These are the places to stay that we ourselves would choose to return to on holiday. Things we like: natural, unstuffy, humorous hosts, gardens, good food, untouristy places, dirt roads, the lived-in look, the artistic, the unusual, big baths, open fires, real coffee, freshly-squeezed orange juice. We like owner-managed places where the hosts are doing their own thing and treat their guests like fellow human beings. Things we don't like: swirly, frilly, lacy decor, conference centres, identikit bedrooms, chain hotels, hosts who disappear irretrievably after your arrival... or never leave you alone; the smelly, the murky, the over-priced; fake smiles, hatchet faces and steely eyes! Stick to the Greenwood trail and make each place you stay a major part of your holiday, not just a staging post between destinations.
