October Half Term Cottages

Perfect October half term holidays in England and Wales

Choose one of our October half term cottages in the Welsh countryside, complete with a hot tub to keep warm in those autumn nights. With plenty of nearby forests and coastlines to explore by day and cloud-like king-size beds to nestle into at night, you’ll be ready to tackle the next term after your short family break.

Alternatively, October half term breaks at a cosy cottage in England offer the chance to spend quality time taking in the natural beauty of the season amid spectacular countryside. You can find our holiday homes in lovely locations like Yorkshire. Discover historical sites and visit popular attractions all the family can enjoy, such as Castle Howard and its delightful grounds.

You might prefer to head for the coast to spend your week-long break enjoying windswept strolls and sea views, while the children explore the empty beaches. Whilst dips in the sea might be off the cards in October, the clifftop paths and hidden caves along the English coastline are enough to attract you back to the beach. Bring your pooch for long windy dog walks in the sea breeze and warm your toes and paws on the underfloor heating when you return.

Perhaps an exhilarating adventure in the October half term break is on the cards? Climb well-known hills and peaks in Yorkshire or the Lake District to take in the stunning views or visit the dramatic coastline of Northumberland for a spot of coasteering or gorge walking. After a day in the elements, a warming meal and hot toddy await your arrival at the local. Then take the short drive home to your cosy cottage to spend the long autumn nights relaxing with friends and loved ones, nestled around a crackling fire.
