Introduction

Situated in the heart of the Weald of Kent in an area of outstanding natural beauty, Godwin House is just one mile east of the ancient village of Cranbrook, the smallest town in Kent and one of its prettiest.

It is a Kentish experience evoking the best of times past and present. Garden Cottage is built in a traditional Kentish style with a peg tiled roof and weatherboarding, original beams and antique furniture. It offers spacious accommodation with separate comfortable seating and modern facilities such as Wi-Fi, twin i-pod docking, freeview television, DVD player and library of films.

History to the present day

Built in 1580, Godwin House is a largely intact Elizabethan farmhouse, set in lovely grounds looking across meadows. It includes what's said to be the smallest and the oldest oast house in England, a 16th Century building rebuilt in 1740 and listed in its own right.

Food and Drinks

Full English breakfast is served in the main house in an original Tudor morning room complete with beamed ceiling and antique furniture. In the summer months breakfast can be enjoyed on the patio, overlooking the splendid gardens.

Food comes from local suppliers including eggs from the nearest farm, locally baked bread served with Cranbrook honey and Kentish jam. Bacon and sausages come from farms round about. Special variety sausages like venison or wild boar with apple are available for an additional charge. Please specify in advance. Vegetarian diets are also catered for.
