There are those who travel because they must - and dismal concrete boxes line the highways to house them on such travels. But if the object of your journey is unashamed pleasure, and moreover warm and joyous interaction with the British Isles, then pack Alastair Sawday in your glovebox. Ivy-covered cottages, gaunt remote castles, Highlands retreats you can access only by boat (with details how) - Sawday's Britain is a cheerful place on a human scale, magnificently devoid of Arndale Centres or multi-storey car-parks. The photography is inspiring, and the witty write-ups catch the individuality of each property. Thorough and practical maps, a glossary of saxon place-names, and 2-3 entirely spoof entries elevate this from a mere list of hotels ... Read More:

This is a great book full of top quality accomodation, well written and has never let me down. There are lots of websites on UK accomodation, I also suggest you check the Internet

London (Alastair Sawday's Special Places to Stay)

I read the introduction from Alastair Sawday's book and at once I knew this was the guide I needed. It's a funny, friendly, full of great tips. It's almost as if you are being recommended little known places and interesting tit bits on the city by a trusted friend. My boyfriend and I stayed at one of the hotels, it was one of very cheap ones, but we didn't want to pay much because we were going to a very expensive concert.
Anyway it was really good value, really central (Russell Sq) and had a very upbeat feel. Other places in the book look really homely, or very elegant and so we need to find another excuse to go up to London soon, so we can try some more out.

Recently we stayed in a number of establishments recommended through this guide; well done for producing such a great book! By the way we also use their guides to other regions of the world - excellent too.

Amongst those we stayed in we particularly enjoyed Hotel Le Domaine aux Quat'Saisons, Carcassonne [...]; a haven of exceptional good taste, comforts and style, not to mention the delicious food.

Europe Courses & Activities (Alastair Sawday's Special Places to Stay)

I'm a big fan of the Special Places series and have used its recommendations to good effect on many occasions, so this new title sounded really interesting. I imagined interesting activity centres and courses and summer schools all over Europe. That's not what I found though; the entries were more "here's a B&B that already appeared in one of our B&B guides, but the owner teaches flower arranging, or there's a golf course a couple of miles away "(!). In fact we returned the book as we didn't feel "it does what it says on the tin". Major respect for the other titles in the series, but this one didn't hit the same standard and felt (to me anyway) too much like a cut-and-paste job.

This book is the most useful book I have ever read - it allows you to see the 'real' Spain in a way that travel guides never will.

I will never travel again without a Sawday guide!

Guy Hunter-Watts has done a fantastic job - and is wonderfully descriptive and a pleasure to read. A Big Thank You!
