We’re giving away a three-night stay for two guests at The Retreat at Elcot Park. The winner and their guest will stay in an elegant Wessex room. The prize includes two suppers and joint spa treatments during their stay. Transfers from the station to the hotel will also be covered, while the hotel will also be putting £100 towards train travel should the car be left at home!
The Retreat at Elcot Park has a storied past dating to 1772. The grand halls were once home to Percy Bysshe Shelley’s mother, and the hotel pays homage to the Romantic poet with a suite named in his honour. Historic connotations pop up across the property, with each of the unique rooms named after historical and influential figures and points of interest.
Designed by Taylor & Turner, no two rooms are the same – a quirk that draws discerning travellers back to the estate time and time again. The winner will check into a Wessex room which, with warm tones, captivating views of the rolling Berkshire countryside and a plush king-size bed, make for the cosiest of temporary homes.
1772, the hotel’s brasserie, is a dazzling space set in the Orangery. Dishes are seasonal and might include harissa roasted sweet potato and garlic or herb gnocchi with a mushroom velouté. At Yü, the pan-Asian restaurant, fresh seafood is transformed into vibrant platters of sashimi, nigiri and sushi – Japanese-influenced starters and main courses are also available alongside a selection of mochi for sweet-toothed guests.
Open to residents and members, The Signet Spa has a heated outdoor pool and hydrotherapy indoor pool, Himalayan salt sauna, steam room, shiny gym and fitness studios. With £95 credit each, the winner and their guest can indulge in one of the spa’s signature treatments, whether it’s a recovery facial, a deep tissue massage or a unique salt floatation ritual.
