Autumn and Winter holidays for families in the UK

A family holiday in the UK does not have to be just in the summer. Blessed with the Gulf Stream, the United Kingdom is relatively, very mild in the Autumn and Winter given its northerly latitude. We love our seasons in the UK and they can provide the backdrop to a truly memorable and pleasurable holiday. Of course careful planning is essential, and we here at Family Holiday UK have put together a huge directory of holiday ideas for parents and children. This includes the out of season favourite: cottages, houses, villas and hotels with indoor heated swimming pools - which can keep the kids and parents (and grandparents) happy in all weathers. Of course out of season accommodation can be significantly cheaper and many places have great Autumn and Winter special offers. So if you are looking for bracing walks in beautiful countryside rounded off with a meal and a drink at an atmospheric and warming country pub that welcomes children, or you want a more pampered break with all the comforts of home and a jacuzzi, pool and sauna thrown in, you must try our directory first !
