Gaggle of Geese Pub - Shepherd Huts & Bell Tents

Initially thought I'd found a hidden gem as when I called to say we would be late arriving the owners couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating.

The tent was extremely damp and all bedding was wet. This was advertised as dog friendly accomodation and was sadly anything but dog friendly. The collie dog which seemed to live there lunged at my daughter twice and snapped at my young dog. The food was pretty average. The thing that caused most upset though was the lady (friend of owners?) Who complained that the dogs had kept her awake barking all night and was extremely passive aggressive towards my daughter (who has disabilities) telling her that she would need to either sleep in the van with the dog or remove the dog from the premises. The dog was barking through the night and was in a crate in a fully insulated and air conditioned van so as not to annoy other guests whom upon speaking to said they couldn't hear him. I have paid a lot less money for far nicer and friendlier campsites and incidentally when we left at 7am on the Sunday morning there was a dog barking constantly from one of the static vans and ours were quiet. All in all I was very disappointed with what we received for the money we paid.

The facilities were excellent. The soft play bus amazing for the children especially in the rain! The children had an incredible time! Bell tents had proper power supplies and a kettle which was a nice touch. Beds were really comfortable and excellent bed linen. Like being in a hotel! The pub was also really super with a great menu.

Nothing at all!

The staff was very helpful. After a long, long day of travel, the comfort greeting was most rewarding. We enjoyed dining and relaxing at the pub after running around the countryside all day. Sarah, the owner, was great on settling in the guest and explaining the facilities.

Great family weekend. We really enjoyed our stay in the shepherd's hut. Very clean and well equipped. Wonderful play areas for the kids.

The hut was so comfy even though it was icy out side. We were so cozy.

Shepherd hut was beautiful & the welcome fresh bread , biscuits & Prosecco was delightful. They made excellent use of the place , very cosy !

Access to the hut was awful , I appreciate you can’t help the wet weather we’ve been having but some prior warning that we had to walk through a bog would have been helpful ! ( we turned up in white trainers !!!) They had decking waiting to be put down but that didn’t help us , we also had our dog with us ( a Shih Tzu) who unfortunately can’t be picked up up at the moment .

The booking did not include breakfast but the hosts left some bread and honey in the hut along with some lovely biscuits and a small bottle of prosecco - lovely touch!!!!

I don't know what I would improve on to be honest. Maybe the British weather ( a little less rain would have made the field less muddy so thankful we had our wellies!)
