The Good Hotel Guide |
| The Good Hotel Guide, first published 32 years ago, is totally independent. It receives no payments, hospitality or advertising from Inns selected for an entry in the printed Guide. Inns pay to be on the Guide's website but only those Inns who have an entry in the printed Guide are invited to appear. Some of our selected Inns also buy copies of the printed Guide from us. Inns are recommended by readers, backed up where necessary by an anonymous professional inspection. |
