Gold award from Muddy Stilettos two years in a row!

Muddy Stilettos - Devon - Awards 2024

Muddy Stilettos all started back in 2011 with an award-winning lifestyle site but now, if you want to know the best of everything near you, from boutique hotels to gastropubs, family days out to schools, best wedding venues (and everything else in between), it's the go-to place.

On a sunny Wednesday evening in June, Aimée and Andy our Directors went to beautiful South Devon and the lovely Shilstone House where they received the award for Best Event Venue in Devon. 

This is the second year in a row that we have been lucky enough to have been nominated for the award. Last year, we were awarded Best Wedding Venue in Devon - this year the name of the award slightly altered to Best Event Venue in Devon, and with the majority of votes (over 40%) we were ecstatic to win a Muddy again !!

There is a huge sense of pride that comes with being recognised for an award. In order to be successful in the weddings and events industry, it takes a great deal of hard work and dedication and so for all of our brides, grooms, clients, friends and suppliers to take the time to vote for us means so much.

Aimée and Andrew Carveth - Directors at Rockbeare Manor

Rockbeare Manor is now into its 8th year of running as an Events and Wedding Venue in Devon. In 2015, Andy and Aimée worked together, alongside a big team of builders and craftsmen to bring Rockbeare Manor back from being in a very poor state of repair. It had found itself on the Historic England At Risk Register and it was in much need of a new lease of life.

After an intensive 9 months, the wedding venue in Devon (which had up until then been a family home) was ready to open its doors to the public, as an exceptional location for exclusive use events in Exeter and since this time, it has gone from strength to strength. We are proud to have earnt a strong reputation for immaculate surroundings, excellent service, fresh local food made from scratch with quality ingredients,  and our professional thoughtful and hard working team are mentioned countless times in the kind reviews that our clients leave for us.
