The AA Guides are usually trustworthy and this guide is no exception. Although it does not list the B&Bs in the bottom range of prices, the B&Bs it does list are good quality for the money. They meet very specific standards which most travelers to Great Britain from the USA expect. I like the fact that they include pictures and list the criteria I was looking for (child friendly, area attractions, non-smoking). I like, too, that if your experience at one of the listed B&Bs differ from their description, you can notify the AA and they will review the property again. Other guides do not do this.
