The prize:

The winner and a guest will stay for two nights, B&B, in the magnificent Chapel suite at the Cookie Jar in Alnwick. This chic and boutiquey property rambles through a former convent at the gates of Alnwick Castle, and the Chapel is its iconic guest room.

The enormous suite has a giant bed, a copper bath and stained-glass windows, while the decor mixes 21st-century luxury with a handsome colour scheme of many shades of blue. Several of the other bedrooms look onto the Duke of Northumberland’s battlements.

Beyond the hotel’s front door, Northumberland’s fine sandy beaches and evocative monuments beckon — Bamburgh, Lindisfarne and Hadrian’s Wall among them.

The hotel plans to reopen on July 4, for residents only, in accordance with government guidelines. Thereafter, the prize must be taken before May 31, 2021, subject to availability and excluding public holidays, December 20 to January 2 and Valentine’s Day.
