What guests think
Guests at The Norman Knight consistently praise the warm, welcoming staff and popular pub, noting clean, well-equipped glamping pods in a quiet village location that makes a handy base for walks, the nearby distillery, and countryside exploring.
Common drawbacks are uncomfortable beds made from separate cushions that shift, occasional housekeeping or maintenance niggles, and patchy pre-arrival or check-in communication. Several guests were caught out by limited food service on Sunday or Monday evenings and suggest clearer information in advance. Overall, expect straightforward glamping with comfort depending on the bed setup, best suited to short, low-key stays.

We arrived later than expected due to bad traffic on our route, and were welcomed with such a lovely welcome, and they had also kept the kitchen staff for us incase we were hungry. The landlady, Becky, was so friendly and showed us to our beautiful pod. We were welcomed by 4 pigs running over to the side of their gate. Lovely location, lovely people, lovely food, and most importantly, lovely beer!

Helpful and friendly staff, food was good, great choice of beer. Good location close to the Cotswolds Distillery in Stourton. The Glamping Pod wasn't as good as expected, though, our Superior Pod didn't look as good as the others, it was in a corner next to a (smelly) pen of turkeys, and had a very small fridge with door parts missing. Distinct lack of storage space and bed was very uncomfortable (could feel the springs). Pods were very close together, too, not much privacy. Expected some nice views but basically Pods were just placed just at the back of the pub.

Stayed in a glamping pod. Beer and food at the Norman Knight are excellent. Staff are friendly and very helpful. Quiet village location, the pub is something of a cross between a gastropub and a village local. Stayed on a Wednesday night and the dining room was almost full.

We were informed a day before arrival that there was a town classic car and bike show hosted by the pub on the green across. Although we enjoyed the friendly gathering, it was very packed with visitors. The access to the pub was difficult and no way could we have gone in and out again. Very nice and courteous staff that helped us make our way through the bbq to get to the back of the pub. Our pod unit appeared quaint as photos shown. However, the cushion pad was stained below the sheet and the bed mattress was just seat cushions in various small sections that were extremely uncomfortable and separated between the gaps as we slept. We were also not aware from the description that hot water for the shower only were available every other 1-2 minute (small storage tank) hence a horrible shower experience. A window without covering is located in the sleeping quarter so we were all woken up pretty early to find that the pub wasn’t open til noon and earliest a local pottery cafe wasn’t open till 10 am.

All you need I. The pod pleasant stay, nice area, lovely pub, No food served on a Monday and unfortunately we went on a Monday, but a pizza van is in the car park from 18.00 - 20.30 , this should be in your information. The pod could do with a new Mattress quite uncomfortable and a deep clean , it wasn’t dirty just dusty , sheets and towels lovely and clean as was bathroom, the toaster was very dirty would not use apart from that would go again.

Lovely stay the pod was very clean and spacious. Utensils were supplied and towels and bedding was immaculate. Outside space was an added bonus and a sun trap. Unfortunately the main bed was very uncomfortable, it was made up of cushions that kept on coming apart. Expected a mattress if I’m being honest. Only blankets were supplied for the single beds and would have preferred proper bedding for the children. If I’d have known then I would have brought our own bedding. Park and field just across the road from the venue so perfect for dogs and children.

The glamping pods are modern, clean and comfortable; TV was a modern unit, but didn’t seem to have been properly tuned, so finding channels was a faff. We dined in the pub on the Saturday night and the food offer was good, what we didn’t realise was the pub didn’t offer food or drinks on Sunday or Monday evenings which meant having to drive elsewhere, somewhat defeating the object of staying at a pub. Maybe this downside could be more prominent for future bookings. The location in Whichford is nice, with a park opposite, perfect for the little boy who was with us. Overall a good stay, bar staff were pleasant and thanks to Helen, Emma and Kat for helping us settle in and deal with the issues above.

The overall experience was good. The pod was very clean. The bed was comfortable. The seats were not very comfortable. Equipment was good apart from a blunt bread knife. The shower worked well, but the shower head and holder were broken and needs repairing. As you would expect space was limited and my wife missed a full length mirror. Overall we were satisfied, but wouldn't like to stay for more than 3 or 4 days. The food and service at the pub was very good.

Really nice cosy cabin for a fun getaway with two younger children. Had everything we needed and nice and clean. Unfortunately we were here on a Monday night and while the pub was open - they do not do food (they did let us know this) but a pizza van appears instead. Would recommend the cabins for a short stay/stopover if in the area

Rooms
Pods are cosy, modern and well equipped, but many found the main beds uncomfortable (separate cushions that shift) and space or storage limited, with modest views and little privacy behind the pub; TV reception or tuning also caused issues for some.

We were also not aware from the description that hot water for the shower only were available every other 1-2 minute (small storage tank) hence a horrible shower experience. A window without covering is located in the sleeping quarter so we were all woken up pretty early to find that the pub wasn’t open til noon and earliest a local pottery cafe wasn’t open till 10 am.
We were informed a day before arrival that there was a town classic car and bike show hosted by the pub on the green across. Although we enjoyed the friendly gathering, it was very packed with visitors. The access to the pub was difficult and no way could we have gone in and out again.

We booked here as was nearest to our Distillery Tour and we were not disappointed. The Pod was superb and the Norman Knight was a great place to eat. We were warmly welcomed and as we were unable to book a taxi to our venue Emma offered to take us to the Distillery. We ate there in the evening and the food was great. Would definitely visit again

We arrived later than expected due to bad traffic on our route, and were welcomed with such a lovely welcome, and they had also kept the kitchen staff for us incase we were hungry. The landlady, Becky, was so friendly and showed us to our beautiful pod. We were welcomed by 4 pigs running over to the side of their gate. Lovely location, lovely people, lovely food, and most importantly, lovely beer!

Cosy pod but smaller than expected. Bedding didn’t fit duvet and bed uncomfortable. No nice views just in a kind of pub car park with a pig pen too. Pub was first class, friendly and fab food so that’s what made it for us. Far away from any shops or other villages.

Helpful and friendly staff, food was good, great choice of beer. Good location close to the Cotswolds Distillery in Stourton. The Glamping Pod wasn't as good as expected, though, our Superior Pod didn't look as good as the others, it was in a corner next to a (smelly) pen of turkeys, and had a very small fridge with door parts missing. Distinct lack of storage space and bed was very uncomfortable (could feel the springs). Pods were very close together, too, not much privacy. Expected some nice views but basically Pods were just placed just at the back of the pub.

Stayed in a glamping pod. Beer and food at the Norman Knight are excellent. Staff are friendly and very helpful. Quiet village location, the pub is something of a cross between a gastropub and a village local. Stayed on a Wednesday night and the dining room was almost full.

Food and beer in the pub receive frequent praise. Note that the kitchen is closed on Sunday or Monday evenings, with a pizza van on some Mondays, so plan ahead.

All you need I. The pod pleasant stay, nice area, lovely pub, No food served on a Monday and unfortunately we went on a Monday, but a pizza van is in the car park from 18.00 - 20.30 , this should be in your information. The pod could do with a new Mattress quite uncomfortable and a deep clean , it wasn’t dirty just dusty , sheets and towels lovely and clean as was bathroom, the toaster was very dirty would not use apart from that would go again.

The glamping pods are modern, clean and comfortable; TV was a modern unit, but didn’t seem to have been properly tuned, so finding channels was a faff. We dined in the pub on the Saturday night and the food offer was good, what we didn’t realise was the pub didn’t offer food or drinks on Sunday or Monday evenings which meant having to drive elsewhere, somewhat defeating the object of staying at a pub. Maybe this downside could be more prominent for future bookings. The location in Whichford is nice, with a park opposite, perfect for the little boy who was with us. Overall a good stay, bar staff were pleasant and thanks to Helen, Emma and Kat for helping us settle in and deal with the issues above.

Really nice cosy cabin for a fun getaway with two younger children. Had everything we needed and nice and clean. Unfortunately we were here on a Monday night and while the pub was open - they do not do food (they did let us know this) but a pizza van appears instead. Would recommend the cabins for a short stay/stopover if in the area

Although there was no one available at the promised 4pm check in time, we sat in the pub garden waiting for the pub to open. We assumed that the key left in the door in one of the pods was ours. We ate in the pub and enjoyed a very reasonably priced meal. The pod was ideal for a one night stay.

Local area is beautiful. There was no communication re check in or check out. Only because we ‘bumped’ into a guy that was having his day off could we check in. POD was a little grubby.
