More Info

For the budget traveler, this is the guide for you!

I may not be a college student, but I sure made use of every penny while visiting the United Kingdom. I stayed at many of the Bed & Breakfasts mentioned in the book and even met the home owner mentioned in one B&B review where I stayed in Dublin. I found this book to be accurate in it's descriptions and it fit what I was looking for in a guide book. How to see the most for my travel dollar. I saw it all and saved a bunch. Saved so much I bought the Berkely Guide for France while I was in London and continued my adventures!

Don't count on too much Irish info

If you will be traveling in Britain -- this guide's for you. That is if you are college aged and want to hang out with a lot of other people like you (tourists). It's not really off the beaten path, but it is cheap and reliable. However, if you are traveling extensively in Ireland, this book is a big old waste of money. The Ireland section is small. You'd be much better with the Let's Go Ireland book, which consentrates on the Emerald Isle (both North Ireland & the Republic), but also includes a guide to London.
