinator for the wedding and he honestly could not have done more, he is such a lovely person who really cares about giving you the best day. All our guests have since said how amazing he was with any request they had. The food and dinner service were incredible (again we have had a lot of comments how seamlessly the food came out especially with all the dietary requirements and how delicious the food was). The breakfast was amazing, it’s a lovely set up for the morning after the wedding. We had two guests who had a vegan breakfast and couldn’t believe how much effort had been put into their food. The team set up our décor and did a much better job than I would have, it was perfect. Thank you to Anna who looked after us overnight and was very attentive and kind. The venue is incredible with a room for both the bride and groom to get ready in, which really appealed to us. The fireplaces were all lit which was very cosy. The accommodation (The Dairy and Manor) was beautiful, clean and well maintained. Even after the wedding the team have been amazing, our guests had left items behind and they did everything they could to make sure the items were returned to the guests. We know so much goes on behind the scenes and I haven’t mentioned/named everyone but thank you all so much for giving us the most perfect day, it honestly meant the world to us, we really couldn’t have asked for more. You are all amazing at what you do! If you are running the dine and stay overnight this winter, we will definitely book in!

We were lucky enough to have our wedding at Rockbeare manor February 2024. The team were incredible throughout with nothing too much effort. Steph particularly was amazing for our day, we were treated like royalty from start to finish. If you’re thinking of booking Rockbeare manor for your wedding. DO IT💗💍

Beautiful building in a fantastic setting

Hi Both, We just wanted to email to say a massive thank you. We are so overwhelmed with how perfect everything was. You were both incredible, so attentive and we felt so calm and relaxed all day. Every single guest complimented us on how amazing the venue was and how well run it was, so huge credit to you. The food, was FAB. It was so nice, again, all guests said that the beef was unbelievable, I think they even tried to get tips on how it was cooked!! There is absolutely nothing I would have changed, you did an absolutely phenomenal job and I will recommend rockbeare every day for the rest of my life! Some of our guests have already recommended to people because they were just blown away with how stunning and well thought out everything was on your end. Davy you were so attentive, always asking if we were ok or needed anything and that meant to much. Throughout this entire process, you have been incredible. So responsive with our questions, supportive with anything we wanted and thank you so much for everything along the way, it’s been flawless. William, thank you so much for helping us set up the day before and for the breakfast in the morning too! You were a smiley friendly face throughout the whole event! The pizza and cake to our room made our night! We genuinely thank you from the bottom of our hearts, if I could do it all again exactly how it was I would, there was nothing I would change, you smashed it out of the park and all our guests were absolutely singing your praises. We are so sad it’s all over, but if you host the dinner and stay next year like you did this year, best believe we will be there!!

Our daughter got married at Rockbeare Manor just before Christmas, what a wonderful day & evening we all had. The staff were professional , friendly & very attentive in the smooth running of the day. The food was delicious & of a high standard for so many. A big thank you to all.

Beautiful place. Perfect for our family wedding in 2025

beautiful venue in amazing surroundings i highly reccomend anyone wanting an amazing venue experience to use their services

We love creating wedding flowers at Rockbeare - it’s a beautiful venue and the team are always so helpful and professional - highly recommended to any couples thinking of getting married here (from the wild florist)

This has to be pretty much the best wedding venue of this type in the area. We see a lot of venues and Rockbeare is top of the list for sure. We are very lucky to be able to work at Rockbeare very often. www.perfectweddingdjs.co.uk

Great atmosphere and grounds. Expensive!

Lovely place , lovely food , great staff

Absolutely perfect! We had our wedding here the Saturday just gone; the 14th October and I can honestly say it was the most perfect day. Leah and her team went above and beyond to make our day run smoothly and make it so special. I felt so thankful to have Leah as our co-ordinator. She was exact with every detail, nailed the requests from us and made sure we were okay and looked after throughout the day. She really cares. Davey is also a gem and such a nice helpful guy. All the team were really relaxed and from booking the venue everything was ran with precision. The venue is absolutely stunning, beautiful inside and out so weather doesn’t matter! Thankyou for making our day so amazing! We hope to return soon.

Held my daughter's wedding here a week ago, absolutely perfect day made more so by this stunning location with very attentive and professional staff. We were looked after from the minute we booked this venue right up to leaving on Sunday morning. We really couldn't have asked for more. Thank you.

Loved the wedding we attended lovely place, down side the food was disappointing there was Devon beef for the main course and was very chewy lots of guests felt the same ,starters and dessert were nice

All the team at Rockbeare Manor made our dream wedding come true. Every single member of staff was so friendly, helpful and positive! Nothing was too much trouble. Everyone was so professional, and the day ran perfectly. We were able to completely relax and enjoy our day. A big thank you to Davy especially - From the moment we met him, we felt immediately at ease and we knew that everything was going to be perfect on the wedding day. Every single guest had an amazing time and we have had nothing but positive feedback and kind words from everyone. We are forever grateful to the whole team for all their hard work!

Rockbeare Manor and its staff were amazing! They made the whole process of organising a wedding extremely easy. No question or query was too big or a problem and they were always dealt with promptly. Thanks to Rockbeare, we had the best day ever and wish we could do it all over again. We want to say a special thanks to Jess who managed our wedding for us. She was excellent. It is clear that Jess is extremely knowledgeable in organising weddings and it is thanks to her that our day went so smoothly and was so successful. Thank you, Jess.

Rockbeare Manor was the perfect place to have our wedding on 1st July 2023. It is a beautiful and unique venue, with stunning rooms and grounds to explore, and very comfortable bedrooms. Thank you to Steph, Davy, Jessica and all of the staff at Rockbeare Manor for helping to make our wedding day so wonderful! We were also given great customer service in the preparations before the wedding and really enjoyed our planning meetings. We were given fantastic service throughout the whole of our wedding day, and thank you to Davy for making sure we always had everything we needed! All of the food was delicious and our guests praised it highly! We absolutely loved having our wedding at Rockbeare Manor and all of our guests had an amazing time too! We highly recommend Rockbeare Manor as a wedding venue!

Photographing this wedding was so good. We had the light, the guests and atmosphere to make this amazing day. I loved shooting this wedding and can’t wait to get more of their wedding photos to them!

We were lucky enough to hold our wedding at the stunning Rockbeare Manor, Devon on 16th July 2023, we had an absolutely magical day, thanks to Aimee Carveth and her amazing team. We could not fault anything at all...... food was amazing and hot, bedrooms were beautiful, the staff were polite, and super helpful, the day was perfect. We can't thank Aimee and her team enough for all their hard work and making our special day a memorable one. I would recommend Rockbeare without any hesitation. Thanks to you all Lesley and Mike Atkins

Beautiful place to have your wedding. Magical sunset

Rockbeare Manor is an original old and Beautiful Manor set in a huge estate surrounded by farms and countryside, with lovely gardens, and an amazing lake. Several rooms for functions including a main function room so ideal for weddings etc.

Excellent service very friendly

We got married in July 2023 here, and it was just so wonderful. They looked after us answering ALL of our many queries, were always so accommodating and making sure on the day we felt looked after. Such a beautiful setting and every guest was in awe of how lovely the venue was. Thank you so much, we would recommend this venue over and over again.

I had the pleasure of booking Rockbeare manor for my wedding. The venue itself is stunning, the hotel rooms are luxurious and I would recommend staying if you are having a wedding here. The staff were magnificent, nothing was too much trouble. Special mention to Will who was just brilliant throughout the whole day. Highly recommend!

Beautiful wedding venue, amazing food!

Rockbeare Manor is a stunning venue with beautiful, generously sized rooms and wonderful staff. I was here as a bridesmaid in a wedding. The Dairy worked well as a place for bridesmaids to rest the night before and get hair and makeup done the morning of. We were then able to head over to the main venue between 11.30-12.30 to enjoy the rest of the day. The area bridesmaids got ready in was great, a generous sized room with water and a light lunch served. There are large mirrors, areas for hanging bridesmaid dresses and the bride's dress and a makeup area. My only criticism of this room is there isn't a toilet to use so we had to go up and down the stairs in our dresses as wedding guests were arriving. Staff worked above and beyond to help a smooth day. The room for the ceremony was cosy but the grounds for photos and confetti were stunning and huge. They served ice cream between the ceremony and the main meal and games on the lawn were a good in-between activity. Staff were friendly and all meals were table service and the main manager kept the top table informed with timings and made sure they were ready for the next course. The bar opened in the evening and closed at 11.45pm as guests not staying were expected to leave at midnight. There was a bar tender on hand to serve residential guests until they went to bed allowing people to make the most of the day. I stayed in room 3 which was through an archway and up a few stairs with a toilet, bathroom and two rooms (one double and one twin). Lovely views and rooms, only small critiques are that there was no mirror in the room with the toilet and basin, and the twin room had no hooks for towels to dry. These minor details did not detract from the stunning venue and amazing day. The morning after saw all of us in the ceremony room around a large table for breakfast which was a lovely way to end the wedding. Special mention to Sian, one of the waitresses who helped find me non-alcoholic alternatives, and leapt into action when a smashed glass was reported on the dance floor - all staff were great and went above and beyond but she stood out and was the only name I caught.

Went here for a wedding. Beautiful surroundings, and the food was top notch. The only thing I would say is that the arrival was a bit disorganised as there was nobody to meet or greet, to tell you where to go or how to find the bar etc cetera. Needs someone front of house to usher in guests and direct them.

Shame the weather wasn’t on our side but the venue was spectacular!

As the father of the bride I am writing to thank you and your staff for your superb service on the 8th of July. I have always worked in customer facing services and have to compliment you on your attention to detail at every stage of our day which went without a hitch. I was so impressed by the table service, something many guests spoke to me about, which was so fluid and efficient. I also noticed how you placed the flowers throughout the weekend to best effect without any prompting. The food was excellent and the evening food just kept coming throughout the evening so that guests could enjoy hot pizza at a time to suit them. The accommodation was beautiful and spotlessly clean. Somehow you managed to give us excellent and attentive service whilst being so discreet it was almost as if things just happened by magic. On behalf of myself and my wife I would like to thank you so much for making our time with you so special. Thanks to Jess who superbly managed our day and ensured we had everything at the right time in the right place. Please pass our thanks on to all your staff who contributed to making our day such a success. Kind regards, Ben

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and the team for looking after us so well on our wedding day. You were all absolutely fantastic! We had the most perfect, brilliant day that we will never forget and you were all a huge part in that. Rockbeare will always be an incredibly special place to us. It is an absolutely superb wedding venue.

Beautiful setting, loverly wedding lots of parking.

Beautiful. Stunning location and building. Just the best for weddings. Highly recommended

I am emailing because I was blown away by all your employees hard work during the wedding. As a guest who has been in the hospitality industry when I was in my 20’s , I cannot not praise enough to your young staff, they were exceptional. Mature, confident , took charge of all aspects of the day. I love your venue, the food was utterly impeccable and faultless. Such a shame I am already happily married, but I would wholeheartedly recommend your prestigious establishment. Well done 👍 you have a perfect business

DON'T GO HERE if you are vegan or have guests with allergies as your requirements will be ignored and lives could be put at risk!!

I recently attended a wedding at Rockbeare Manor in Exeter and I have to say, it was an absolutely amazing experience! The venue itself is stunning, with beautiful grounds and a grand entrance that really sets the tone for the whole event. The reception was held in the main ballroom, which was spacious and elegantly decorated - the perfect setting for a wedding celebration! But what really stood out to me was the level of service provided by the staff. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel welcome and well taken care of. The staff were attentive and professional, always on hand to ensure that everything ran smoothly. We also had the pleasure of staying in one of the rooms at Rockbeare Manor, and I have to say, it was one of the most luxurious hotel rooms I have ever stayed in. The decor was beautiful and the bed was incredibly comfortable - we slept like babies! All in all, I would highly recommend Rockbeare Manor as a wedding venue. The combination of stunning surroundings, luxurious accommodation, and attentive staff make it the perfect place to celebrate your special day. Thank you to everyone at Rockbeare Manor for such a wonderful experience!

The grounds are absolutely stunning, I've been to a lot of weddings but this one takes first place for best location, couldn't be more picturesque.

Beautiful wedding venue! Fab staff, really professional and lovely. We were the band at a lovely couple’s wedding and we were treated so well too! Thank you all 🤩

Rockbeare was our fantastic wedding venue, Lauren looked after us and she was incredible. The staff were so kind and hard working, all the guests said this. It could not have been any more perfect. Thank you so much for making our day so special

I was lucky enough to get Married at Rockbeare in Apr 23! I could not recommend it enough, from Day 1 at the initial meetings to the actual day everything was handled in a professional manner. The day ran absolutely perfectly and I only have Rockbeare Manor and in particularly Jess who we can not thank enough!

We got married at Rockbeare in March and it was truly spectacular. The venue speaks for itself, it is truly stunning. But it would not be the venue it is without the staff - you make this THE place to get married. Throughout the planning process no question was too silly and your maticulous eye for detail during meetings ensured everything ran smoothly. Thankyou to Anna, Aimee and team who were there throughout planning and ran our day. But also thank you to the hospitality team - we had so many comments about how attentive and friendly everyone was. Oh to do it all again we would and i'm slightly jealous of all the upcoming couples planning their big day with you. They've struck gold, and you should all be so proud of what you do. Ps - loved finding the photo of you guys in our photobooth guest book! Keep well and good luck for the future x

Beautiful venue. Beautiful grounds. The service, food and the day fantastic. We attended for a wedding. I would highly recommend

A beautiful venue. Had an amazing day at my son and daughter-in-law's wedding. Couldn't fault it. Thank you.
