Packing checklist:

Here’s a handy list you can refer to when packing your suitcase, so you have everything you need when you arrive at your villa.

• Cot bedding
• A couple of dishcloths, tea towels, dishwasher tablets, washing machine tablets (these are sometimes available at the villa but it's good to bring some with you in case)
• Your favourite tea bags, coffee, sugar (take a taste of Yorkshire with you, with Yorkshire Tea!)
• Salt/pepper
• Bin bags
• Portable Bluetooth speaker
• Any other home comforts that you can’t live without
  

Handy reminders

• You’ll be sent a villa leaflet as part of your travel documents, 28 days before your holiday. This will contain key info about your villa and the surrounding local area. You’ll also receive instructions for your key collection.
• Add any extras you require. Do you need cots or high chairs? You’ll need to add these to your booking before you go.
• Check-in is at 16:00 and check-out is 10:00.
• Your hire car can be used if you have an early/late flight to store your luggage. Enjoy this extra time to do some more exploring!
