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.

Whether you escape to the countryside or book a break by the coast, October half term school holidays are a great time to escape with the kids for family time before the run up to Christmas. Great destinations for October breaks are many and varied, from the Cotswolds to the Lake District and South West of England.
