Accomodation
The Good Accommodation Guide – Types of Accommodation
There are many different types of accommodation contained within the Good Accommodation Guide.
In order to help you choose the accommodation that suits your needs, we have compiled their standard descriptions which are generally accepted throughout the UK and Ireland, covering hotels, guesthouses, townhouses, motels, travel accommodation, country houses, guest houses, bed and breakfasts, B&B’s, coaching inns, inns, farms, farmhouses, self catering cottages, chalets, flats, houses, apartments, villas, lodges, even houseboats.
In order to make the Good Accommodation Guide easy to use and navigate, our brochures and regional accommodation pages are colour co-ordinated to signify the various types of accommodation offered.
