We're excited to announce our latest competition, in partnership with Retreat East, a unique getaway deep in rural Suffolk, which takes relaxing breaks to the next level. It's a reimagined country house hotel, made up of a series of self-contained barns, a self-catering farmhouse and a handful of luxury shepherd's huts, generously spaced among the gorgeous grounds. At its heart lies The Great Barn, complete with a bar, restaurant and spa.
The lucky winner will receive a 'Stay, Spa & Supper' package for two people, including one night in an Elements Barn, a complimentary continental breakfast, a 30-minute spa treatment per person, full use of the spa facilities, and a delicious dinner in The Great Barn.
The Elements Barns are heavenly hideaways indeed, home to a stylish open-plan living space with a wood burner and an adjoining bedroom with a supersized four-poster, plus a private terrace with an outdoor bathtub – bliss.
Drenched in peace, calm and tranquillity, Retreat East is perfect for lazing about, exploring the scenic setting or undertaking undemanding country walks (of which there are plenty).
The generous prize is worth £550.
