Valentines
Hygge ("hooga") Is all about taking time away from the daily rush to be together with people you care about - or even by yourself. Taking time to relax and enjoy life's quieter pleasures in a tranquil location, where there's never an agenda, it is an opportunity to unwind, take things slow and to celebrate the small joys of life.
GHL is the perfect location to Hygge down this Valentines Day. Sleep in, roam the moors, watch the birds, sit and read, bring your: knitting, modelling, drawing or craft, bake a cake or go: sit in a cold water stream or lose your thoughts in the quiet of the forest.
So reward yourself with a break, treat your loved one and find your Hygge at Grove House Levisham.

If like me you've been marvelling at the planetary alignment then this festival is for you.
I've discovered that here at GHL just up from the cottages there's a natural open planetarium for viewing the nights sky.
So if you are a beginner, enthusiast or expert astronomer GHL accommodation is centrally located to enjoy the festival and ideal for your own celestial viewing. Why not bring your telescope and view through the conservatory roof.
