Stargazing has rocketed in popularity following 2009’s ‘Year of Astronomy’; a quarter of a million people in the UK now take a keen interest! What’s more, the Lake District has been appointed as one of the top ten UK locations for this with one of the lowest light pollution levels in Britain.

With clear Autumn nights rapidly approaching, the coming months are set to be perfect for star spotting, and so Armathwaite Hall Country House and Spa has launched its ‘Starry Eyed’ package for visitors to appreciate the full celestial glory of this region and as a lasting reminder of their visit they can even name their very own star which will be registered on the Intergalactic Star Database for eternity.

On a clear, cloudless night, thousands of stars, planets, and even galaxies can be viewed from the specially installed telescope in the conservatory. The skyline allows sightings of the Milky Way in addition to the double-clouster constellation of Perseus, and even the galaxy of Andromeda! Visitors can also relax and enjoy the starry skies from the deliciously warm waters of the outdoor hydrotherapy pool.

The brand new ‘Starry Eyed’ package includes:

• Two nights accommodation for two sharing a room
• Full English breakfast each morning
• Two Gourmet table d’hôte dinners for two (excluding wine)
• The opportunity to name your very own star

A choice of one of these two fabulous treatments that will leave you feeling like a star yourself. Choose from:
