Mr Particular
What sort of value do England�s top luxury country house hotels offer? By the time you find out, it�s usually too late. Mr Particular will give you the low-down on the high-flown.

Until now it�s been hard to find an honest appraisal, because it�s a sad fact that most hotel write-ups are paid for, one way or another, by the hotel itself. Here, armed only with a pen, a palate, and an unwillingness to be bamboozled, Mr Particular provides unbiased and objective opinions on twenty of the country�s �finest� rural retreats. Happy to offer praise where it�s due, even more satisfied when pointing a righteous finger at the pretentious, the shoddy, and the overblown, these irreverent reviews tell the whole untainted truth. Make sure you read it before you spend your time and money in an expensive country house hotel.
