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
A return to the Guide for this honeyed-stone village pub, which had a lockdown makeover under enthusiastic new owners. Bedrooms have good fabrics, a Roberts radio, 100 Acres toiletries, views over gently rolling countryside. Coach-house rooms are dog friendly. In the teal, flagstone-floored bar and restaurant, pub classics sit alongside dishes such as glazed pork cheeks (from free-range Story Pig farm nearby) with white onion cream, crispy onions, crackling and sweetheart cabbage. Vegetables arrive by wheelbarrow courtesy of a local grower. Apex beers are from the microbrewery behind. There are steak, fish and fire nights, and fresh-baked croissants at breakfast, with a small charge for cooked items.
