• "We decided to take a last minute break and found Goose Lodge, how lucky were we?"

  It was absolutely lovely and Judith, Alisdair and Billy the dog made us very welcome. The Lodge was spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated and furnished and well equipped. When self catering, we enjoy sourcing local produce and then cooking at home (on some days!!). The layout of Goose Lodge was ideal for us as it's open plan, so we could cook and chat together. Goose Lodge is located in a small, pretty village and provides an excellent base for travelling around the area. The pub/hotel is literally a few minutes walk away and the food was well presented, exceptionally tasty and a reasonable price. Shipston on Stour is a few miles away, there was free parking and a range of shops including an amazing butchers, a greengrocery with a fish counter, delightful. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back to Goose Lodge, the combination of it's excellent facilities and it's fabulous location make it the ideal spot for visiting the area. Thanks again to Judith and Alisdair.

  We’re delighted that you enjoyed your visit and many thanks for the wonderful feedback and comments John. Look forward to welcoming you back anytime. Alasdair Judith and Billy. Property Owner

• "Lovely place."

  Well kitted out although chairs round table were rather uncomfortable. Kitchen utensils etc good but not really any suitable dishes with kids for cooking in the microwave. Excellent TV and comfortable seating. Good mattress often not the case in other cottages. Cosy and light. Would certainly come again. Shame we didn’t get to meet owners.

  Sorry you found the dining chairs uncomfortable. We have the same mattress on our own bed so I know it’s comfortable. I will check if the microwave containers need replacing ASAP. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Property Owner

  We have booked a few cottages around the Cotswold area but none have met such a high standard of cleanliness, style and comfort as goose lodge The accommodation was superb modern yet warm and comfortable,the level of presentation and cleaning done was excellent, lots of space and a stocked kitchen for when you feel like cooking and a decent television for a change for those cold nights in, The area is picturesque and a fantastic base for touring the Cotswolds, but take a torch the village doesn’t believe in street lighting so an evening walk can be tricky, are hosts made us and are dog most welcome on arrival and where always available if called upon , Goose lodge is by far the nicest place we have stayed so far in the Cotswolds and will definitely be returning , One last thing I will add, you can park your car out side your door which is quite a novelty theses days when you hire a place in the Cotswolds Thanks for a lovely stay Chris , Sandra and penny Are dog was welcomed by

  We booked a last minute weekend away and Goose Lodge was just perfect. Spotlessly clean and furnished to a very high standard. Very cozy to come home to on a chilly December day. The lodge had everything we needed. Great pub in the village which serves a cracking Sunday lunch. Really well placed for visiting many of the Cotswold villages during your stay. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we will be back again. Chris, Jan and Pixie.

• ""The perfect spot for a quiet getaway or a fantastic base for exploring the beautiful Warwickshire countryside."

  The Lodge is excellent with everything you need in a home from home, the bed is probably the best we have slept in (including our own!) and the accommodation was immaculately clean and tidy when we arrived. Judith and Alasdair (and Billy the Airedale) are the perfect host, leaving us to our own devices but on hand for any questions or enquiries we had, nothing seemed to much trouble. The village is quaint with a number of walking routes around the area and the food in the Halford Bridge Inn is superb. Unless you just want to stay in the village and chill, you will probably need a vehicle (we didn’t try public transport) but Shipston on Stour is only a couple of miles away and Stratford upon Avon and Warwick are within very easy reach. This is probably the best location we have stayed in in the last 10 years." Thank you for the use of your fantastic lodge and we’ll definitely be planning our return. ( if you’ll have us

  ) Perfect location for exploring the surrounding area or simply doing nothing but relax and unwind. The gifts of fresh tomatoes and peaches from the gardens were a bonus. The owners were lovely and didn't even bat an eyelid when our dog Rufus disappeared into their house with Billy, their dog, and refused to come out! Definitely recommend 5/5 all the way.

  Thank you Samantha for such a lovely review. So glad you enjoyed your stay in Goose Lodge and Billy certainly enjoyed playing with Rufus! Have a great party. Property Owner

  The dog bowl, dog biscuits and dog feeding mat were appreciated as was the welcome back message around the bottle of wine. The friendly owners were discretely on hand if there were any issues that needed to be addressed and were always willing to chat if we saw them in passing on the driveway leading to the lodge. Although we didn’t get to use the seating on the deck to the front of the property we thought it was a nice touch which added to the overall appeal. We would thoroughly recommend the property because of its’ location and the friendliness of the owners and the people in Halford.

  . Only comment would be if there was a small area of grass/lawn up by the lodge that would be amazing... Just for pooches to have tiddles last thing at night or early doors. But have to say everything was just lovely, great place to stay! Will definitely come back.

  Thanks for your great feedback. Unfortunately there is nowhere to put any grass outside the lodge as the space is needed for parking and turning. In the past we have allowed people to bring their dog onto our lawn so please ask when you next come. Property Owner

  It is plenty big enough for the two of us; very light and airy due to the vaulted ceiling in the lounge/diner with velux windows and the double sets of french doors and glass; very comfortable being furnished to a high standard; and provided everything we needed for a week's stay. The location makes it an ideal place to stay for exploring the tourist hotspots of the Cotswolds, and Stratford upon Avon is only about 25 minutes drive away.

  On arrival, the place was very clean, tidy and warm. The owners are very friendly and welcoming. The cottage is very stylish with ample open plan kitchen/dining/living room and good size bedroom and bathroom; all facilities are well equipped.
