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
While we await the return of the once and future king, King Arthur is very much a presence at Sharon and Nigel Reed's Victorian former rectory, which they run as a hugely popular B&B. A suit of armour stands sentinel in the hall. There is a sense of space and largesse throughout. Every year, readers sing their praises. 'Nigel and Sharon provide five-star customer service, wonderful breakfasts and evening meals.' Rooms are 'luxurious and comfortable', with 'added touches such as home-made biscuits'. Dual-aspect Lamorak has a four-poster (king-size, naturally), views to Dartmoor and Bodmin Moor, while Kay has a single four-poster for a one-knight stay. Ground-floor, dog-friendly Pelleas has a wet room. Guests gather convivially for drinks before a dinner of local produce in the orangery or dining room. 'When 14 people are served a three-course meal and every plate is returned to the kitchen without a scrap left on it, that tells you all you need to know!' At breakfast there's fresh-baked bread, a full Cornish, locally smoked kipper, free-range eggs, Pendragon rarebit with Davidstow Cheddar. (Jane Knapp, Sally Crowley, Sandra Hart)
