WIN! A luxury stay at Middlethorpe Hall & Spa, worth over £850

Experience the timeless charm of one of England’s most beautiful country houses with the chance to win an indulgent stay for two at Middlethorpe Hall & Spa, a Historic House Hotel of the National Trust.

Just two miles from the historic city of York, Middlethorpe Hall is a magnificent William III country house built in 1699 and set within 20 acres of beautifully restored gardens and parkland. Once home to the celebrated diarist Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, the hotel today is renowned for its elegant interiors, award-winning dining, and boutique spa, offering the perfect blend of heritage, tranquillity and modern comfort.

Enjoy the very best of country house dining, awarded 2 AA Rosettes and twice named ‘Restaurant of the Year’ in the Visit York Awards. Overlooking neatly mown lawns, the Oak Room and Pineapple Room provide the perfect setting for breakfast, weekend luncheons or a candlelit dinner, with dishes crafted from fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from local suppliers and the hotel’s own gardens.

Afterwards, unwind in the tranquil Health and Fitness Spa, housed within listed Edwardian cottages and surrounded by secluded gardens. Guests can enjoy the swimming pool, sauna and gym, or indulge in luxurious treatments by Aromatherapy Associates and Mii Nails, delivered by expert therapists.

• A two-night stay for two in a classic room at Middlethorpe Hall & Spa

• Breakfast for two on both mornings

• A three-course dinner for two on one evening

Nestled amid manicured lawns and flower-filled borders that have earned multiple Yorkshire in Bloom Gold Awards and the prestigious White Rose Award, Middlethorpe Hall is a haven of English elegance, combining the best of city and country living, with the cultural riches of York just moments away.

Middlethorpe Hall is exceptionally proud of its links with suffragist garden designer Fanny Wilkinson (1855–1951). She lived in the house with her family, and it was where she became passionate about gardening. Last year Middlethorpe Hall unveiled a York Civic Trust Blue Plaque in the walled garden to celebrate her achievements.
