"One of the loveliest gardens in Kent". Hugn Montgomery-Massingberd, The Field "The rural lanes between Canterbury and Sandwich conceal a gem of a garden." Kathryn Bradley-Hole, The Daily Telegraph "Sissinghurst without the crowds… I have never been in a garden more peaceful, romantic and welcoming, nor one with plants more imaginatively combined." Pamela Harper, Pacific Horticulture

"The overall impression is that you have stepped into the very heart of rural England."
Stephen Lacey, The Garden

"Totally unsuspected, a walled kitchen garden covering several acres has been turned almost entirely into a flower garden… It is a dramatic moment when you see it first and it is some time before you continue to explore."
Fred Whitsey, Country Life

"Five miles from Canterbury and almost the same distance from the M2 motorway, Goodnestone Park feels a hundred miles away from everywhere and more than a hundred years away from the 1980s, such is the timeless tranquillity of its gardens and parkland."
Jane Fearnley-Whittingstall, Rose Gardens
