Format:Paperback
After using this book both before and during a recent holiday to Devon and Cornwall, I'd rate it as 'good but floored'. The book provides broad coverage/content of both counties which is good for getting an overall feel for the region/targeting areas you want to visit. Where it falls over however is in providing the type of details you'd like at your finger tips when you are actually in an area, the major gripe being lack of decent maps. The other major criticism is the rather negative style the author adopts - my wife made the comment 'does the author actually like Devon and Cornwall' after reading the book ! When guide books are supposed to inspire, this is pretty damning stuff. Rough Guides have clearly spent a lot of time doing their research (the detail on accommodation, restaurants etc is good) - sort out the lack of decent maps and the 'negative attitude' and this book would get 4-5 stars.

Useful guide 4 Nov 2010
By CCBB
Format:Paperback
For the UK, I think the Rough Guides are the best available.
However, I agree with the previous reviewer that the author is really super negative about the cities/ villages in Devon and Cornwall, usually starting his descriptions with "yet another unremarkable town".
The author's highlight seems to be when talking about clay & china.
I would normally give it 5 stars for the maps, restaurant tips ... all the things which make the Rough Guide excellent but this time, it's only 3 - with a push.

The book covers what I expected. It has a lot of useful and interesting information for planning and enjoying a holiday - par for the course with most Rough Guides. As always more detail, eg of recommended eating places etc would have been good, but you can't have everything.
