An irresistible collection of very special houses in Britain (and a few in France, Italy, and Ireland too), with gardens to match. Here are gardens of every description: modest, grandiose, old English, contemporary, French, Italianate, wild, tamed, watery, bosky, topiary-filled and rosy--all illustrated in full-color. The houses and hosts are as lovely as the gardens--selected because their owners enjoy people as much as plants.

British Bed & Breakfast (SPECIAL PLACES TO STAY)

Alastair Sawday's Special Places to Stay Ireland

This popular guide has delightful places to stay with fascinating gardens; from grand estates to small town plots, all over the country. 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. Our owners are experts on their own gardens of course, but they can often organize private visits to other gardens, direct you to good local nurseries and give you the low-down on which public gardens to visit nearby.
