The Williams Family have been nestled in the Upper Llanover Valley for nearly 100 years, and the farming duo Kyle and Haf, have now taken over as Landlord and Landlady of the Goose and Cuckoo Inn.
They’ve both sat on the opposite bank and dreamed of the day that they could call the pub their own, and now their dreams have come true! Bringing together their love for the area and the pub itself, they feel so privileged to be given the custodianship of this magnificent inn.
We stayed at Hendres cottages for a few nights and walked to the pub on couple evenings for some drinks. The views around are spectacular. The pub is very authentic! Super friendly owners and friendly locals made our holiday even more special. Thanks for great time! If a man is at the pub with his guitar you will be in for a treat!
A seriously fantastic traditional pub. It is set in beautiful surroundings and the new owners will make you feel so welcome. Always a good selection of ales and pub meals on offer. They put on a great series of events throughout the year.
A gorgeous little pub situated in the beautiful welsh hillside with a picturesque view. The owners are such wonderful people, Kyle & Haf. The food is delicious, great value for money and great portion sizes! Lots of great drinks to choose from. Another great perk is the Pub has links to cottages for a cosy stay! A welcoming and cosy atmosphere, with an exciting future ahead of it! I would fully recommend a visit.
This place is in the middle of NOWHERE (thankfully we had a local to guide us) but it's worth seeking out. Thoroughly authentic country pub in every way, and super-friendly staff who couldn't have been nicer to us tourists. Food is classic pub fare and we enjoyed everything put in front of us.
Full of love and Welsh charm. If it's a modern pub with sharp edges, the usual brews, along high Street... The Goose ain't for you. You will find this in the middle of nowhere at the end of a long dead end road. We found a seat by a little window. Above the geese, an unusual black goat. Below is in the room on the floor a trapdoor to the cellar. Around us a crowd of Welsh rugby locals anticipating a Welsh Rugby turnaround against Scotland. Very very nice and memorable for us, two kiwis lost In the Llanfoist.
