From our guide to Devon & Cornwall
Gill and Robert are so good at growing vegetables (organically) they supply the local restaurants; all is cut and delivered within three hours. They're pretty good at looking after you too...
Travel needn't be hurried and harried and far-flung: take a slow holiday nearby - and take the time to enjoy it. Because British landscapes and architecture are so diverse there is a huge choice. We've tramped all over Britain to find the finest places to stay, whether you prefer a swish London hotel or a cosy country inn. We've found interesting and friendly owners who will pamper you and feed you beautifully. We particularly like to celebrate owners who promote Slow Food and sustainability generally - and Britain is home to some of the most enlightened establishments in the world, whose owners share our commitment to authenticity, individuality and conservation.
