Win A 2-Night Stay At The Varsity Hotel & Spa In Cambridge

Dreaming of a riverside break in historic Cambridge? This Country & Town House competition invites you to win a blissful two-night escape at The Varsity Hotel & Spa, a stylish boutique retreat perched on the Quayside with stunning views of the River Cam.

The prize package brings you and a companion the chance to unwind in a Senior Fellows Super King Bedroom with breakfast each morning. One evening, you and your guest will dine at SIX Brasserie, where light, modern dishes meet a sense of Cambridge heritage across floor-to-ceiling windows with city views.

To amplify the relaxation, two 50-minute spa treatments — massage and facial combinations — are included to melt away city fatigue and leave you refreshed and glowing. The hotel's Glassworks Spa and River Bar accompany your stay with thoughtful touches, making this a memorable Cambridge escape.

Located in the heart of the city, The Varsity blends contemporary style with Cambridge character. Guests can explore nearby colleges, punting on the river, and the lively Quayside atmosphere, then return to a haven of comfort with premium bedding, bespoke fabrics by Kit Kemp and Colefax & Fowler, and soothing spa experiences. The prize offers two guests a complete package: comfortable accommodation, a delicious dinner on one evening, and restorative spa time, all designed to help you reconnect with each other and the city.

The Varsity Hotel & Spa is a boutique, independently owned 48-room property on Cambridge's Quayside, where bold patterns meet classic English charm. Each room is individually styled, with rich fabrics, oak floors and river views that capture the energy of Cambridge. The Glassworks Spa sits next door, offering a full wellness experience with a gym, yoga and Pilates, a river-facing Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room, and a menu of beauty treatments to complement your break.

Food lovers will enjoy SIX Brasserie on the hotel's top floor, offering breakfast, lunch and dinner with panoramic views across Cambridge. The River Bar Steakhouse & Grill, adjacent to the river, champions locally sourced produce, a strong cocktail list and a relaxed atmosphere for post-adventure drinks. These spaces set the scene for a getaway that blends comfort, cuisine and pampering in a city famed for colleges, canals and culture.

Participation in the competition means one lucky winner and a guest will experience this Cambridge hotspot with a two-night stay, breakfast, dinner and spa time included, turning an ordinary week into a stylish escape. The prize arrangement is designed to feel effortless and indulgent, inviting you to slow down, breathe deeply, and enjoy the river glow and city lights after a day of wandering through Cambridge’s historic streets.

Close date for entries is 14 November 2026, a date that leaves room for a weekend or a midweek break, should your diary allow. If you long for a stylish, relaxing stay by the water, with comfortable rooms, delicious dining and soothing spa moments, this prize promises a charming Cambridge escape that’s easy to picture, and even easier to enjoy.
