Goudhurst is a pretty village that sits proudly in the Kentish Weald Area of Natural Beauty, about 12 miles south of Maidstone. The village is absurdly picturesque and is home to over 200 listed buildings within the village, including the stunning timber-framed inn, standing beside the 12th century church and the traditional oast houses looking over the villages duck pond. The historic high street is home to lots of small independent shops and cafes and aesthetically has changed very little over the centuries, featuring a lovely collection of historic buildings, many of them in the traditional Kentish weatherboard style.

We had a wonderful stay in Judith's cozy cottage. It truly lacked nothing, and we were surprised with a lovely welcome package. The location in the beautiful village is simply delightful, and it is also great for excursions to the High Wealds. We would love to come back.
