NHS Staff Can Claim Free Stay At UK Hallmark Hotels

We've really are pretty lucky to have our National Health Service, it's one of the country's most famous institutions and has probably impacted everybody in one way or another.

It was founded to be 'available to all and financed entirely from taxation' and it's just passed the 70 year milestone.

Which is why Hallmark Hotels are offering NHS staff a free stay for the remainder of 2018. Pretty cool, right?

Staff can choose from one of the 22 hotels across the country for a sneaky little getaway, which include many features like golf courses, spas and restaurants.

According to the Mirror, the free overnight stay is available every Sunday evening when NHS staff spend £50 ($66) on food and drink in the bars and restaurants within the hotel. We knew there would be a catch somewhere - but it's still a great deal.

Michelle Anderson, head of marketing said: "This month marked a momentous anniversary for the NHS and Hallmark want to reward the deserving staff all year round at Hallmark Hotels.

"The NHS do something for each and every one of us and it's our time to thank them with a relaxing stay where they can unwind and be pampered."

The offer is valid until 24 December, and should be redeemed online by clicking here.

NHS identification must be shown at check-in to qualify for this offer. If this is not provided, the booking will revert to the normal price.

The offer is valid every Sunday throughout 2018 at all Hallmark Hotels, excluding Hallmark Inns and Bank Holiday weekends.

Online the website advertises the free stay for 'NHS Heroes' adding: "To celebrate the 70th year of the wonderful NHS, we're welcoming all NHS team members to stay at any of our 22 Hallmark Hotels (Hallmark Inns excluded) on Sundays throughout 2018.

"To qualify, simply spend a minimum of £50 on food and beverage in our Hallmark Grill or lounge bar. Our menu offers a no fuss collection of best of British comfort food with some international favourites thrown in for good measure."

The £50 is to be prepaid at the time of booking and is non-refundable and non-transferable. And the food spend cannot be used for breakfast - that will be charged separately.
