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.

Artist Residence Cornwall
Penzance, Cornwall
A hip, youthful vibe permeates this quirky hotel and local hangout above the harbour, with beach-shack chic bedrooms, café, cocktail bar and curated art collection.
Good Hotel Guide Review
The hotel experts at the Good Hotel Guide
A short uphill walk from the harbour, this revitalised Georgian coach house brims with a sense of stylish fun. Set across three floors, beach-shack chic bedrooms (some snug; some to suit an accompanying dog or a family) are styled with bright artworks and vintage pieces. Downstairs, eating, drinking and merry-making take place in the informal bar and restaurant with its wood-burner, retro sofas and reclaimed furniture. Menus feature Cornish produce, and meat and fish from the on-site smokehouse. In summer, a Seafood Shack is set up in the sunny garden. Part of Justin and Charlotte Salisbury's eclectic hotel collection (see main entries for Artist Residence in London, Brighton and Oxfordshire, and Shortlist entry for Bristol).
