Official Description (provided by the hotel):: You are invited to bed and breakfast at our Tudor home in the heart of the Weald of Kent. Godwin House, is an Elizabethan farmhouse built in 1580 and, set in lovely grounds minutes from ancient Cranbrook and Sissinghurst. You can choose between two luxurious en suite rooms - stylish Garden Cottage or our beautiful, unique Oast House, the oldest in England, a 16th Century building rebuilt in 1740. Garden Cottage with its peg tiled roof and weatherboarding is pure Kentish style. Exposed beams and antique furniture create a welcoming and interesting space, relaxing and private. Godwin’s Oast House is special. There’s nowhere like it. You are in the heart of Kent’s history and rural life but with en-suite comfort,fine furnishings, king sized sleigh bed and mod cons. Breakfast is the best of local produce with home baked bread fresh on the day served in our Tudor Morning Room in the house overlooking the views in this designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. ... more less

“Oast with the most......”

Reviewed 19 May 2013 NEW via mobile

..... and host with the toast.I echo all that has been already said.... Lovely in every way. Beautiful house and gardens, we stayed in the Oast house; a quirky and unique room, warm and womblike with the sumptuous bed of many duvets. And sleeping amongst woven wall hangings and brass rubbings was really special.... A medieval fantasy yet with all... More

“A B&B with style!”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

We didn't expect room service in a B&B but the delicious home-made cake and tea that was brought to our room on arrival certainly hit the spot! We stayed when it was quite cold and discovered when we returned from dining out that extra blow heaters had been put in bedroom and by bathroom as well as hot water bottles... More

“Wonderful B&B retreat”

Reviewed 9 April 2013

We have just returned from a fantastic trip to Godwin House, staying in the Garden Cottage. A wonderful B&B retreat, providing a warm welcome and great attention to detail. Tea and cake on arrival, great recommendations for evening meals, and even filling hot water bottles for our return! Would thoroughly recommend it - great location and great hosts. From Julia...

Thank you for bringing the sunshine with you! Gosh we need more of that. It would be great to see you here again when the summer has got a proper hold of the garden. More

“A wonderful, homely experience”

Reviewed 23 March 2013

We gave extremely short notice and were thrilled to be able to stay at Godwin House; a wonderful, authentic establishment with a very warm, familial and friendly atmosphere. The short hop from Folkestone after a long drive through France was hugely appreciated, so a massive thumbs up for Channel Tunnel travellers. Godwin House is superbly located, thus ruling out the...

“Garden Room with va va voom.”

Reviewed 3 March 2013

While looking for a bed and breakfast in rural Kent for a weekend break we stumbled upon Godwin House. We were not disappointed. From the moment we arrived we received a warm welcome along with homemade cake and tea(much appreciated on a cold March day). The excellently appointed garden room made a very comfortable stay with everything you could want... More

The Garden Room with va va voom! What good fun to have all these free publicity rhymes from our guests. We enjoyed the children chats. Good to compare notes and tips on bringing up four. We hope the rest of you birthday treat went well. Please come back for another one. More

“Oast with a boast !”

Reviewed 25 February 2013

Just what a B&B should be .Both rooms were interesting and well appointed and we were welcomed very warmly. It was good to have fresh milk for tea & coffee in our rooms. Breakfast was a good combination of healthy and not so healthy options!,which we enjoyed in the main house overlooking Sean & Corinna's lovely garden .Certainly worth visiting... More

We enjoyed meeting such an interesting family - it was a real pleasure to have you... and we loved the slogan you instantly suggested. We may use it for our publicity - The oast with a boast. The cheque's in the post. We hope you'll come again and see the garden when it's blooming. More

“Lovely surprise”

Reviewed 17 February 2013

We stayed in May 2012 for my birthday which was booked as a surprise by my partner. I love anything out of the ordinary and was VERY pleased with this B&B. The owners were lovely and the oast room was something out of Elizabethan England which really appealed to us. The grounds have a ha ha running through with tons... More

It's very pleasing to hear that your stay in the Oast House was a great birthday surprise for you. It is a unique space and right in the heart of Kent's history. We enjoyed having you here last year it was a merry time with our other guests. We'll be having the sheep back in our meadows when, if ever,... More

“Better than a 5-star hotel!”

Reviewed 24 November 2012

A fantastic stay in the countryside with amenities found at 5-star hotels. We had our own 'building' with a spotless and newly-refurbished bathroom and bedroom. The large bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept in! Satellite tv and wifi, hairdryer, books, tea and coffee-making facilities, water, wine and snacks. Everything we needed was at our fingertips. Sean and... More

It was a real pleasure to have you both and I'm glad you enjoyed your stay... despite all the rain! Thank you for your lovely review which we appreciate greatly and I hope that we will see you again over the next few years! All best wishes to you both. More

“English Tranquility”

We booked Godwin House on-line (and were drawn to the property - it is our surname) as our usual farm house B&B was fully booked. Valerie and I found Godwin House tranquil and inviting with our hosts, Seán and Corinna most welcoming. ...afternoon tea and home-made chocolate cake was given to us on our arrival. This we partook on the... More

Godwin House enjoyed having the Godwins to stay. Thank you for your good company and your kind words and we look forward to seeing you back here. Maybe you could give us a poetry recital. That would be fun. More

“An exceptional place”

Reviewed 16 September 2012

A wonderful place - a real treasure. From finding and booking us a restaurant before our arrival, to a warm welcome with tea and cake and finding us an alternative restaurant after we arrived late, Seán and Corinna are wonderful hosts and I can't fault the two nights I stayed in the garden cottage in any way. As well as... More

That's very kind of you and very quick. Thank you very much. It was good conversation and I'm glad you liked the books. We didn't get one in about Irish poetry - maybe next time. You must come again. There's loads more for you both to do which I know you would like and it would be fun to have... More
