The prize:

The winner and guest will stay for two nights, B&B, in a junior suite at the five-star Mar Hall in Renfrewshire – part of JA Resorts & Hotels. In 240 acres of forested grounds, with a par-70 championship golf course beside the Clyde, the 19th-century resort has emerged from a £20 million refurb with sumptuous interiors, a luxury spa and revitalised restaurants and bars.

The prize includes a three-course dinner for two in the Dining Room (excluding drinks) and a round of golf for two or a 55-minute massage each. It must be taken before April 30, 2026, subject to availability and excluding December 20 to January 5 and March 28 to April 12.
