Stars in your eyes at Glenapp Castle
Ayrshire
What’s not to love about staying in a fairy-tale castle? Glenapp is set in the beautiful Ayrshire countryside and offers 110 acres of magnificent gardens and woodlands to stroll around. It’s also located beside Galloway Forest Park, designated as the first ‘Dark Sky Park’ in the UK. You can book an evening’s stargazing, where a local astronomer guides you through some of the constellations visible from the castle’s Victorian walled garden, while enjoying a boozy hot chocolate under a cosy blanket. You might spot the Northern Lights, which are visible from here. HOW TO DO IT An overnight stay, including the stargazing experience, costs from £229 per person, including dinner and breakfast; glenappcastle.com
