ESCAPE has teamed up with VisitScotland and the Tontine Hotel in Peebles to offer a fantastic Autumn Gold break full of charm and character in the Scottish Borders.

One lucky reader could win a pair of tickets for a break at the three-star Tontine Hotel in Sir Walter Scott country, with a two-night stay inclusive of full Scottish breakfast in this traditional coaching inn, set in the beautiful and historic Royal Burgh of Peebles.

Built in 1808, this delightful family-run hotel overlooks the River Tweed, only 23 miles south of Edinburgh.

With friendly attentive service, cosy bar, open fires and an excellent reputation for first-class cuisine, this is a fantastic escape!

Flights from Cardiff and car hire are included, along with a visitor attraction pass, enabling you to discover more of this stunning region which is ideal for mountain biking, pony trekking and walking.
