The Gaggle of Geese

Likte - nice campsite in a lovely area
- pub on site
- clean toilets with tp/soap topped up frequently
- activities for children even in poor weather - bus / sheltered ping pong

Likte ikke - due to a wedding event organised on site, our access to the bar and marquee was limited/unavailable and we felt like we were intruding on the wedding party by being there
- decking area and steps outside toilets were very slippery after a rainy night, there was no signage or attempt to remove standing water and my husband slipped and fell on the stairs bruising his back and ribs - luckily there was no serious damage as far as we're aware, but it could have ended in a hospital
- some staff were very tense and 'militant'

Likte Pub food was delicious and staff very welcoming.

Likte ikke Could do with a water stand pipe rather than filling up at the sink.

Likte Very dog friendly, able to pitch anywhere ( not within white lines!! )
Quirky toilets

Likte Very pretty site with lots of activities especially for kids. The best one for my daughters was the playbus but there's also minigolf, ping pong and occasionally archery and axe throwing. The site is behind a pub which was handy. Despite being behind a pub, it is still very quiet and by 10pm there was barely any noise in the campsite.
There was live music in the garden the weekend we were there which was really fun, we had a really lovely time.
I definitely want to come back

Likte ikke The toilets could be attended a bit more often. For example a couple of times the toilet paper was missing and one of the toilet seats was broken. Nothing major though and generally the facilities were clean.
Also, the pub closing times could be communicated a bit better.

Likte Lovely venue and nice food offering. Staff were very attentive and the children loved the playbus!

Likte ikke Didn’t know when booking that there was a wedding on, so it was disappointing that we paid the same amount but couldn’t use the communal areas (especially needed in the rain) and there was no summer wood fire pizza like it was advertised on pitch up (I assume due to the wedding) just one of those things but disappointing as we were a big group that then couldn’t spend time with each other anywhere dry. We were welcome to stay in the pub after dinner but felt like we were encroaching on someone’s special day - no malice towards the pub was just the timing and the unfortunate weather that exacerbated it

Fra bestyreren: Glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and would visit again

Obviously a bit disappointed by the score you gave us.

We wanted to reply as felt your review was a bit misleading for other readers. As a large pub with five acres we often have people celebrating special occasions in areas of our facilities. We are lucky that we have lots of space. The small wedding during your stay had use of our marquee - the rest of the pub was operating as normal and you were welcome to come in to the pub throughout your stay. The weather was poor across the weekend and most of the campers were inside with us for long periods dodging the rain!

Cooking pizzas in the garden is obviously weather dependent!

Likte Pitches, food, music, kids were able to safely go and play, facilities were great, having an electric socket was v useful. Showers and toilets are really good. Love how quiet it was.

Likte The playbus was so much fun on Thursday (became busy on weekend) and the pub is beautiful and both staff and management lovely- really caring and they treat staff really well - it’s a well run pub and campsite. Had bbq and fire too!

Having a campsite at a pub is a novelty and we could spend lots of time in the comfy seating and shade during the hot periods. We had a great time. There’s crazy golf too which looked fun but we didn’t do it.

This is a really lovely place and understandable that it gets busy because it’s such a fab place!

Likte ikke We booked two nights and left after first night as it became too busy on Friday (August weekend is peak I guess). It’s understandable to be busy but we had too many tents, kids and dogs roaming around our tent that we couldn’t relax as we’d hoped. It was a nice atmosphere but just wasn’t our scene.

There was no soap in three dispensers on first day but this was quickly attended to. One toilet was messy but I’m certain it was a small child who had been just before we took our kids (understandable). Other than that the toilets and showers felt clean and looked after.

It’s a great place and not a lot to dislike.

Likte Lovely quiet rural location with lots of walks available directly from the site. Nice pub & dining area to rear. Nice grassy camping area - levelling choks needed in some locations. Nice clean toilets, hot showers & washing up area. Staff very friendly.
