Dog-friendly October half term cottages and holiday homes with cosy wood burning fires are also popular for this time of year, as are hot tub cottages. Get out and explore the great outdoors in the countryside and marvel at the leaves with their brilliant orange and golden hues whilst you breathe in the crisp air.
