Escape for a romantic half term with Augill Castle’s unique Family Valentine’s package. 

With the unfortunate timing of Valentine’s Day 2012 coinciding with the February half term holiday, Augill Castle in Cumbria, the luxurious castle for families, is coming to the aid of romance-starved parents everywhere.

Busy mums and dads looking forward to that annual shot of peace and decadence that may have otherwise been sacrificed, can opt for Augill’s unique Family Valentine package which keeps the kids entertained while adults are able to indulge in the romantic rendezvous they had hoped for.

The Family Valentine package provided by the chic five-star castle is full of treats for both grown-ups and little ones allowing everyone an idyllic escape. The special offer includes the following treats:

• One night’s stylish bed and breakfast accommodation for two adults and two children
• A decanter of sherry and home-made biscuits on arrival
• Candle-light bath ingredients for grown-ups (bottle of champagne, bath oil, scented candle)
• A Little Cooks Valentine Class on 16th February and/or a Family Cooks session on 15th February
• High tea for the little ones followed by a movie with popcorn in Augill’s cinema suite
• A  four course dinner for the parents

While the kids enjoy making heart-shaped cookies in the specially customised Little Cooks kitchen, grown-ups can enjoy some much needed time-out in their room, take a candle lit soak in their huge bath-tub, enjoy a walk around the peaceful grounds or relax with a glass of wine in front of one of the roaring fires.

After high tea the children can make the most of the toys and books in the games room before snuggling down with their popcorn in front of a film in Augill’s very own cinema suite, while mums and dads enjoy a leisurely and romantic four course dinner.

In the spacious rooms Egyptian cotton linens, indulgent toiletries and proper coffee await.  Practical necessities such as baby listening devices, cots, high chairs, nappy disposal units and essential baby and toddler supplies are all on hand too so everything is taken care of and parents can simply relax and enjoy their stay.

The Family Valentine package is available from the 11th to the 16th of February 2011 and costs £390.  Additional children are welcome to stay at a charge of £35 per child and families can extend their stay with extra nights if they choose.
