Alastair Sawday at Travel Universe

Alastair Sawday

Sawday's have designed their guides to be THE guides for those looking for:

Warm, very human, interesting people
Beautiful buildings, original style, elegant simplicity
Fine old things that, however dilapidated, carry their age and authenticity with dignity
Delicious food, much of it grown at home and cooked with devotion
A touch of fun with a touch of class. Quirkiness with seriousness, a light touch, an easy style
Honest writing with a dash of panache
Comfort – yes, but not at the expense of everything else.

They cherish their relationships with owners and readers; the notion of 'special' is at the heart of what they do.

They take huge pleasure from finding people and places that do their own thing - brilliantly, places that are unusual and follow no trends, places of peace and beauty, people who are kind and interesting - and genuine.
