The 2008 Great Britain & Ireland Guide
Welcome to The Good Hotel's new website. Please send us feedback on how it can be improved. We seem to be doing something right because the Times has just selected The Good Hotel Guide as one of its top 10 guide books alongside Lonely Planet and the Rough Guides. We are the only hotel guide in the list. The paper's travel editor, Kathleen Wyatt praises our "independent reviews guided by readers." She also singles out the fact that each copy of the Guide contains £150 worth of discount vouchers. http://tinyurl.com/6xnxd6< /a> You might also want to have a look at an article in The Times which discusses the merits of the GHG's new website versus web alternatives such as TripAdvisor.http://tinyurl.com/5gkewh< /a>
The 2008 edition of the Guide covers 850 hotels. More than 80 are new and a similar number has been dropped. Please don't rely on an old edition because hotels and their standards can change very fast. Readers' reports on their hotel experiences are the life blood of the Guide. Please keep writing about all the places you visit. Just a few lines by email or on a post card will help us sustain the Guide's reputation. The best 12 reports will win a copy of the next edition of the Guide and an invitation to our launch party.

Media Review: The Sunday Times
"We don't all want fiddly taps and flatscreens. Sometimes other things are important--like service and good food, and a room that doesn't cost several hundred pounds for the night. Cue The Good Hotel Guide. It focuses entirely on the smaller, independent, family-run properties in Britain and Ireland and is doing so bangs the drum for a style of hotel-keeping that ultimately has far more value than the latest design concept."
