2 out of 5 stars Guide fails to live up to its title   June 25, 2006
 16 out of 17 found this review helpful

Sadly this little guide can only justify one of the three claims in its title. Yes it will fit in the pocket, but no, its not good and only 33 of its 207 pages relate to the Motorway, the rest being facilities off A roads.
Various facilities are described, pubs, hotels, restraunts, parks, museums, garden centres, BUT not petrol stations - surely a major ommission. Rather vague directions are given to each and a phone number, but neither an address nor a post code are provided, little help to sat nav users. The print size is also too small for easy reading on the move.
Maps showing the location of each entry are provided at the end of the book but are so small in scale they are of little use.

I would suggest instead "Breaks near the Motorway" by Hugh Cantlie. This confines itself to eateries, but gives a clear map beside each entry and a post code. The guide is clearly laid out with road and junction numbers at the head of each page, 240 of its 300 pages being devoted to motorways.
