Country House Hotels of Britain and Ireland

This guide provides information on selected accommodation based on personal knowledge or recommendation. It includes manor houses, coaching inns, lodges, country complexes and private homes and considers their respective comfort, cuisine, character and value for money. The author stresses that the private homes which are members of a consortium known as Wolsey Lodge do not provide room service, laundry and restaurant choice but they are very unlike regular "bed and breakfast" accommodation.
