Independent country house hotel guide, Mr Particular, has relaunched as an online subscription-based service.

The “no-holds-barred” information on top hotels can now be obtained weekly, with access to previous reviews on the site.

The reviews, written by Jams O’Donnell, an anagram of the writer’s real name, investigate luxury hotels to see if they live up to their reputation and offer guests value for money.

Guidebook Mr Particular – Telling the Truth about Country House Hotels was originally launched in 2005.
