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
Dog friendly and wallet friendly, this country hotel in an 18th-century sporting lodge is now owned by Peter and Wendy Beddows, who had been customers for 14 years, and loved it so much they bought the business along with chef Adam Moore. The Beddows ensure all runs smoothly in the traditional bedrooms; a new self-catering suite has just been added. Guests sensitive to noise (an A road runs close by) should ring in advance to discuss best room options. Moore uses local produce to cook dishes such as local wild venison loin and fillet of trout with mussels; those with dietary requirements are well-looked after. They can arrange everything from riding to falconry, with dog-training for four-footed friends, and there is a micro spa on site.
