We hope this book is a trumpet blast for all that is best about Britain. There are many near-perfect mixes of magical architecture, enviable gardens, handsome furniture, beautiful art, wonderfully comfortable beds and bathrooms to rave about. Good taste, generosity and kindness excite us, whether in our castles, cottages, farmhouses, townhouses or bungalows. We take you to the moors, the dales, the coast, the wolds, the mountains and the lakes and link you with the people that live there. They, i..n turn, can take you deeper into their bit of Britain -- the bits that only the locals know. We're keen to have more town and city places on board too - recommendations are always welcome.
