Hotel Breaks with THE INDEPENDENT

We would like to invite you to take a short break in the country at a top-class, owner run hotel and stay two nights for the price of one. Simply pay for one night's bed and breakfast and you will get the next night, including breakfast, free. Rates are based on a double room.

All the participating hotels are part of the Minotel consortium and many will allow you to enjoy a longer stay on the same basis: pay for two nights and stay for four, for example. You can check this with your chosen hotel when you make your initial reservation.

There are more than 100 Minotel hotels participating in this offer and they are located throughout England, Wales and Scotland. In Wednesday's Independent we printed a list of all the hotels available.

The hotels offer top-class comfort and pride themselves on providing a personal service that many larger establishments cannot match.

To qualify for your 2 For 1 break, you must collect FOUR differently numbered tokens from the seven we are printing and attach them to a voucher which we will print in Saturday's edition of The Independent with details on how to book. Today we print Token 6.

Pictured above is The Riverside Hotel in Monmouth, Wales. This highly commended hotel in The Wye Valley offers a Taste of Wales in its top quality restaurant. A double room for one night costs pounds 69.

Tomorrow we will feature another hotel in The Independent and give you your final token.
