The Ultimate Staycation Holiday Packing Checklist
Whether you’ve opted to book a long weekend or a few weeks in Wales. We’ve put together a handy holiday luggage checklist for you to follow.
One of the reasons that Wales is a popular destination, is that it offers such a diverse range of sights, a variety of activities and many stunning landmarks.
As such, it can sometimes be a little overwhelming when thinking about what’s crucial (especially if you have little ones to pack for too!)
How Seaborne House takes some of the pressure off packing
The great thing about staying at our luxury holiday cottage is that you have plenty of access to amenities like a washing machine, tumble dryer and even a wetsuit hanging space for those beach trips!
We’ve also made sure to include everything that you might need to have a great Welsh holiday.
From good quality sharp knives to cook for your family, dishwashers and coffee machines for those early wake-up calls!
What to pack for your self-catering holiday in Wales
Not all holiday lets are created equally, so whilst we provide white fluffy bath towels, professionally laundered bed linen and hand towels as standard, other holiday lets may not.
It’s always best to err on the side of caution and pack something that isn’t needed. This is why our holiday packing list covers many things that we provide as standard.

Comfortable walking shoes to enjoy the local walks
Enough spare clothes to make sure you won’t run out
