We are LOVING these autumn walks, being outdoors, exploring, taking in all the beautiful views. Then coming home in the evening and settling down, with hot chocolates either playing a game with the family or watching a favourite film – the perfect end to the perfect day!
We are so lucky to live in such a fabulous country, offering so many countryside and seaside walks. We are also lucky we have a number of cosy holiday cottages to stay in throughout the year. We decided to share some beautiful cottages that offer comfy living space with log burners, in fabulous locations.
All cottages listed are family friendly, offer cots, highchairs and stairgates where needed for those wandering toddlers and babies.
