The Good Hotel Guide is the leading independent guide to hotels in Great Britain & Ireland, and also covers parts of Continental Europe. The Guide was first published in 1978. It is written for the reader seeking impartial advice on finding a good place to stay. Hotels cannot buy their way into the Guide. The editors and inspectors do not accept free hospitality on their anonymous visits to hotels. All hotels in the Guide receive a free basic listing. A fee is charged for a full web entry.

Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
Beneath Slieve Foy mountain, stepping distance from the sea and within walled gardens, the Carroll family's Georgian house affords sea or mountain views at every turn. The hotel is filled with family photographs and heirlooms, fresh flowers and squashy sofas. Traditionally decorated bedrooms, sprinkled with antiques, have homemade biscuits to go with those views; most have a roll-top bath and a power shower in a modern bathroom. After a walk up the hills or along the seashore, return to a fire in the drawing room. In the elegant dining room, modern Irish dishes make the most of local produce, and Cooley mountain lamb and beef. At breakfast, there are homemade jams and marmalades.
