THIS COMPETITION HAS NOW CLOSED.

We’re giving away a three-night stay at Godney Arts House in
Somerset thanks to Silent Pool Gin and CoolStays.

Despite being just a two-hour drive from London, Somerset feels
worlds away. Its glorious countryside dotted with honey-stone
cottages set against a backdrop of unspoilt views never fails to
seduce weary city folk. In-the-know artisans have lived here for
years – and a new gang of young creatives are moving in.

As winter takes hold and urban life becomes increasingly grey,
we wanted to give you and five friends a reviving hit of fresh air
and some fireside downtime via a wholesome escape to the
countryside.

Partnering up with artisan distillers Silent Pool
Gin, we’re getting your escape off to a merry start by gifting
you several bottles of their botanical blend. Combining flavours of
lavender and chamomile with fresh citrus notes, velvety honey and
juniper, it’s our new favourite tipple.

Equally “spirited” is your chic three-bedroom cottage near Wells
– a pretty town known for its gothic cathedral – for you and five
friends to escape to.

We scoured through CoolStays‘ definitive collection of amazing places to
stay before settling on this noteworthy spot.

Super-stylish Godney Arts House will be your home for a long
weekend. As the name suggests, this West Country bolthole is kitted
out for a cosmopolitan crowd, featuring exposed wood, slate floors,
architectural lighting, retro furnishings and eclectic artwork.
Throw in king-sized beds and freestanding bathtubs and it won’t
take long to slow your pace of life.

Once straws have been drawn and room selections made (the attic
room is our favourite), head back downstairs to the living room,
where you can sprawl out on oversized velvet sofas for a
soul-nourishing evening of long chats and longer juniper-infused
drinks by a roaring fire.

Come morning, wander down to the local market to stockpile fresh
flowers, sliced sourdough and homemade preserves, as well some
hearty local produce to cook up a storm come dinner. Don’t worry
about booze though – your drinks order is sorted thanks to

Silent Pool Gin. A restorative trip to the countryside
is about balance, after all.
