Britain's most stylish boutique hotel guidebook is back

This Christmas, boutique hotel experts Mr & Mrs Smith return with their eagerly anticipated second UK/ Ireland guidebook.

Having always promised that the follow-up to the original UK/Ireland collection wouldn’t simply be an update, this is its extra-special successor: a hand-picked selection of stylish and sexy hotels for a naughty weekend away.

As well as evocative images and entertaining reviews to whet your appetite for these hip hideaways, there are insider destination guides revealing what to get up while you’re away. What to do if you have the kids in tow on a supposedly romantic escape? How eco are some retreats? What’s the latest you can check out? It’s all in there – and much, much more. From Michelin-starred menus to pints in the world’s smallest pub, and the most exciting local activities, be it best-of-British wine-tasting to bat-spotting by moonlight, Smith’s signature in-the-know editorial signposts you to right address every time.

As ever, you’ll be following in the footsteps of leading lights from fashion, music and the media, including designer, Roland Mouret and Agent Provocateur’s Serena Rees. And you’ll even have gifts awaiting you thanks to your own personal Smithcard. Featured in every book, it enables readers to join an exclusive club that entitles members to gifts and discounts at properties featured in the entire 300-strong international Smith hotel collection. Bon voyage? Oh yes.

So next time you’re planning an escape, get yourself in the mood by lying back with your copy of Mr & Mrs Smith, and think of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales - then make your wildest weekend fantasies come true.
