How pretty

I would love to win something like this. For me it would be an absolute dream to live in a thatched cottage. But where is it located?

Re: Gorgeous

@ Carole, Ashlie,

Good point! Unfortunately, the website only mentions the cottage is "situated in a beautiful country village"...

I agree that's pretty vague! I've written to the Daily Mail to ask for more details and will let you know what I find out.

Update (July 28) - Unfortunately, their response didn't add much about the location: "Any further details of the prize will appear in the paper or on the main Daily Mail website."

I guess you'll have to regularly check their paper for more details...

Update (July 30) - A big thanks to Carole for her brilliant detective work! Check out the blog for details of where the cottage could be located...

Re: Win a Dream Cottage with Daily Mail

I am having no luck in trying to identify the site where I can get one (1) missing token for the cottage competition.

Make sure to complete all the required fields and accept the T&Cs.

2. As soon as you've signed up, you'll be taken straight to the online entry page on the DM site.

3. Submit each password one by one. You can copy them directly from our blog:

4. Each time you submit a new keyword, you'll see it added under the Entry One and Entry Two columns on the right of the page, until you've entered all 40 correctly.

You'll also have a comment above the submission box confirming how many correct keywords you've entered so far: 'Hello [ ], so far you have collected 39 keywords.'

Good luck, you have until 17 September to enter.

I have collected 21 coupons for the dream cottage competition but can't find the address to send them to. The newspapers have been thrown out. Thank you.
