Guest Reviews

Verified traveler (6/5): Disappointing - POD was clean and had a good use of space. We stayed on a Monday night, the pub did not serve food on Mondays, only found this out reading my booking confirmation, obviously after booking but thankfully before we arrived. Had a beautiful meal at The Cherington on route, would totally recommend, great hospitality. POD was well heated and also equipped with air con which was good. We booked a superior pod although not sure what made it superior. The bed and pillows were terribly uncomfortable, you could feel every spring in the mattress and the pillows had barely any filling, sleep was awful. The kitchen cupboard had no handle on it, broken. The shower was also terrible as either scolding hot or freezing cold, no water pressure and shower rail broken. Only one mug in cupboard so had to enter another empty cabin to find another mug for tea. Curtains were caught all over and looked shabby. Laminate flooring obviously been damp and had started lifting. Not sure why this pod was more expensive than the others at all. We paid thinking it was the most luxurious of the lot. Photos on hotels.com really didn’t show what was to be expected. Completely understand the concept of glamping as we’ve stayed in many yurts, shepherds huts etc this was by far the most disappointing. What a shame.
Tom (10/5): - Amazing stay, everything we needed, great location, very great hosts!
Verified traveler (10/5): We'll be back - The glamping pod was really cosy and the bed very comfortable for a good nights sleep. It was great to have an ensuite toilet and shower and the cooking facilities too. The pub staff were friendly and helpful, good real ales and tasty food. There's a good choice of local walks from the door too. All in all it was good value and we would definitely go back again.
Melanie (10/5): Excellent - Excellent accomadation staff lovely and friendly
Julian (10/5): - My stay at The Norman Knight was amazing. The accommodation was just what I wanted and the staff were AMAZING!
Andrea (8/5): - 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.
Nicola (2/5): - 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.
Verified traveler (10/5): Fox den pod - Our stay in fox den pod was fantastic. It loved lovely and was something different. The pod was clean had everythingbin there that you needed. Staff were welcoming helpful and polite. Would highly recommend and stay there again
Carol (8/5): Pleasant pod - 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.
John (10/5): Lovely pub and accommodation - Received a warm friendly welcome. The pod was great, exceeded our expectations. Luckily the pub had live music on the night we stayed, so a big bonus.
Bet (10/5): - Wonderful place to stay. I would just recommend the company to have more details in the folder about the pod. Wi fi code, Turning heating on Out of hours emergency number I must say the food and staff in the pub in front of the pods were amazing ❤️
Salvatore (10/5): Great stay - Public House was really good. Staff where friendly and welcoming Food excellent Accommodation was really nice and had all we needed.
Ben (10/5): Stunning. - 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!
Verified traveler (8/5): Great little stay - Great little stay at The Norman Knight - well sized and really well finished pods which have everything you need. Only downside was some of the local people were having a party on both nights of the weekend and the sound travelled quite a lot and was quite disturbing so something to be wary of. Cleanliness and location of the pods are great and all staff incredibly friendly.
Anja (10/5): - We really enjoyed our stay here. Was situated in a lovely quiet location, beautiful surroundings. Fully equipped pod and the resident little pigs kept my daughter entertained throughout our stay as she enjoyed watching them.
Daniel (10/5): Robins Nest - We loved our stay, it’s our second time. We went for the bigger hut this time and it didn’t disappoint. Great base and wonderful pub to visit and the food is excellent! Staff are friendly, welcoming and just fab!
Christopher (10/5): Great location for Cotswold Distillery Tour - 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
Annie (6/5): Pub best bit - 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.
Russell (8/5): - Great place to stay, and the staff were excellent
Robert (8/5): - 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
Nathan (10/5): - Amazing place to eat and stay. Really friendly and helpful staff
Steve (10/5): - A very warm welcome, great pod and fantastic evening meal!
Daniel (10/5): - Very enjoyable and great location
Hayley (10/5): - It was an amazing experience
Richard (10/5): Amazing friendly find. - A great find, extremely helpful team, made sure we had something available to eat when we arrived late. A warm welcome was received, and dogs are more than welcome. EV charging point available. The pod we stayed in had everything we needed, clean and comfortable.
Michelle (10/5): Lovely Pods & Very welcoming - Lovely and relaxing place to stay, Pods are lovely and warm and very relaxing, Nice place for lovely walks and a great pub next door with a fantastic choice of good food.
Sian (10/5): - I brought this as a gift for my mums 70th as I stay there often and she absolutely loved her stay, the staff are amazing and the accommodation is fabulous!!! My mum will be rebooking another little escape soon!!!
Karen (10/5): Brilliant, would come again! - Hosts were super friendly and helpful. Pod was cosy but had all the facilities necessary for a fab couple of days with 2 adults, 2 teenagers and 2 dogs. Only downside was TV signal was weak so couldn't rely on that for entertainment...
Darren (6/5): - I sent messages to the property and spoke to a staff member about my booking. Still waiting…. Restaurant staff engaged in the restaurant and bar. No one seemed to care about the room details l was querying. Room was nice enough but certainly won’t be coming back.
Simon (6/5): - 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.
lisa (10/5): - Fab location to explore the beautiful area. Lovely friendly staff in the pub which served delicious food. Excellent comfortable stay.
Julie (8/5): - Beautiful accommodation and we loved the pigs! All we needed was in there. Felt that there could have been instructions for the lighting as this would have been lovely if we knew how to use it, or maybe batteries had run out on remote. Would definitely recommend and stay again!
Andrew (10/5): Very pleasant stay. - Very nice cabin behind a lovely pub. The staff were very friendly and efficient. Have stayed there before and will likely do so again.
Robert (8/5): Stunning Location, Fab food - Overall the stay was good, however the bed was a big letdown for us as the individual pads that made the mattress moved and we ended up sleeping in a hole.
Chloe (8/5): - 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.
Vince (8/5): Glamping in the Cotswolds - 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.
Zara (10/5): Lovely stay, very nice people - The staff were very freindly, the pod we stayed in was lovely and clean and warm. The pub made tasty meals and had a cupboard with games in for kids
Simon (8/5): Glamping! - 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.
Alec (10/5): Great stay - The pod was well equipped and very clean. We would stay again.
Kerry (10/5): Worth a visit - What a lovely little village. The cabin was just what we needed as a couple travelling with out Border Collie. Staff in the Norman Knight pub were very friendly. Check in was easy as a key had been left in the cabin ready for us to get in which was good as it was raining. The food was beautiful and service fantastic
Chris (10/5): - 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.
philip (10/5): - very friendly people, good food
Queenie (10/5): Excellent dog friendly stay - Our stay at Norman Knight was perfect. Everyone was so welcoming during our stay.
elizabeth (8/5): - .
Alison (10/5): Perfect for a mini break - I stayed for just one night with my kids and small dog, it was perfect for our needs. Tidy, clean and surprisingly spacious. The green opposite was a nice surprise to walk the dog on.
Sallie (4/5): - 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.
Sian (10/5): - Amazing little escape the staff couldn’t have been more friendly and the shepherds hut was such a fun experience! Can’t wait to go back 👍👍👍👍
Emma (8/5): Family Xmas break - Shepherds hut was cozy and spotless. Food in the pub was amazing but not really family friendly as a lot of locals stood around shouting and swearing regardless of me sat there with my children. Felt uncomfortable being there . Very rural so a car a must.
Julia (10/5): - It was very nice, unusual and comfortable.
Susan (10/5): A Knight to remember - Comfy and cosy accommodation, lovely food and super-friendly staff. A great location for a convivial reunion with old friends.
