McMinnies, this popular handbook offered motorists an essential companion for their journeys, promising not only comfortable beds and delicious refreshments but also dancing, swimming, and possibly a cocktail or two. The cover image, with its idyllic rural setting, invites the viewer to imagine a relaxing break from the hustle and bustle of city life. The Signpost was more than just a guide to accommodation; it was a window into a bygone era of British touring.

For those seeking adventure, the guide also offered suggestions for hiking and cycling routes, ensuring that every type of traveler could find something to suit their interests.
