Frommer's Review

Standing in a woodland setting, this was once the private home of a prosperous Victorian family. One family owned the house for a century, but in 1996 it was converted to a small hotel, with many of the original architectural features intact. The public rooms are in the classically decorated main house, with the modish accommodations in a contemporary annex. Each bedroom comes with a sleek modern bathroom with shower. The hotel, even though small, offers a full restaurant menu with sophisticated and good-tasting dishes, including the likes of a filet of sea bass with a crab blini as well as a prawn and mussel ragout. Desserts are exceptional here, including toasted coconut mascarpone cheesecake with caramelized pineapple.

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.
