AFTER the presents have all been opened and the decorations have come down a holiday may be in order to recover from the Christmas mayhem.

Now one lucky reader will be in for a post-Christmas treat thanks to the Daily Echo’s Win Christmas competition – our very own Advent calendar of seasonal delights.

They will be whisked away with friends or family to their choice of one of 500 UK hotels courtesy of Travelodge’s Get Up and Go campaign. The campaign is set to show off what makes Britain great – while also introducing the hotel chain’s new modern look.

Travelodge has this year invested £57million in transforming its 500 hotels across the UK and giving almost 9,000 team-members new customer service training.

The winner of today’s give-away will get to try out one of the firm’s recently modernised family en-suite rooms which cater for either two adults and two children or three adults.

Along with one of the firm’s 37,000 new luxurious Travelodge Dreamer beds, the winner will also get to make use of a flat screen TV, tea and coffee facilities and Wi-Fi.

Prizes galore So far our Win Christmas competition has seen us give away a host of goodies including a stocking full of DVDs, a turkey from Uptons Butchers in Bassett, shop vouchers, gift cards and pantomime tickets.

And tomorrow there will be £500 worth of Poundstretchers vouchers up for grabs. So don’t forget to pick up a copy of the Daily Echo every day for your chance to win all you need for a fantastic festive season.
