    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some you would have to pay me to stay in!

    Bed in a Tree by Bettina Kowalewski ISBN 978-1-4053-3497-6 I bought this unusual book through a charity auction on another website. I have had a couple of other books along these lines and enjoyed planning a stay somewhere different and so I thought this would be a good one to add to our collection.

    Advantages Advantages Lovely illustrations; unusual ideas; range of prices

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some are pretty far flung so not useful to all travellers

    Bettina Kowalewski’s “Bed in a Tree: and other amazing hotels around the world” is a beautifully illustrated and inspiring travel book with a difference. Most of us, when we plan a vacation, choose the destination first then think about the accommodation but how about if you found the most amazing accommodation and the destination was a secondary consideration?

The majority of the suggested places are in Europe, and of ... more
