Dog-Friendly Pub with Rooms

A country break is better when the dog can come too. At The Norman Knight, selected accommodation is dog-friendly, with the pub downstairs and the countryside close by.

Based in the village of Whichford near Shipston-on-Stour, we make a relaxed starting point for walks, quiet days out and weekends exploring the North Cotswolds together.

Walk, eat, sleep

Spend the day following local footpaths and exploring the surrounding countryside, then return to the pub for something to eat and a well-earned drink.

Head Chef Ray Pullen’s menus are built around seasonal British ingredients, with familiar pub favourites alongside lighter dishes. The bar serves local ales, wines and cocktails throughout the day and into the evening.
