Best pubs in Nottinghamshire: ‘Beautiful’ country pub near Nottingham to reopen after three-year closure

A traditional country pub on the Nottinghamshire-Lincolnshire border is to reopen next year following a three-year closure.

The Manners Arms, in Knipton, will reopen its doors in spring 2025, having closed in 2022.

Located on the Belvoir Estate, the Manners Arms is situated within a late 18th-century Grade II listed building.

Once fully refurbished, the pub will feature a new menu, bar area and 10 en-suite bedrooms.

Emma Manners, The Duchess of Rutland, who is personally overseeing the project said: “This beautiful, homely country retreat was the heart of Knipton village for many wonderful years and we would very much like to put The Manners back into the centre of the local community once again.

“The building is too stunning to leave empty with so many cherished memories attached to it. I feel people have missed The Manners Arms and all that it offered – so I hope the news of its reopening will be very welcomed.”

With its roaring fire and traditional features, the Manners Arms earned an impressive four-star Google rating prior to its closure in 2022.
