If you are looking for a place to stay that is a cut above the usual commercial hotels, then this is the guide for you. It is in roughly the same format as its sister publications, The Good Pub Guide and the Good Britain Guide (both of which I highly recommend). The description of each property tells you exactly what you need to know and in an amusing way - even how crisp the toast at breakfast is in some cases! The only downside to the book (and why it has not got five stars) is that most of the hotels included are a tad pricey, however the publishers have requested reports from guests at the lower end of the market, so hopefully future editions will include some bargains.
