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.
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.
