What's more, the lucky winner will also receive a pair of tickets for the National Motor Museum, Abbey and Palace at Beaulieu!The hotel, which has been privately owned by the Wilson family for over 25 years, has a rich history; during the First World War the Hotel was commandeered and used as an Army Hospital. The local area has a strong link with New Zealand as some of their Army was located there. In the Second World War, the Hotel was first used as an Army Staff College.

It subsequently became the Headquarters of the Canadian 3rd Infantry Division as they prepared for the Allied Landings in Normandy, before returning to be a hotel in the late 1940s
