The Greenwood Guides feature small, owner-managed places to stay across the whole of each country covered. Each place has been personally visited by the authors, and chosen for its particular charm and character, and for the exceptional friendliness of the owners. Our approach is always to emphasize the atmosphere and how much fun it is to stay there rather than to merely list the facilities offered. We feature B&B's, guest houses, wilderness lodges, townhouses and even boat and lighthouses. All information is included at all ends of the price spectrum.

Deciding where to stay on a three week trip across Canada was a daunting prospect. Ontario alone is four times the size of England, and finding unusual, beautiful places to stay could have been like finding the proverbial needle in a very large haystack. That was until I stumbled across this gem of a guide amidst the ranks of its better known bedfellows Lonely Planet et al. And what a find.
The ethos of the Greenwood guides is to find truly wonderful places to stay, places that will transform your trip and have you returning again and again. Every place has been personally visited by their clearly dedicated team, and not once did I feel that I could have made a better choice. From my B&B in Toronto, to my lighthouse in Novia Scotia and my houseboat in British Columbia, I felt pampered, revived and thoroughly spoilt. This is a book for the more independent, adventurous traveller; don't expect chain hotels and anonymity. Rather you will find real people, delicious food and places miles down dirt tracks that you would never have found by yourself. An essential appendage to anyone holidaying in Canada who is after the unusual, the artistic and the downright fantastic.

I live in Canada and was elated to find this very honest book of some outstanding places of quality for me to discover. As I often travel for business, I do not have time to explore the calibre of a place - nor do I want to risk a lousy night. This helps me to know the standards of a place, and guarantees a unique experience at minimum. WOW!
