Places guests have enjoyed:

	The Mill House, Somerset A beautiful 17th century Mill House in the west of England run by friends of ours. Highly recommended. [site]

	Old Black Lion, Hay on Wye Fantastic 300 year old inn with modern upscale menu in Hay on Wye, the eccentric secondhand book capital of the world. Beautiful countryside, a ruined castle, and hundreds of thousands of books, just over the Welsh border. [site] \| more about Hay-on-Wye [site]

	Barceloneta, Barcelona, Spain A spacious, 3 double bedroom, air-conditioned apartment. Five minutes by inexpensive taxi from the centre of Barcelona or a 10 minute walk to the newly modernised beach area. Owned by an affable Englishman the apartment sleeps up to 6 in total, with two bathrooms and a well-appointed kitchen. Highly recommended. [site]
	D'Chez Eux, Paris France is a rightly prized destination for any gastronomic adventurer. For those of a carnivorous bent D'Chez Eux is a 5 star experience in haute cuisine, from foie gras to its legendary frog's legs provençale. Your hostess never makes a trip to Paris without spending some time chez eux... [site]
	The Spaniards Inn, Hampstead Nestling about halfway between Hampstead and Highgate at the top of Hampstead Heath, this 400 year old inn is a historical highpoint in London's pub culture. Famously popular with literary figures such as Keats and Wordsworth, the pub now plays host to all comers, and is particularly great as a stop after a walk on the Heath or a visit to Kenwood House nearby. The icelandic cod and chips is a wonder and the large garden is great in summer. Spaniards Road London NW3 7JJ tel: 020 8731 6571 / map
