Surrounded by greenery in the heart of rural Staffordshire, The Tawny is a hotel with a difference. This ‘deconstructed hotel’ takes all the best bits from a traditional hotel experience, from luxurious facilities to a top-notch restaurant, and combines them with your own private space: a country escape to call your own.

One lucky reader and their guest will win a two-night stay at The Tawny, with stunning views over rolling countryside. Our winners will enjoy a stay in an exclusive Treehouse, offering sweeping views from their elevated perch. Relax in your luxurious suite or sit out on your own private veranda and enjoy the wide-open skies.

The estate has an array of other luxury retreats, from romantic boathouses to wildwood huts immersed in nature. Each is completely private and comes with an outdoor bath on private decking from which to take in views of the estate.

From your doorstep are numerous walks around the estate’s picturesque valleys, dotted with serene pools and historic follies. The setting provides a scenic backdrop to activities around the estate, from watercolour painting classes to foraging walks and (this being Staffordshire) pottery workshops. The heated outdoor pool is located at the top of the valley, with spectacular views across the 70-acre estate.

As well as a two-night stay, our winners will also enjoy a three-course dinner on one night of their stay at the hotel’s stylish restaurant, The Plumicorn, which offers more stunning views from its floor-to-ceiling windows and a delicious menu of seasonal dishes made with fresh local ingredients.
