Product Description

Review
"Alastair Sawday, the man behind 'Special Places to Stay', the hotel bible" Independent on Sunday "AS's series of hotel guides aren't really guides at all' written from an entirely personal perspective, the narrative is so engaging that you can happily read them from cover to cover." Easy Living "There's green and there's green. And then there's independent travel publisher ASP. Recently it received an award from Business Commitment to the Environment for its 'green' credentials - and no wonder. Publishing News

Product Description
The south west and Devon and Cornwall in particular provides so many of our Special Places that we have yielded to ‘popular request’ and are publishing a new guide to the area. It will include 175 of our Special Places – pubs, self-catering houses, hotels and B&Bs – plus a couple of pages on each area revealing our and our owners’ favourite walks, beaches, places to eat and play and things to do on rainy days – something for all budgets and tastes.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Glorious South West, 7 Oct 2008
Having grown up in Cornwall I thought I knew the southwest inside out, but thanks to Alastair Sawday and his intrepid team I have discovered corners of this ancient part of our country I never knew existed. And more, wonderful people in glorious houses who offer the sort of hospitality and accommodation that kicks the corporate kind into the distance. The pubs and Inns section also leads one to more charming hosteleries to quaff and chat before tucking into delicious food. Wish I'd found these guides years ago, Italy with Sawday next!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sawday's Special Places to Stay: Devon and Cornwall, 27 Mar 2008
Special places to stay - a bold statement, delivered in spades by the latest in the consistently excellent Sawday guides. 170 plus places - B&Bs, hotels, inns, some self-catering - each independently inspected by the Sawday team and special in some way.

I like this book. It oozes quality. As well as the collection of hugely tempting places to stay, it offers suggestions for local walks and days out with the kids, restaurants, pubs, and cream teas (of course). It helpfully lists places with good wheelchair and wifi access. It also notes those within 2 miles of the National Cycle Network - the ideal book for pocket, glovebox or saddlebag.

Sawday guides have always come up trumps for us whether in the UK or further afield. We've stayed in some wonderful places courtesy of the guides - some beautiful, some quirky, all special. This book is a cracker.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't leave home without it!, 18 Mar 2008
Like all the other Alistair Sawday books I have, this one really doesn't disappoint, and I love the fact that it is pocket sized. I think "mini guides" like this for an area are perfect. If you are like me - love Devon / Cornwall and enjoy a mixture of B&B, Luxury Hotel and self catering houses - then this is the perfect companion.
In my opinion it really has the best that this beautiful area of England can offer...in fact, having only got this book a few days ago, we have already used it and booked our next holiday.
If you are thinking of buying this book I would really recommend that you take advantage of one of the Amazon offers and buy a couple of these guides together...I guarantee that Alistair Sawday will have the perfect get away for you.

Overall: 5 Star - buy it and as soon as the postman puts it through the letterbox your book will be full of bookmarks of all the "I really must stay there" places.
