About

Where Astronomy Meets Gastronomy

Cumbria has some of the darkest skies in the UK and is officially one of the best places to visit for a stargazing getaway – with the autumn and winter months offering prime time viewing of our sparkling skies, away from the city lights. Join us this winter for a stellar stay that combines the comforts of The Wordsworth Hotel in the heart of Grasmere with the magic of one of the best Orion viewing spots at Allen Bank, just a seven-minute walk away. Allen Bank, the former home of William Wordsworth is one of only two Dark Sky Discovery sites in Cumbria, situated on a hillside above the village. By day it boasts far reaching views of the countryside and by night it’s a great spot to view meteors and stars.

Staying in a classic king room you’ll enjoy a mini bottle of house wine on arrival before settling down to a decadent four course a la carte dinner in our Signature Restaurant. Wake, refreshed, to a hearty Cumbrian breakfast the following morning and spend the day as you wish, getting to know the area or taking a dip in our indoor pool. We have guides to some of our favourite walks starting from the hotel, or you may enjoy relaxing and soaking up the atmosphere in postcard-pretty Grasmere.

During the afternoon, retreat to The Wordsworth to feast on a traditional afternoon tea, served in one of our cosy lounges. As the sun goes down, marvel at our starry skies, either from our gardens, or further afield at the recommended viewing spot at Allen Bank. We’ll provide a branded insulated flask with warm soup or a hot drink to help keep you warm during your star gazing – and a warm welcome whenever you return, whatever the hour!
