With the kids off school for a week, the October half-term holidays are naturally one of the most popular times for a getaway after summer. It’s the perfect chance to spend some quality time with the family on a week-long break surrounded by natural beauty and all your loved ones. Surprise the children with sea views on the coast or a cosy cottage in the countryside, then have a great time together relaxing and creating memories.
But there’s more to this beautiful autumnal month than October half-term breaks. If you want to beat the crowds outside of October half term, you can enjoy the best beaches, countryside and popular attractions with a little more peace and quiet. October is the perfect time for families to get away with kids who aren’t in school – or just groups of friends who are overdue an extra-special catch-up.
Spend a week, weekend or a few midweek nights by the beach, complete with your own hot tub to warm you up in the evening. Or treat the children to a luxury break with their own cinema room to watch all the latest movies and old favourites. Whether it’s an October half-term break with family or a term-time getaway with friends, your holiday cottage will have all the added extras you need to make your UK holiday unforgettable.
Whether you visit the countryside or coast, you won’t have to cut down your guest list one bit. With kate & tom’s, you can choose from houses sleeping as many as 40+ people all under one roof. With a selection of dog-friendly houses, you can even bring the pets along. Swap your daily walk in the park for a stroll along the beach or through picturesque moorlands as a treat for your four-legged friend.
