What to bring for a country house stay

A short list for a long weekend with family or friends, and where to check what the house has.

What to bring for a country house stay

The house page lists what's there, so read it first and pack for the gaps.

For the days

  • Shoes for walking across the lawn and the grounds
  • Layers, since the weather changes through the year
  • Games and things to do for the people who like to wander off

For the table

  • Ideas for a few long dinners
  • A plan for who cooks what, once you've checked what the kitchen has

Before you leave home

Check the page for check-in and check-out times and the house rules. If more people will join you than are staying, ask the host first.

Ask the host

Your dates, how many are coming, what you're planning. Your message goes to the host.
