Christmas at Goss Hall

My family and friends had the most wonderful Christmas stay at Goss Hall. We rented the entire house which although large was super cosy and homely. Fabulous kitchen perfect for cooking a Christmas feast. Beautiful grounds and views over the lake + Maggie and her daughter were lovely. Would highly recommend. Jane & John

Amazing house, incredible grounds

We just stayed here for the weekend as an all girls trip of 12. The house is huge, all the bedrooms and really spacious and well furnished. The beds are super comfy. What really sets this property apart is the stunning grounds. We all absolutely loved it. Thank you!

Stay for my sister’s hen party

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Goss Hall this weekend. It was a surprise for my sister’s hen party and when she arrived she was totally taken aback at how beautiful the house was. It was the perfect place for the group of us, an amazing kitchen and living room and dining room where we could all easily fit and enjoy our time. Every bedroom was really spacious and beautifully set up. I had high hopes for the house but it completely exceeded my expectations! Everyone absolutely loved it! The grounds were also beautiful, we had a sunny weekend and it was the perfect place to stay even in the middle of winter! Thank you so much Maggie! Only thing, house is a little tricky to find in the dark, but trust your sat nav, it will take you there.

Lovely house for weekend away

Great space for a group of friends to relax. Social kitchen to hang out in when people are cooking. Beautiful bedrooms. Only improvement would be to add more showers as there are mostly baths.

Goss Hall Ash Nr Canterbury, Kent.

Seven couples from our village in Buckinghamshire chose Goss Hall to spend three days over New Year's Eve because it looked so lovely on the website and we were not disappointed. The house was very clean and well furnished and had everything we needed - the beds were extremely comfortable - as was the whole house. Because we were a large number of people the sitting room needed another sofa perhaps (Maggie, the owner said we could have taken one from upstairs - but this was in retrospect or it would have been fine for 10-12 guests)). The garden is very pretty and must be really lovely in the summer with the water and decking over it. Maggie was very helpful at all stages of booking and a pleasure to have contact with and she recommended a brilliant pub in Sandwich - The King's Head for New Year's Day lunch. I would be happy to recommend Goss Hall to other friends.
