Estimates vary as to how many hotels there are in Britain, but whichever number you take runs into the tens of thousands.
Of these just 50 are allowed to call themselves members of Pride of Britain.
It is the hoteliers themselves who own the consortium and they have the last word on who can join, so it isn’t easy to gain admission.
That is why you can feel confident, whenever you book to stay at a Pride of Britain member property, that it will be one of the best independent hotels in the country where great hospitality comes as standard.
