THREE local hotels have been named among the top hostelries in Great Britain and Ireland.

Celebrity chef Raymond Blanc's Michelin-starred Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, in Great Milton, and the Randolph and Malmaison hotels in Oxford, are among 300 featured in the Best Hotels - Great Britain & Ireland book, which was published on Monday.

Customers judged the hotels on cleanliness, family friendliness and also the standard of dining.
