Anyone who has ever enjoyed growing something, whether it be a small pot plant or a row of peas, can call themselves a garden lover. In these places, you will meet owners with hugely different gardens: some will be finished masterpieces, others will be works in progress, but all will be talking points. Now in its fifth edition this much-loved guide has over 100 delightful places to stay with fascinating gardens; from grand estates to small town plots, all over the country. Clear symbols let you know where children, and dogs, are welcome, and where there is disabled access. Each entry is thoroughly researched and inspected and quick reference indices show for example, where you are welcome to linger all day, where there are plants for sale, or where home-grown vegetables are on offer.
New to this edition is our 'Ethical Collection', made up of owners who go the extra mile to make sure their business has a positive impact. Members of the Collection are awarded stamps, marked on their entry page, for their commitment to the community, the environment and to providing locally sourced or organic food.
Also new to the guide is the Travel Club symbol; it marks places offering extras and discounts to Sawday's Travel Club members. Membership costs only £25 a year and can save up to 20% off room prices, get you a complimentary bottle of wine, fresh fruit from the garden or a jar of homemade jelly. Go on, treat yourself!
