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
The third-generation owners of this turreted Edwardian mansion in countryside outside St Andrew's take evident pride in their legacy. A wide choice of accommodation includes two turret rooms, one with balcony; dogs and children are welcome. Guests are urged to explore the kitchen gardens, which supply produce for chef Scott Cameron's inventive dishes in the contemporary restaurant – for example, roasted guinea fowl, cannelloni of leg, leek, garlic, onion. At breakfast there are eggs from the hens and honey from the hives. Self-catering shepherds' huts are new, and 2024 will see the opening of a farm shop to celebrate the centenary of the wonderful gardens.
