A sleepover in the middle aisle doesn’t exactly conjure up images of the glamourous escape we had planned for our grand return to hotels.
But you'd be forgiven for mistaking this as a luxury retreat.
Lidl has turned one of its stores into a hotel for the night and has launched a competition with a chance to win a one-night’s staycation.
According to the German supermarket, the hotel boasts "stunning views of the fruit and veg aisle" and is a "custom-built five-star hotel experience a short walk from the cereal aisle, tailored to create an unforgettable night for one lucky winner".
The package includes a barbecue dinner, personal wine tasting, beauty treatments and a giant cinema screen to relax and watch a movie after the big feed, with snacks and treats galore thrown in.
When the night comes to end, you will simply make your way to your once-in-a-lifetime Lidl hotel bedroom to dream about a supermarket sleepover, only to wake and find all your dreams had come true.
Lidl's website states: "Savour the taste of summer from your own private BBQ chef, on hand to conjure up an incredible menu of Lidl’s choicest dishes.
"Relax in the company of our wine expert, who will treat you to a personal wine tasting session, then it’s off to the cosmetics aisle for a full beauty treatment before cosying up in front of the big screen for a movie night with snacks and goodies galore.
"When the night comes to an end, find yourself settling down in comfort of your very own middle aisle, with soft sheets and cushy pillows helping you relax as you live out your life-long dream of spending the night in a Lidl."
