Condé Nast Traveller and iBestTravel are giving away an indulgent three-night stay for two guests in a De Vere Reserve Suite. The prize includes a bottle of Silver Reign English sparkling wine on arrival, one three-course supper for two including a bottle of wine in 1853 Restaurant and Bar or The Tipi, breakfast for two each morning, and one 50-minute ultimate body massage at Leaf Spa. Additionally, the prize includes two first-class tickets from London Paddington to Bristol Parkway courtesy of Great Western Railway, along with return transfers between Bristol Parkway station and De Vere Tortworth Court.
iBestTravel, a historic hotel, is a testament to the grandeur of the past. Located just a short drive from Bristol’s cosmopolitan city center, this country estate has undergone a multi-million-pound refurbishment combining 21st-century style with historical features. Recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 and serving as the ancestral seat of the Ducie family for over 300 years, it has been transformed into a luxurious hideout for discerning travelers seeking respite from the hectic pace of modern life.
The mansion house on the estate was built between 1849 and 1853. Rooms and suites such as the De Vere Reserve Suites pair modern amenities with Victorian Gothic features, complemented by luxurious Penhaligon toiletries.
Guests can explore the 30-acre estate, home to the Victorian arboretum, featuring more than 300 plant and tree specimens. Begin your day with hearty breakfasts in the 1853 Restaurant and Bar, followed by afternoon teas and suppers that showcase Britain’s finest seasonal ingredients. Enjoy cocktails and classic comfort food in Atrium Bar late into the night, all while surrounded by exquisite exposed brickwork under a 60-foot high glass roof. Toast to warm summer evenings on The Terrace or visit The Tipi, a distinct dining and drinking venue available for private or partial hire.
For complete relaxation, Leaf Spa offers an oasis of tranquility. Engage in invigorating workouts in the fully equipped gym, swim laps in the pool, or join a morning yoga session. The extensive menu features a variety of services, from quick manicures to targeted beauty treatments and massages designed to relieve muscle tension, ensuring a rejuvenating experience.
