Win a unique Cornish garden break at a luxury hotel

Cornwall’s mild climate, beautiful countryside and stunning coastline mean that this southwestern tip of the country has plenty of outstanding gardens for enthusiasts and visitors to explore and enjoy. Enter our competition and you could win a unique experience of a two-night stay for two at one of Cornwall’s finest country house hotels by the sea, plus exclusive behind-the-scenes tours of the sub-tropical paradises of Glendurgan and Trebah Garden.

The prize
The Nare Hotel is superbly located on the scenic Roseland Peninsula, overlooking a beach with perfect sea views and within easy reach of Cornwall’s finest gardens. The hotel has excellent standards of comfort, luxury and service and has been rated by the AA as the best hotel in Cornwall every year for the last 15 years. The prize offers a two-night stay including bed, breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner for two people.

At Glendurgan on the Helford River you’ll discover a jungle-like lower valley filled with sub-topical plants contrasting with arid plants basking on the sunny upper slopes. There’s also a huge tulip tree and a good collection of rhododendrons and camellias. Here, you’ll be given an exclusive guided tour with the head gardener.

Trebah is a paradise for plant lovers. The result of 160 years of inspired gardening, this sub-tropical haven is set against a stunning coastal backdrop. Lush plantings include collections of palms and tree ferns, candelabra primulas and massed hydrangeas. You’ll learn the history of Trebah by exploring the garden with its archivist, then join a private tour with the head gardener. To end your day you’ll enjoy a Cornish cream tea on the private terrace, offering the best view of the garden from the house, down the valley to the Helford.
