Originally built as a spectacular baronial-style mansion, it’s set within 99 acres of tranquil parkland and gardens on the edge of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.

The winner will be notified, and the prize arranged for delivery after this date. Please read our competition rules before you enter. Entrants must be UK residents, aged 18 or over. Promoter: Immediate Media Company London Limited (company no. 06189487). View Riddle on the source website Exclusive holidays for life: An initial payment from £5000 and a quarterly fee of under £38 (that is around £150 a year), which can increase in line with but not exceed the Retail Price Index Excluding Mortgage Interest (RPIX), gives you access to all HPB’s holiday homes. For each HPB holiday, you will pay a no-profit user charge covering only property running and maintenance costs and use of on-site facilities. The average charge is the same throughout the year, and for a studio is around £372 a week and £569 for a two bedroom property. Larger properties are also available. After an initial charge of 25% your money is invested in a fund of holiday properties and securities. The fund itself meets annual charges of 2.5% of its net assets at cost, calculated monthly. Your investment return is purely in the form of holidays and, as with most investments, your capital is at risk. You can surrender your investment to the company after two years or more (subject to deferral in exceptional circumstances) but you will get back less than you invested because of the charges referred to above, as well as other overheads and changes in the value of the fund’s properties and securities.

*******THIS COMPETITION HAS NOW CLOSED******* About Camp Bestival Music festivals have been raising their game in recent years when it comes to the food that they offer punters, and Camp Bestival is a shining example thanks to its dedicated food space, The Feast Collective. Bestival’s family friendly sister, celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, returns to the bucolic surrounds of Lulworth Castle in Dorset from 27-30 July for three days of music, comedy, theatre and great food.

If it’s sunny (we’re feeling optimistic), cool down with a strawberry and mint natural ice lolly from Polar Pops. The rest of The Feast Collective’s diverse gastronomic line-up ranges from Butchies’ decadent buttermilk chicken sandwich (see opposite page for the recipe) and Le Bao’s moreish Taiwanese bao, to Milgi’s plant-based eats, Piecaramba’s posh pie and mash, and West African plates such as jollof chicken and plantain from Zoe’s Ghana Kitchen. Keep an eye out for Zoe in the Literary Tent, where she will also be making an appearance, and tune into episode 51 of the Olive magazine podcast to hear her chat about the African food revolution taking place in the UK right now. Liquid refreshments start with freshly roasted brews from Firestation Coffee and rejuvenating juices and smoothies from S’Juice Me, while bloody marys (and oyster chasers!) can be found at Jeff The Oyster Man. Next door, Jam Jar Bar’s pretty cocktail garden, serves botanically inspired drinks such as cucumber margaritas and rhubarb martinis. Feast Collective’s multitasking, Lycra-clad host DJ BBQ will be grilling meat and playing music into the night, too, along with his DJ BBQ Zoo crew. “This is the best food tent/dance floor in all of the world,” he says, where live fire chefs and an assortment of guest DJs will be bringing beats and roasted meats (20-hour low and slow, smoked pulled pork, for instance) to the masses. Camp Bestival’s family friendly vibe is very much a part of The Feast Collective, and award-winning south-west chef Jo Ingleby will be teaching tots to cook at the Kids’ Cooking Canopy, in conjunction with Bristol’s Love Food Festival. Grown-ups are also catered for with a roster of Feast Collective ambassadors who will be discussing all matters food-related in the Literary Tent, including Jo, DJ BBQ and olive’s editor, Laura Rowe. Two River Cottage regulars will be making an appearance, head chef and Gather author Gill Meller, and smoking and curing specialist Steven Lamb, who will be hosting sessions with comedian Jack Rooke, as well contributing to a panel discussion on food. Bristol foodie Elly Curshen (aka Elly Pear), whose ode to easy meat-free cooking, Elly Pear’s Let’s Eat! is published this month, will also appear.
