Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Godshill itself is a beautiful small village. It’s almost like other villages in England however this place has more character and values conservation. Speaking of conservation perhaps that’s the reason why the features inside the church were way back however, I quite like that. You can lit a tea light and say your wishes and prayers. You may drop a donation if you like. When our group arrives inside the church they are people who appears to be organisers of some sort of church things. If you have mobility problems it might be an issue as it’s a hill but manageable as I noticed to some participants in the group tour.

The hike up is fairly steep but the views of and from this small church are wonderful. It was unlocked but as of April 28, 2023, the priest position is vacant so it is unattended. Still, wonderful plaques and dedications abound to fill the visitor with a sense of devotion and gratitude that people given over to God’s kingdom may be sure it will reflect His glory to those who are blessed to come worship there.

We found the church quite by chance, we had arrived in Godshill before anything had opened so had a bit of an explore and we are so glad we did. You go up a steep hill, we chose the route going up past the thatched cottages which were so very pretty and we where glad we had the opportunity to see them to. We'd had a glimpse of the church peeking out behind the cottages and then we walked into the grounds, it is absolutely stunning, I am unsure of the age of the church or it history but it is so worth the climb to go and see if. Stunning church in a fabulous location. We came down back to the village via the stairs which gives you more views as you come back down. So glad the shops where closed or we might never have found this church.

Wonderful church fully open to the public which is becoming rarer these days without volunteers to man the building (our own is the same). Plenty of space for private prayer, ability to light a candle and lots of honesty boxes for visit donations, leaflets, publications on sale and so forth. Interesting plaques/memorials on the wall, plenty of signage and worth the hill/steps to enjoy the view from the top. Glad we managed to visit.

Well worth a visit. The ground alone are exceptionally calming.
Please be mindful the walk is a bit steep.

This is a very beautiful and peaceful church and it’s definitely worth the climb up. If like me your disabled Take it slow and steady there are plenty of safe spots to stop and recover before you continue up) I would recommend that anyone visiting the Isle of Wight visit Godshill
