A boutique hotel in Leamington Spa has launched an Instagram competition to win an overnight spa break and dining experience – with a DS Automobiles premium range car for an entire week.
The competition marks a new partnership between the 43-bedroom Mallory Court Country House Hotel and Spa with DS Automobiles and their interior blogger ambassador Chelsea Stonier, of The House that Black Built.
It follows an exclusive 24-hour visit to the four AA Red Star luxury hotel by Chelsea with her golden doodle, Norman. She enjoyed a five-course Tastes of the Season tasting menu curated by renowned chef Simon Haigh and a dip in the spa pool.
A similar luxury dining experience in the 3AA Rosette restaurant, breakfast for two and access to the Elan Spa are included in the prize.
The winner will also have the choice of any car from the DS collection including a DS 3 Crossback E-Tense, a compact 100% electric; a DS 7 Crossback E-Tense, a 4 x 4 hybrid electric SUV, or a DS 4 Cross, the new plug-in hybrid as driven by Chelsea on her visit to Mallory Court in Pearl White.
Chelsea, who has been featured in Good Homes Magazine and Brides magazine, said: “We loved that the hotel instantly had such a welcoming and homely feel. The staff were so attentive, nothing was too much trouble and they made us feel really special.
“Norman got his own bed and treats. We were also offered our evening meal and breakfast in a private room so Norman could join us.
“I’m so happy to be partnering with Mallory Court, as part of my ambassadorship with DS, to offer the opportunity to one of my followers to have the same experience – including a DS of their choice for a whole week!
“As brands, we all have an eye for aesthetics, strong attention to detail and a lot for the little (or a big!) touch of luxury. I feel like this makes this the perfect partnership and a fabulous giveaway.”
Chelsea’s stay coincided with the recent UK heatwave in July but the hotel was fully prepared.
Event manager Bryony-Jayne Bateman said: “We ensured all our rooms had additional water in the fridges and plenty of ice for chilled drinks, for both human and four-legged guests! We even had a cool pillow available for Norman’s dog bed.”
