Wallett's Court Country House Hotel, Dover

历史

Wallett's Court has a long history dating back to the Domesday Book of 1086. The Grade 2 listed hotel is brimming with historical features including carved oak pillars and beams dating from 1627, 14th Century fresco wall paintings in the upper corridor, a priest hole running down the side of the chimney in the restaurant, inglenook fireplaces in the bar and drawing room and a relic behind the bar most evenings.

There is also a Roman type well within the courtyard that drops 300 feet and today supplies the hotel with its own bottled water.

Royal connections with the nearby Dover Castle lend weight to claims that Queen Eleanor of Castille and her son Edward (who later became King) were in residence here. Before them Bishop Odo, the half brother of William the Conqueror was a notable resident. Later Lord Aylmer (Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports) and Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger used the manor as a country retreat.
