The prize:

The winner and guest will stay for two nights, B&B, in a Deluxe Garden View room at Gidleigh Park, a country-house hotel near Chagford in Devon. Set in 107 acres on the edge of Dartmoor, this grand, half-timbered property offers a sense of sanctuary, as well as exceptional food. Its 24 bedrooms overlook the River Teign and are furnished with fabrics and antiques sourced by the Brownsword family.

In the Michelin-starred restaurant, the head chef Chris Eden’s seasonal menus are inventive yet refined. The wine cellar has more than 13,000 bottles.

The prize includes one three-course dinner for two and a bottle of wine chosen by the sommelier. It must be taken between November 1, 2023, and April 30, 2024, subject to availability and excluding bank holidays, as well December 24 to January 2, February 14 and March 29 to April 2.

The prize is not transferable. There is no cash alternative. Travel to and from Gidleigh Park is not included. The prize excludes anything in addition, and any extras must be paid for on departure by the prize winner or guest.
