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 Jacobean 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. Bathrooms, though small, are neatly organized; half have tub/shower combinations, the rest showers only.

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