In its ninth year, the guide has high praise for those they consider Inishowen's finest. The Carlton Hotel is described as "in a world of its own". When describing Kealy's they said "If we did an award for sea food chowder, theirs would take the prize". Donal Doherty of Harry's Bar and Restaurant said their inclusion in the guide is "brilliant news, it's a great reward for all the hard work people put in at Harry's. Recognition in the Guide is all the more rewarding as it only includes the best of establishments which are hand-picked and tested anonymously. The first we knew about this was when a customer spotted it in the paper".

The Guide helps spread the word about some of the great things being done in the hospitality sector in Inishowen, locals and visitors alike can enjoy the rewards by following some the recommendations.
