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

• 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!
