Special places to stay in Britain for garden lovers - Nicola Crosse

A hand-picked collection Special Places to Stay - all with fabulous gardens for you to explore. Stay on the remote Isle of Gigha where the owner grows rare tropical orchids; take a course with Chelsea Gold Medal winner or pop next door to the National Botanic Garden Wales after a night on an organic farm. There are 90 places in all; B&Bs, self-catering cottages and hotels - our most diverse collection of gardens to date. You'll find great value too with over a third with double rooms for 70 or less a night. All are visited by us and chosen because we like them- hosts are valued for their hospitality as much as their green-fingers and places for their character and setting.
