Late summer is crayfish season in the Baltic, so much so that Pädaste Manor, a romantic 19th-century manor hotel on Muhu island in Estonia has turned the catch into a festival (Aug 24-Sept 1).

After gorging yourself on seafood paddle across to small island in the bay or go horse riding. Three nights' B&B at Padaste with flights, transfers and a crayfish dinner is £599pp. Two nights on Muhu and two in Tallinn costs £629. 0845 0705711, balticholidays.com.
