\n\t\tA relaxing getaway in the Welsh countryside awaits (Picture: Brook Aurora)<\/p>\n

Picture this. You open your eyes in a cosy bedroom that feels like a ship\u2019s cabin, slowly waking to the gentle sound of a flowing river and the scent of freshly baked bread. The only place you have to be today? The spa.<\/p>\n

If this sounds like what you need, read on.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Metro<\/strong> has\u00a0teamed up with\u00a0a\u00a0top-rated Welsh<\/a> hotel to give one lucky reader (and a companion) a chance to win a restorative escape in the heart of the British countryside.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n

We\u2019re giving away a two-night B&B stay at Albion\u00a0Aberteifi<\/a>\u00a0in Cardigan, voted best hotel in Wales by the Times & Sunday Times in 2023.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also get cocktails for two at the hotel bar and a two-hour Nature Spa experience at\u00a0fforest\u00a0Farm (Welsh spelling, not typo), a short drive or a walk through a nature reserve.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For your chance to win this gorgeous spring getaway, enter your details into the form below before midnight on Sunday, April 19<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And don\u2019t forget to sign up to The Getaway Expert<\/a>, our seven-day guide to becoming a more confident traveller.<\/p>\n

Housed in an old shipping warehouse, Albion Aberteifi is inspired by the rich maritime heritage of Cardigan, the charming town that sits at the mouth of the River Teifi as it flows into Cardigan Bay in West Wales.<\/p>\n

The hotel is full of quirks that tell the story of its seafaring history, from its salvaged timber furniture, 19th-Century graffiti and wrought iron frame that protects the Grade II-listed building\u2019s original masonry, to its ghostly residents, said to be from the brig Albion which set sail for Canada<\/a> from Cardigan in 1819.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

But you\u00a0won\u2019t\u00a0be disturbed by any bumps in the night, snuggled up in your cosy double bedroom. Each en-suite, wood-lined cabin boasts a stunning river view, Welsh wool blankets, handmade furniture and a super comfortable\u00a0king-sized\u00a0bed for a restful stay.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Guests have raved about the \u2018fabulous hotel\u2019, praising in particular the \u2018thoughtful attention to detail\u2019 in everything, down to the complimentary Aesop toiletries in the bathroom.<\/p>\n

\t\t\"\"

The breakfast is unique: they serve up a Scandi-style feast, with a buffet of delights including sourdough, smoked salmon and charcuterie to graze on. <\/p>\n

In the evening, head to the Albion\u2019s bar for delicious handcrafted cocktails for two.<\/p>\n

Up close and personal with nature<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the perfect place to take respite from everyday life. Recent guests have used their time at the hotel to complete a novel, take on the local famous coast path walks, birdwatch in the local nature reserve, or to learn traditional Welsh weaving at local craft workshops.<\/p>\n

Just a ramble away on the other side of the Teifi Marshes Nature Reserve is fforest Farm, a trendy hybrid of\u00a0Welsh farm and Japanese forest retreat, where you can get up close and personal with nature.<\/p>\n

Last year, they opened The Nature Spa, a woodland oasis where you\u2019ll find everything you need for R&R, including individual cedar saunas, wood-fired hot tubs and cold plunge barrels.<\/p>\n

For the more adventurous, wild swimming in the river Teifi or the hidden\u00a0coves\u00a0of the nearby West\u00a0Wales\u00a0coast is encouraged.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0area\u00a0is\u00a0the gateway to famous\u00a0clifftop\u00a0walks along the\u00a0Ceredigion\u00a0Coast Path, where\u00a0you\u2019ll\u00a0find spectacular views over sandy bays, rugged rock\u00a0formations\u00a0and woodland gorges.\u00a0<\/p>\n

An artisan haven<\/p>\n
