This review is from: The National Trust Guide to Historic Bed & Breakfasts, Inns and Small Hotels (National Trust Guide to Historic Bed and Breakfasts, Inns and Small Hotels) (Paperback)

The level of information is extremely high for all parts of the country and gives great information on the specifics of individual properties. Reviewed it at an inn in New Heaven and sent away for it immediately. I compared entries to actual experiences and found it exquisitely accurate.
