WIN A 2-NIGHT STAY AT BARNSLEY GARDENS RESORT

Holiday Gift Guide & Grab Bag GRAND PRIZE!

November 18, 2010

I've written two articles about Barnsley Gardens over the last month, so you shouldn't be TOO surprised that the GRAND PRIZE giveaway for the holidays is a two-night stay at one of my favorite getaways. CLICK HERE to read last week's article, which will tell you just about everything you need to know about the resort, including the wonderful list of holiday events and activities happening through the end of 2010.

And while I said Barnsley can very much be a family getaway, this particular package is just for two. The giveaway is for two nights in a manor room, and includes an amazing breakfast both mornings in the Woodland Grill.

The value of this package is $694.00, and the winner is responsible for tax and gratuities during their stay. The prize will be valid from January 1-March 31, 2011. Some blackout dates do apply and your stay is based on availability. CLICK HERE to view the accomodations page for Barnsley Gardens Resort.

While you can (and should) read the full article written just last week about the resort, here are a some highlights:

Designed in the style of an English Village and set in the Georgia countryside, Barnsley Gardens Resort offers a full complement of sporting and recreational amenities and is famous for its historic gardens among the ruins.  The resort also features a Fairy Godmother, whose sole job is to enhance guests’ stays with her magical touch and creative special activities.  Request a romance spell, or perhaps an adventure kit for your children.  Golfing, tennis, bikes, horseback riding, hiking, lawn games (think badminton, croquet and frisbee golf), canoeing and even paintball are activities to be enjoyed. Have a catered picnic on the grounds.  Like hunting/shooting? Springbank Plantation is a unique hunting preserve that features a 16-station sporting clays course. Enjoy the spa? Get there! Relaxing is just fine too.

Fabulous fine dining awaits you at The Rice House. On a more casual side, the resort's hunting lodge inspired bar  and restaurant, The Woodlands Grill, is wonderful too (and they have an amazing breakfast buffet - don't miss it). And if you want something really laid back, the Beer Garden offers outdoor seating and a menu featuring sausages, pretzels and beer (and fire pits).  Actually fire pits are located throughout the property and are the ideal gathering place for enjoying a beer or glass of wine while roasting marshmallows for S’mores.

All accommodations at Barnsley are located within 37 unique guest cottages which feature porches with views of the grounds and gardens.  The resort is located in Adairsville, GA, just about an hour north of Atlanta. For more information, visit the website at http://www.barnsleyresort.com/
