It is written for the reader seeking impartial advice on finding a good place to stay. Hotels cannot buy their way into the Guide.

Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
Standing at a road junction but with open moorland right by it, this whitewashed pub and restaurant is owned and run by a local family. Step inside to find oak beams, slate floors, a log burner, and locally sourced food in cosy dining rooms. Creative menus feature dishes such as scallops, almonds, red peppers, chorizo, romesco; cod, spiced aubergine, piperade, tempura courgette, pesto; or butternut squash, cauliflower tempura, curry broth, puffed rice. Bedrooms are traditional, and all have a fridge with fresh milk. Spacious Brentor, painted restful blue-grey, has a French-style king-size bed. The lounge has deep leather sofas, books, board games, and endearing mementoes of one of the owner's father, who ‘famously’ won the 1956 Tulip Rally in his Austin A30.
