1.0 out of 5 stars Pick another one..., 26 Aug 2008

By	Nir Kuner - See all my reviews

1. No accurate address and post code of sites.
2. Phone numbers of sites are without prefix, if you're not local you will never know how to call them.
3. Importent sites are missing (even when there is a review of the area, somethimes it just doesn't direct you where to go).
4. Cheap editing, the editor wanted the earn few extra pence and gathered the pictures into groups of pages. The outcome - you can read about a place and then try to find a picture somewhere in the book, if there is one (instead of having the picture next to the site description). I wouldn't mind to pay an extra pound in order to see where I'm going...

Luckily, I have found few nice places online and the most importene thing - the Welsh have very good information centres accross the country with loads of leaflets and guides.

1.0 out of 5 stars Too many personal comments, 12 Sep 2009

By	Gloria from Tuscany "Gloria from Tuscany" (Tuscany, Italy) - See all my reviews

I specifically looked for this guidebook, because the Lonely Planet books are generally quite good, although not my favourite series. This, however, is really bad. It is more a personal travel journal than a serious guidebook giving factual information and it is absolutely not suitable if you have your own means of transport, as it is totally geared towards people travelling by public transportation.

What I found most annoying is that most places are described as dull, or of no interest (what's the point of including them in the guide then?!) and there are supposedly "funny" comments such as "Hello. My name is Newport and I'm a bit of a dump" (p.106). And the paragraph goes on like that to say that now the situation has improved... Besides finding similar comments often inappropriate, I don't care what the author likes or dislikes: I want to be able to judge by myself, especially because we figured out right away that the places the authors recommended the most were the ones we liked the least.

Very commercial places are praised, whereas more beautiful off-the-beaten-path places are not included or not recommended if mentioned.

I found this guidebook incredibly bad and I have the feeling that it's mostly because the travelling style of the authors is really different from ours. Still, I had never come across such an opinionated travel writing in a guidebook. Save the money and try some other guidebook.

3.0 out of 5 stars Could do better, 6 Jul 2009

By	T. Bently "tbently" (Berkshire, England) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

It's sad that neither of the two editors of this guide are Welsh, a fact which may help explain the niggling errors which have crept into this part of the usually excellent travel series. I'm from Newport (which isn't in Gwent!)and found two silly slip-ups in less than a minute.

I like the tell-it-how-it-is attitude displayed in the text, and perhaps a future edition will tidy up the errors in what would otherwise be a five-star book.
