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.

Talbooth House & Spa
Dedham, Essex 12.17 miles
The Milsom family's Victorian country house hotel in Dedham Vale, in the heart of Constable country, has been subtly rebranded with the addition of a spa by the pool house.
The Angel Inn
Suffolk, 12.36 miles
'It's fearsomely expensive but for a treat you're in safe hands' at this Tudor inn, now a restaurant-with-rooms 'in the idyllic landscape of the Stour valley'.
Dedham Hall
Colchester, Essex 12.78 miles
In deepest Constable country, Wendy and Jim Sarton's characterful timber-frame manor house specialises in residential art courses; there is a large studio in the ground for workshops from tutors in various mediums. But even if you're not interested in taking a course, it's a great place for an 'extremely relaxing weekend'.
Hedingham Castle
Essex 14.41 miles
With just one guest bedroom – or Royal Chamber – at the top of a Norman castle keep, this is surely the most romantic B&B in the Guide, and a memorable wedding-night retreat.
The Swan at Lavenham Hotel & Spa
Lavenham, Suffolk 19.72 miles
Occupying three 15th-century buildings in this picture-postcard wool town, the Swan blends modern comforts with original features in a wide choice of bedrooms, simple and adventurous cooking in the brasserie and lofty Gallery.
