Harrogate woman wins luxury five-night stay in Corfu A Harrogate woman is jetting off to Corfu after she was named as the winner of our biggest ever competition. We teamed up with Ventur Luxury Travel to give you the chance to fly to a five-star luxury hotel in Corfu for a five-day holiday. The prize includes flights and accommodation for two people to stay at the stunning MarBella hotel. And after more than 5,500 entries, Joanne Gilbert was randomly selected as our winner. [caption id="attachment_95948" align="aligncenter" width="1024"] The MarBella Hotel in Corfu.[/caption] Joanne will be staying Premium All Inclusive in a fully renovated double room with a sea view. She told Your Harrogate’s Nick Hancock she’ll be taking her husband Mark:

“You’re kidding! Oh my god! I’m trying really hard not to cry. “I’ve been to Corfu a long time ago in a former life, so I don’t remember it. “It’s our 30th wedding anniversary this year, so how nice is that for a celebration!”

Evan Desmond, Head of Leisure at The Gray Dawes Group, said:

"A huge thank you to everyone who entered our competition in partnership with Your Harrogate. "We saw a record number of entries within the first four days of the competition going live and we're super happy to send Joanne, our winner, on her way to the beautiful island of Corfu."
