I hope they have a 2001 edition coming!

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago

We used this book in Spring 2000 and found the small inns and B & Bs recommended to be some of the best we've stayed at in our 3 trips to Great Britain. Clean, professional, with attentive, friendly proprietors. I can't comment on the single experience of the previous review. Unfortunately, as the authors themselves assert, this has a limited shelf life--B & Bs change hands, people retire, whatever, so after another year or so this 2000 edition will be a lot less accurate than a travel guide!

Wouldn't go to England without it!

I have relied on this book ever since I discovered it in a bookstore in Heathrow Airport; I've completely worn out the 13th edition. I have never had anything but wonderful experiences with the recommended B & Bs and, in fact, have returned to several of them again and again. I recommend the book highly for anyone wanting to travel in the U.K. reasonably and comfortably!
