The garden is beautiful, but not a family friendly location. You can only picnic next to the car park (outside of the venue, which is a little embarrassing and not a pleasant experience), also there are no picnic benches in the picnic area, so no where to put your food. The garden has plenty of space for a picnic area inside the gardens, hidden round by the pond, but clearly families are not welcome. Also there is no life ring next to any of the ponds, which is a big health and safety no,no.
Also no activities on site for families such as a climbing frame or anything. They could install some in the woodlands area, that wouldn't disturb anyone. Also, no proper food on the menu, very limited drinks options (tea/coffee/water or over priced lemonade. Hold on, there is another restaurant to eat, but you can only access that restaurant if you pay an entry fee to go in the house, whether you want to see the house or not. Also staff jump on everything, e.g don't go on the grass, don't go in that room as it's private (even though there was no sign), don't sit on the floor in the picnic area, don't smile, don't have a nice time. Don't come back. But do spend your money on your visit and do tell others how wonderful the house is. Wow, terrible experience.

Absolutely beautiful gardens and house.
We visited during the week of the sculpture exhibition in the extensive grounds.
Each exhibitor had an area in the gardens and we were impressed with the variety of exhibits and their locations.
We can honestly say it's one of the most beautiful gardens we have visited.
Staff are welcoming and helpful and ensure you are prepared for your journey around the gardens.
We definately will return to this jewel in Kent.

Visited both house and gardens. The house and garden are both beautiful, the atmosphere as others have mentioned is very welcoming and deliberately not corporate. The house is held in trust and clearly much loved and cherished.
The tour is well worth taking , no photos allowed but guide book available for a reasonable £3. There is a lot of history to cover, the building is full of original features , interesting furniture and family history. The guides very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
Tea room is traditional style , beautifully decorated with William Morris wallpaper and family portraits .
Cream tea at £6.50 is homemade with local ingredients and excellent value.
Gardens are varied, vast and very interesting.
Tour of the house lasted just under 1.45 hrs.
My only criticism would be that it might have been just a little bit too long for such a warm day.
Throughly recommend a trip here , we used our Historic House Membership for entry, otherwise it is £8 for gardens or £15 for both house and gardens.

Lived in Ashford for a while and knew about Godinton House but have never visited until now. Definitely recommend the house tour. Such a beautiful kept house. The tour guides were very knowledgeable, such lovely ladies. We learnt so much about the house and its many occupants.
No photos allowed inside the house but to be honest I think it made you look at things more and take it all in rather than getting your phone out every few minutes to take photos!
As for the gardens… they are beautiful. My husband and I came away with garden envy! The gardens are so vast that regardless of the amount of visitors there you didn’t feel like you were bumping into people. At times it was nice and peaceful walking round. Not sure personally if young children would find it that interesting. Also I would definitely recommend the tea room. The warmed scones with cream and locally made jam are delicious with a pot of tea! Reasonably priced too.
Overall a beautiful afternoon visit.

Really loved this place. Beautiful and extensive gardens, with various places to sit and contemplate the world, enhanced at the time of our visit by many interesting sculptures. We didn’t get chance to tour the house, other than the tea room, but would certainly recommend that as well ! We’d urge you to visit.

Beautiful gardens set in rolling landscape. Super well maintained. Spectacular hedges. Kitchen garden is superb. Some interesting topiary and spectacular garden rooms. Staff really helpful, cafe is great and cheap, and the ice cream is good too.
It's a bit of a hidden gem and I'm surprised we have not found it before.

Fascinating guided tour of a stunning mainly Jacobean house with beautiful gardens. Guides helpful, interesting and entertaining. Rooms full of exceptional porcelain and furniture. Charming large bay windowed tea room - good value and staffed by courteous and friendly waitresses.

We live locally but had only been to the gardens for outdoor theatre.
Quiet gardens surrounding a well presented house with tours led by guides.
Timed tickets for house tour which takes about an hour. Well scripted tour in small groups. No large bags allowed.
Lovely tea room.
There are some plants for sale but otherwise there is no upselling of membership, no expensive gift shop, no posters advertising cottages or do not touch, sit etc signs that the National charities put everywhere.
Just enjoy the house and gardens.

Gorgeous gardens and walks, lovely cream tea, and interesting guided tour. £15pp for entry and tour. (I wouldn't recommend the tour for children - it's over an hour and a lot of information.)

We have clearly marked accessibility routes with seats around the garden. You can use the paths or grass and we have many visitors with strollers, scooters and wheelchairs.
كُتب بتاريخ 29 يوليو 2019
Is this accessible for mobility scooters?
كُتب بتاريخ 30 أبريل 2019
I’m do not think you would be able to use one in the house.
Also there would be limited access to the gardens as there are steps down to part of the gardens and some of the paths are grass ones. I am not sure if they have ramps in the gardens, I didn’t see any when I was there. You could check their website or telephone them for more information on this.

Between April and the beginning of October on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays you can also visit the House (which costs 10 pounds including the gardens) and the Tea Room is open.
