The Ultimate Autumn Escapes

When leaves start falling and the temperature begins to drop, this transitional time of year can feel a little daunting as we start preparing for the colder months ahead. But Autumn is also one of the most beautiful times of the year and one of the best seasons for dressing. Look forward to cosy layering, fresh mornings, and spending time outdoors enjoying Autumn's warmest colours.

SM has put together a list of locations that make for the perfect escape to experience this exceptionally beautiful time of year. 

For the best view of Autumn's vibrant canopy and falling leaves, where better to stay than in a treehouse retreat. SM recommends the beautiful Wildhives or Treehouses at Callow Hall, Derbyshire.  

What better way to experience Edinburgh than staying in a historic building like Observatory House set on Calton Hill. Overlook the impressive pillars of the National Monument Of Scotland within a stone's throw of your luxurious stay in the Observatory Apartment. 

This time of year can be particularly busy, so much so that sometimes it can feel impossible to switch off from the realities of day-to-day living.

If you're a city worker or just longing for some space from the bustle, SM think an Unplugged staycation is the perfect antidote for you.

Designed to be a retreat from the internet and all things electronic, Unplugged offers small cabin stays to rest and recharge surrounded by nature.

Located surrounding the cities of London and Manchester, this is the perfect way to slip off and switch off without committing to long or expensive travel. 

If you're craving fresh morning walks and the sea air, Cornwall is the perfect destination to really relax this Autumn.

Stay in a unique coastal holiday home such as Aphrodite in Trevalga, North Cornwall. This remote chapel conversion boasts tall windows with idyllic views of the Cornish cliffs and seas.
