The Norman Knight

Whichford, Warwickshire

Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.

A restored former bakery overlooking the green in Whichford, with rooms and Cotswold cabins, selected ones dog-friendly, and local footpaths around the village.

Set in a beautifully restored former bakery overlooking the village green, The Norman Knight is a classic Cotswold pub with rooms in Whichford, near Shipston-on-Stour. A country break is better when the dog can come too, as the inn sees it, and this dog friendly inn makes a relaxed starting point for walks, quiet days out and weekends exploring the North Cotswolds together.

Selected accommodation welcomes dogs, out of nine rooms and cabins in all, and the inn doesn't say which, so speak to the team before booking and they will help you pick the right option for you and your dog. The rooms are calm and comfortable, with soft furnishings and well-considered lighting, and the cabins give a little more privacy and a quieter start to the day. Its pages do not mention how many dogs a room takes, so ask that at the same time.

Dogs are welcome in designated areas, so let the team know when you reserve a table and they will seat you comfortably. The kitchen keeps to quality British ingredients cooked with care, with familiar pub classics alongside lighter, more contemporary dishes and a proper Sunday roast with all the trimmings. Local ales, carefully selected wines and well-made cocktails are poured throughout the day and into the evening, and breakfast is included with every stay.

Whichford is surrounded by countryside, lanes and local footpaths, so you can spend the day following them with your dog and return for something to eat and a well-earned drink. Rollright Stones and Little Rollright Circular, the nearest walk on Wildpack's map, is 2.9 miles away.
