Our October half-term getaways range from spacious countryside houses with hot tubs and gardens, to coastal cottages just a pebble’s throw from the sea. Many of our homes are dog-friendly too, so the whole family can join in the fun. With fully equipped kitchens, family-sized dining tables and comfortable living spaces, you’ll have everything you need for a memorable stay – plus little touches like highchairs, bunk beds or games rooms in certain properties to make life easier.
Autumn is a season of colour, crisp air and harvest celebrations. With so much to see and do in Kent and Sussex, your half-term holiday can be as active or as restful as you like. Spend the day pumpkin-picking or visiting one of the region’s family-friendly farms, discover breezy stretches of coast, or head inland to woodlands glowing in autumn shades. Historic landmarks like Leeds Castle, Bodiam Castle and Battle Abbey offer learning activities aplenty for school-age children, while parents can soak up the scenery and enjoy some much-needed downtime.
