Sunday Times Where Was I? competition

(www.thetimes.co.uk/travel/destinations/competition/where-was-i-ftrnmb55n)

The prize:

The winner and up to three guests will enjoy a three-night long weekend at the Sugar Store – a romantic selfcatering cottage in the Hereford hills. In a lush garden, complete with hot tub, raised beds and a shepherd’s hut writing room, this snug red-brick property is a chic mix of vintage style and modern convenience. Think induction hobs and an Aga, dual ovens and a woodburning stove, parquet floors and a Bluetooth speaker. Both bedrooms are en suite. Beyond the garden, footpaths wander across the neighbouring hills, while Hereford’s medieval Mappa Mundi beckons nearby in the cathedral. Day trips to cider farms, the Brecon Beacons, Hay-on-Wye and the Malverns are all feasible.

The prize must be taken on a three-night, Friday-to-Monday long weekend before December 31, 2025, subject to availability and owner confirmation and excluding school and public holidays.

The prize does not include travel, or any costs associated with travel. The prize cannot be transferred or exchanged for monetary value or cash alternative. Standard Boutique Retreats terms and conditions apply to the booking.
