An unbeatable selection of fascinating private homes all over Britain, with hosts chosen for their easy hospitality. Readers will stay in one and want to try them all. Whether they''re in wild places, moors, mountains, hamlets, or cities, each is exceptional. Choose from working farms, rectory or barn conversions, thatched cottages, smart townhouses, or castles-we''ve inspected them all. A passion for food bubbles on these pages: home-grown, organic, local, African, and Mediterranean--all delicious. Perceptive and honest write-ups, together with color photographs, include regional maps and precise directions.
