Description

This trusted guide is now in its eigth edition. All of the places are inspected and are good value, whether remote and simple or wrapped in luxury. The selection will provide plenty of inspiration for a weekend away, a family holiday and even a business trip. There is a smugglers’ inn, a cliff-top castle, a 16th-century priory, a 21st-century, French-inspired local, a 1735 mansion on the River Wye, a Palladian masterpiece (where James Bond played Goldfinger at golf) and one of the best hotels in the country for walking, set in 38 acres of blissful Dartmoor silence.
Over 250 places are listed, from the thoroughly traditional to state-of-the-art "boutique", including 50 new entries, including a Mediterranean-style beach cafe in Torcross, a converted motel on Camber Sands and a Michelin-starred pub in Rutland. We also celebrate the imaginative and hard work of many of our owners to reduce their impact on the planet by highlighting 6 places with particularly good green credentials with a double page spread.
Our fresh and lively write-ups, 500 full-colour photographs, clear symbols, excellent maps, clear directions and quick reference indices paint an accurate picture of all places to help you to discover the place that is best for you.
"If you want a weekend away and need advice on a special place to stay then AS’s guides are exactly what you need."

Wittily presented, the emphasis is on people and experiences, rather than facilities and furnishings, with Sawday once again showing great flair for identifying the cosy corners we’d all love to curl up in for an autumnal getaway.
