Enjoy a weekend of wonder on a two-night stay with dinner, bed & breakfast at this 4-star inn. On the first evening, an expert astronomical speaker will talk about the night sky, followed by a guided tour to view the stars. Finish with a debrief and warm, fire-side drink in the bar.
On the second evening, after your 3-course dinner, join Alison from Adventures for the Soul on a two-mile mindful walk on the moorland. You’ll connect with the cosmos through some awe-inspiring stargazing.
