This period is particularly good for couples looking for a peaceful escape with plenty of daylight for adventures.July and August are the warmest months, superb for those who enjoy being on the water.

Families often find these months best for making the most of the outdoor pursuits and the longer, brighter evenings.September brings slightly cooler temperatures but often stable, clear weather, and the autumnal colours begin to emerge, creating a beautiful backdrop.
