What's the big deal? Summer often gets the glory, but autumn is the best time for a staycation. The tourists have gone, so you can enjoy the coast and countryside at their most peaceful. The temperatures are mild enough that a big woolly jumper is enough to stay toasty in the great outdoors. And what's better than a pint by the fire at a rustic pub after a long walk and a big bowl of fresh air?

Most importantly, once summer ends, hotel prices take a dive and you get a lot more for your money. We've negotiated a selection of autumn getaways, so you can make the most of the season — and save up to 59% on stays at popular destinations including Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Northumberland, Snowdonia, the Cotswolds, the New Forest, the Lake District, and many more.
