ALASTAIR SAWDAY'S SPECIAL PLACES TO STAY SERIES has built up a loyal readership with over 1 million books sold since the series began in 1994. We take huge pleasure in finding people and places that do their own thing—places that are unusual and follow no trends. We visit every place in our guides and celebrate those that value their community, the environment and use local or organic food.• All the places in the guides are inspected and described in a typically honest and vivid write-up• Each guide has color photographs plus regional maps, precise directions, and helpful hints• Clear symbols and quick reference indices also help readers with their choices
