Book Description

September 29, 2001 Unofficial Guides
The Unofficial Guides are the "Consumer Reports" of travel guides, offering candid evaluations of their destinations' attractions, hotels, restaurants, shopping, nightlife, sports, and more, all rated and ranked by a team of unbiased inspectors so even the most compulsive planners can be sure they're spending their time and money wisely. Each guide addresses the needs of everyone from families to business travelers, with handy charts that demonstrate how each place stacks up against the competition. Plus, all the details are pulled out so they're extremely easy to scan.

The Unofficial Guide to Bed & Breakfasts in New England is a refreshingly candid new voice on the B&B scene. Unlike other guides that praise every inn as charming and cozy, the Unofficial Guides team of inspectors criss-cross the region and select the very best inns and B&Bs, offering truly comparative descriptions and rating each selection for value and quality of rooms. Includes a photo insert of our top-rated inns and lovely illustrations of 35 properties.

Five Reasons Why This Is the Best B&B Series You Can Buy: Complete Coverage:

  1. Only the Unofficial Guides profile and evaluate 300 top inns and B&Bs in all price categories, from budget to deluxe, and include a directory of over 250 other great places to stay.
  2. Critical Evaluations: Only the Unofficial Guides rank and rate each B&B (other B&B guides read like promotional brochures).
  3. Personal Inspections: Each B&B is personally inspected by independent travel professionals (most other B&B guides are written by the innkeepers themselves).
  4. Honest Selection Process: Each B&B has been chosen on its own merits; no fees are accepted (most other B&B guides charge innkeepers to be included).
  5. Ideal for Families & Pet Lovers: Only the Unofficial Guides identify pet- and kid-friendly places, and recommend the best rooms.

First Sentence:
Maine is the first state to greet each day as the sun touches the summit of Cadillac Mountain in Acadia, and it reaches farthest into the icy Atlantic, inviting crystal waters into hundreds of bays, harbors, inlets and coves, with 33,000 square miles, 6,000 lakes, and 240 miles of dipping, curving Atlantic coastline, twisting and turning to equal 3,000 miles of oceanfront. Read the first page
