  • ✓ October - November: Crisp autumn colour, cosy evenings by the fire, quieter attractions

Rainy Day Tip: A large cottage comes into its own on wet days - board games, a long lunch and a film with the whole group beat a cramped hotel any day. Check the tabs here for nearby pubs and attractions with indoor options.
