5.0 out of 5 stars Your Companion in Wales, 19 Sep 2006

By	Mrs. Avril W. Ashworth "wendyash" (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Rough Guide to Wales (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)

This is probably the best Rough Guide I've ever used and there have been many!

It really is all you need to find your way round this dazzling country,at least for a first visit.
Wales is surely a land of contrasts but if you make this guide your companion there should be few surprises.
As ever it is very strong on arrival,accommodation and restaurants although we did experience an unpleasant restaurant in Conwy it was for the most part extremely reliable.

The maps of town centres are invaluable and make sure you find time to read the history section before you go.

We spent a week in St Davids and a week in the Conwy valley this month and referred to this book constantly. For example it suggests you visit Bodnant Garden in late aftenoon to get the benefit of the setting sun. That tip alone is worth the price of the book.
Thank you Rough Guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very honest view of both a beautiful and deprived country., 27 Nov 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Rough Guide to Wales (Paperback)

Some parts of Wales are simply breath-taking and beautiful. The 'Land of my Fathers'. Yet Wales has been one of the poorest regions of Europe on and off for years. This book combines these opposing qualities with a truely honest account of homely, down-to-earth hospitality with scenery to kill for! Whichever town or village you decide to visit, Rough Guide to Wales is your key to a great visit!

3.0 out of 5 stars A Little Disappointing, 7 Nov 2008

By	Greg Scowen (Z�rich, Switzerland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Rough Guide to Wales (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)

We have now used Rough Guides to travel extensively to many countries, and have typically found there to be no better guide. Unfortunately, the Rough Guide to Wales seems to let the series down a little.

We are fans of getting off the beaten track, and we certainly did that when following this guide. However, some of the destinations we went out of way too (often by hours) just weren't all that the guide left us expecting. Often we would arrive at a muddy field with a mediocre attraction, having expected a spectacular view or ancient monument. We also failed to stay in any accommodation mentioned in the guide, but this was due to lack of availability, albeit out of season. It seems many places in Wales won't accept one-night stays. Forewarning of this would be beneficial.

Typical of Rough Guides, though, the restaurant reviews, and a couple of mentioned attractions were worth visiting. The guide appears to be written by an older person that is particularly keen on the inside of churches, and may not appeal so much to people looking for something a bit more adventurous. For us, this was fine... as history is what draws us on our travels.

In summary, my suggestion to Rough Guide to Wales readers is to not get your hopes up too high based on the guide alone. Wales is a pretty country, and has some interesting corners, but if you have been spoiled with travel in the Swiss Mountains or along beaches in New Zealand... you may be inclined to expect more than Wales has to offer.

But buy the book. We didn't find a better one. And visit Wales... everyone should go there once.
