At last! Sawday’s releases un guide nouveau for the autumn and it’s sure to be a corker – Special Places to Stay: French Vineyards. This guide will prove irresistible to wine-loving Francophiles and anyone else who fancies lazy days sauntering around La Belle France, quaffing, learning, meeting interesting owners with tales to tell, eating fine food in convivial company and then staying over. There are gîtes, châteaux and B&Bs on wine producing estates throughout the country and all have been inspected and found to be just right. So rev up the old deux chevaux (making sure there’s room for a few crates), don your best, battered, straw hat and prepare to meander.

British Hotels & Inns (edition 11)

• Publication date: 21 September 2009
• £14.99

What’s your idea of the perfect British escape? Perhaps a deep country-bound inn with a cluster of locals hugging the bar and a creaky four-poster to clamber onto, or a slick country house hotel with just the right amount of off-beat charm and exceptional service. Or maybe a seaside restaurant with rooms that serves the most delectable fish is more appealing. You’ll find them all in the latest edition of Sawday’s British Hotels & Inns.
