Guides

From the wonderfully rustic to the wildly luxurious, from The Highlands to St Ives, we've taken the hard work out of finding Britain's loveliest hotels. Each hotel combines character with comfort and a great welcome. A weekend break in a historic city, a night away on business, a family holiday by the sea - there's something for everyone here.

We are committed to the small hotels of Britain, run by enterprising people. We look for what we like; we celebrate the beautiful and the unusual. The winning combination of fresh honest write-ups, colourful photographs, clear symbols, excellent maps, clear directions and quick reference indices is what makes our guides so popular.
