The prize:

The winner and up to 23 guests will stay for seven nights, self-catering, at ARC Padstow in Cornwall. The 18th-century manor has recently had a makeover, showing off its original beams, open fireplaces and Cornish slate walls. It now offers 12 en-suite king-size bedrooms, as well as five reception spaces, a smart modern kitchen and outdoor hot tub – all in the shadow of the church of St Issey. Padstow’s restaurants and the spectacular cliffs and beaches of Cornwall’s north coast are within easy reach.

The house is one of two remarkable country houses restored by ARC and offered in partnership with Finest Retreats, whose collection of holiday lets includes cottages, barn conversions and a lighthouse.

The prize must be taken between February 3 and April 28, 2023, excluding bank holidays and subject to availability.
