The lodge enjoys a beautiful and timeless view across to historic Bodiam Castle, which is managed by the National Trust and is well worth a visit. Hop on the nearby Kent and East Sussex railway and take a visit to the market town of Tenterden with its tree lined high street, and wide range of independent shops, restaurants and cafes.

The bespoke fittings throughout are made from oak salvaged from the woodland around the farm from the 1987 storm.

A great few days away at Goldings lodge. Visited St. Leonards-On-Sea. A great place for a day out. Not too commercialised. Loved The Goats Ledge beach bar. Goldings is very dog friendly. Will be back.

This is a quirky lodging set in a very pretty garden. Its extremely peaceful and the deck is a lovely place on a summers evening. Dogs would love it as much as their owners I think. The Hub sells tasty cakes, wish we could have tried their pizza and cocktail Friday evening. Walkable distance to Bodiam Castle and the local pub.

We had a lovely peaceful break here. We enjoyed it so much we have booked again for next year. Nice walks, lovely local pubs, 25 minute drive to the coast. The lodge is very private and not overlooked at all. Great place to stay for us and our dog.

Awesome property - perfect for relaxing and taking in nature and the countryside. Attention to detail exceptional with a window in the trees to view Bodiam Castle and a seat on the patio to watch the sunset. Beautiful, peaceful surroundings made us reluctant to go out....will definitely be returning some time.
