Win a romantic break in the LakesTICKLED Pink readers are being offered the chance to win a romantic break for two at a boutique hotel in the Lake District.
 Broadoaks Country House Hotel, which was built in 1836 for a wealthy military gentleman, is a beautiful example of how Victorian England used to be. The arts and craft music room added on in 1905 is the perfect place for a traditional afternoon tea or as the place to say "I do". It is also the perfect spot for loved-up couples looking for a mini-moon. The lucky couple will enjoy a two-night stay at the AA accredited 5 star country house which boasts hand-carved four poster beds, double-ended spa baths and real log fires. Broadoaks, which has 15 rooms, can be hired exclusively for almost any occasion. "Basically if you can get 15 couples together, then you can hire your very own country house hotel for the weekend,” said owner Tracey Robinson. What’s important is that gay couples feel at home. "I know that I still worry about checking into a B&B for fear of a negative reaction, which I guess comes from the past of being rejected or looked at in a strange way,” said Tracey. For the record, that won’t ever happen at Broadoaks where country house meets boutique hotel. To enter the competition, simply tell Broadoaks in an email what year the hotel was built and why you and your partner deserve to win this break. Please don’t forget to also include your name, address and daytime phone number in your email to trobinson@broadoakscountryhouse.co.uk The closing date for entries is December 23rd 2011. Winners will be notified on December 24th just in time for Christmas Day |   Follow Our Recent Tweets
 London Launch GalleryWHAT YOU THINK OF US
I just happened to come across your site and it looks great.
I am a make-up artist based in Cornwall
and I have done a few lesbian weddings over the past couple of years and what
surprises me is that they phone up and are worried that I may take offence that
they are gay. It must be horrible to feel in that position so to have a
magazine featuring people who are happy to make their day special is such a
fantastic idea.
- Sally Orchard Just a quick email to thank you for my copy of the new
magazine and to say how pleased I am to be part of it – I’m really impressed! I
love the tone of the editorial which has managed to be informative without
being patronising – a rarity in the world of wedding journalism, I
find! Wishing you every success with the South West edition of Tickled Pink.
Alison Miles - Alison Miles Couture, Bath, Somerset Congratulations to all of you on a great magazine. I hope it is really successful. We photograph our first civil partnership in November. We cannot wait.
- Diana & Dave, David Golding Wedding Photography, Buxton
Just been made aware of your fantastic website and magazine. This is a fabulous resource and I'm really pleased to see an innovative magazine specifically catering for gay couples.
- Belinda, Wonderland Tea Parties
We think it's great news that there will finally be a magazine dedicated to the gay wedding community. We wish you all the best for the magazine.
