A glittering collection of B&Bs, from boutique boltholes to quaint cottages, city apartments to hidden farmhouses and there are follies, castles and old rectories galore. New to this edition is a super chic beach retreat on the Lizard with a cabin in the garden just for two - your very own love shack. Devilled kidneys and kedgeree are found at a wonderful B&B dripping in Victoriana in genteel St Leonard's on Sea.
We inspect them all and include only those that we like, and then tell you exactly what they are like with honest, vivid write-ups. You won't find turgid descriptions of 'tea-and-coffee-making facilities', instead you'll get the feel of the place – and the hosts, too.
In our 14th edition over 350 owners have signed up to the Sawday's Travel Club - if you join you'll be eligible for such delights as cream tea on arrival, 10% off your stay or a free lift to and from the local pub! Around 100 people in this guide are part of our Ethical Collection - these folk have demonstrated a commitment to the environment or their community or serve locally-sourced and/or organic food.
