Frommer's Review

Surrounded by fields and gardens in a tiny hamlet 2.5km (1 1/2 miles) east of Dover, this is our preferred stopover in the area. Rebuilt in the Tudor style in the 1400s, it rests on a foundation dated from the time of the Norman Conquest of England. In 1975, the property was in seriously dilapidated condition until members of the Oakley family bought and restored it. The setting, near cliff tops overlooking the English Channel, is savored by bird-watchers and hill climbers. Each carefully restored bedroom features a different decorative theme, with the more expensive ones containing four-poster beds. Some lie within a barn that was comfortably converted into living quarters. Richly accessorized, each has a vivid Edwardian country-house motif and lots of mementos.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; indoor heated pool; outdoor tennis court; health club; spa; room service; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
