Sunday Times Where Was I? competition
The prize:
The winner and a guest will stay for two nights, on a half-board basis, at Burgh Island Hotel, near Bigbury-on-Sea in Devon. The hotel is set on a plug of rock at the far end of Bigbury Bay and to get there guests transfer to a Land Rover or a sea tractor.
Built in 1929, the hotel is an art-deco jewel and has been lovingly restored by its current owners. Dinner each night is a black-tie occasion, and on Wednesday and Saturday nights, live bands play period music. For the intrepid, there’s a sea-water bathing pool set in a secret little cove beneath the hotel.
Accommodation for the prizewinner and a guest will be in an Agatha Christie room or equivalent, and is subject to availability. The prize must be taken between September 1 and December 31, excluding public holidays.
