So we got a bit freaked out when we read the headline at the UK Times about the top ten British hotels for 2009 -- we kinda thought 2008 only just started -- but now that we've calmed down, the list of ten independent hotels worth staying at, as picked by the Good Hotel Guide, is an interesting one.
Out of the ten hotels on the list, there are a few that sound especially interesting. The Star Castle Hotel on the Isles of Scilly (off the south-west corner of Britain) got us interested from the location alone--if you're lucky with the weather, this place sounds like the closest you can get to a tropical beach resort in Britain. Double rooms including two meals start from £144 (US$250) but it's also important to know that the Times reviewer complained about the dessert!
In Hampshire, the Hotel Terravina hit the top ten as the best newcomer. Beyond-the-call service seemed to be the main factor here, as well as being in a pretty spot in the New Forest. It's a little pricier at from £195 (US$345).
And the last of our picks is the Great House in Lavenham, Suffolk which is more of a restaurant with accommodation added on, but it's good accommodation. The Times reviewer decided this room was the best of all the ten hotels on the list, and since the restaurant is also excellent, it's a great all-round package. Extra bonus: it's cheaper than the rest at just £85 (US$150).
