We have teamed up with The Wellington Hotel to offer one lucky reader the chance to win an exciting two night stay in Ventnor Bay on the Isle of Wight.

Charles Dickens described Ventnor as “The prettiest place I ever saw in my life, at home or abroad” and it’s a short walk from the hotel with its views overlooking the bay.

Established in 1854, The Wellington Hotel is home to 24 boutique-style rooms and a stunning new bistro, Champagne + Fromage, the renowned bar and bistro from Covent Garden, which specialises in grower champagne, artisan cheese and charcuterie. Grower champagne uses small award-winning producers where the wines are made solely from the grapes of individually owned vineyards, as opposed to being generically blended, so the terroir characteristics of the champagne can be fully enjoyed.

Visitors can enjoy exploring the picturesque beaches and towns nearby with a host of things to do from sailing trips, literary walks, donkey sanctuaries and even a garlic farm! You can bring your four-legged friend with you as the hotel is very dog-friendly and there are plenty of scenic walks and the Isle of Wight Steam Railway to explore.

The stunning terrace at the hotel is the perfect setting for a sundowner or glass of fizz when you return and after a comfortable night’s sleep, you can enjoy a hearty cooked breakfast in the morning to kick start your day.
