I haven't even booked mine! I may not be able to make it due to family illness, but i'm just waiting to se the outcome of their tests.
If necessary i'll check to see if the prize can be transferred and offer it to someone else.
Hope everyone who has been had a great time, and i hope that everyone who is still to go enjoys themselves too. x

Yes I have been.

We went a couple of weeks ago and stayed in the mansion house. The rooms were really nice. Massive bed, plasma tele on the wall and a lovely bathroom. The shower was huge!

The pool, jacuzzi and sauna are in the exec building so you have to wander over there to use it. This building is not as nice as the mansion house. The pool is fine but the changing rooms aren't brilliant. No lockers, so don't take anything expensive. But they do provide you with towels for the pool. You can only access it with your key for your room so make sure you take it! The pool area is accessed by going through the bar which is a bit odd.

I had the salt scrub which was quite pleasant, I wouldn't have paid £45 for it though which I think is how much it costs. The girl in the spa area was really nice. The only downside was I had my treatment the following morning so then didn't want to use the pool or the scrub and moisturiser would all get washed off!

Breakfast was fine. Most people there were on a conference so we were the only ones having breakfast when we went down.

In the evening we drove to the Oracle and wandered round the shops and then had dinner in one of the restaurants.

Overall it was lovely for a freebie! I have got a few pics of the room but I haven't uploaded them yet.

The place itself is right out in the sticks. There is the restaurant in the mansion house and I think there is a place in the Exec building which does food also. Reading is about 20 mins drive away so we thought that was the best option for us. The Oracle shopping centre has parking on site and there are about 20 restaurants there.
