Set within 30 km of Monkey World and 45 km of Corfe Castle in Dorchester, Gaggle of Geese Pub - Shepherd Huts & Bell Tents offers accommodation with seating area. There is a private entrance at the country house for the convenience of those who stay. There is an outdoor fireplace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking.

A great week-end drinking, eating and chilling. Very attentive staff. Nice selection of meals offered. We loved the shepherd's hut and it was in our own secluded spot. We enjoyed sitting by the fire pit watching the stars after dark. Our dog also enjoyed himself. Such a dog-friendly place.

    Beautiful peaceful location with some lovely walks directly from the cottage and a short drive to the coast and many places of interest. The owner came to meet me in person which added a lovely personal touch and lives next door which was a great comfort. The cottage is warm and beautifully set up with a touch of luxury and impeccably clean. The added bonus of a wood burner made it especially cozy in the evening.

    Lovely quaint, quiet place, off the beaten track, that served great food, with friendly staff, where nothing was to much bother. The history of the village was amazing. Thank you for a relaxing, peaceful stay, we will be back.

    The accommodation was spacious and spotlessly clean with a lovely balcony overlooking the countryside. Breakfast was excellent and delivered directly to our private room at a time of our choosing. I would have no hesitation in recommending Waterfield House to anyone wanting a quiet break in Dorset.

    The location is excellent - in the countryside but well connected. We loved having the play area, tennis courts and swimming pool. The cottage was very clean and well equipped. It was a quiet and peaceful spot and very suited to children.
