WIN! a fabulous spa break at Melville Hall

Melville Hall Hotel & Spa enjoys a peaceful and exclusive location next to the leafy Los Altos Park in Sandown, but also just five minutes away from the town’s beautiful beaches and cliff walks. Set in tranquil gardens, the hotel has 30 rooms, which means it’s big enough to offer guests their private space yet small enough for you to feel welcome. Visit
www.melvillehall.co.uk for further information on its facilities.
One lucky reader and their guest can win a two-night Spa Break at Melville Hall, which includes two nights’ luxurious accommodation in a refurbished room with en-suite Spa Bath, full English breakfasts, fine dining both nights in the hotel’s award-winning Summerhill Restaurant and a luxurious massage in the fabulous Utopia Spa. The break even includes return car ferry travel.
