Publisher's Synopsis
As ever, a hand-picked collection of Special Places to Stay - all with gorgeous gardens to discover. You can stay on the remote Isle of Gigha where the owner grows rare tropical orchids; take a course with a Chelsea Gold Medal winner in a secluded valley garden in Wales; discover a pretty plot planted to excite the wildlife - and the senses - in Somerset. Owners' gardening tips are listed too, and their ideas for visits to special woodlands, gardens and arboretums close by. This beautifully illustrated book contains over 90 B&Bs, self-catering cottages and hotels - an unusual and diverse spread of places to stay. All are visited by us, and chosen because we like them; the owners are valued for their hospitality as much as their green-fingers, and the gardens for their character and setting. There's good value too: a third have double rooms at GBP70 or under a night.
