The winner and up to five guests will stay for a week at Natural Retreats Trewhiddle, a collection of upmarket self-catering residences in a picturesque valley near Mevagissey, in Cornwall. Two-, three- and four-bedroom properties are available, all with light, contemporary interiors and views of the surrounding countryside. Among the many beautiful beaches nearby are Pentewan Sands and Carne; the Eden Project is only a six-mile drive.

Natural Retreats specialises in self-catering holidays in the UK, Ireland, the Canary Islands and the USA. Locations include John o’ Groats and South Fork Lodge, on the Snake River, Idaho.

The winners will stay in a two- or three- bedroom residence, and the prize must be taken before June 30, 2014, subject to availability and excluding December 24-January 3, May 2-6 and May 23-27.

    You can understand why these places want to reserve their cottages for the school holidays, but at the same time it means that families with children can't enter these competitions unless they pull their children out of school.
  • I totally agree with you re school holidays, but it looks like they have forgotten about Easter on this one :)

    Thanks for posting and good luck everyone.
