Updated from first-hand reports by a large network of correspondents as well as anonymous inspections, this is a guide for anyone, from the seasoned business traveller to the independently-minded holidaymaker, seeking a place to stay in either Britain or Western Europe. It concentrates on hotels of personal character, where a warm welcome, a good table and above all an awareness of guests' needs have priority, with all entries backed up by descriptions and details of price, location and facilities.
