Packing for Staithes?
Here’s what we’d throw in the car.
Most of it you’ll already have.

Already at the cottage

• Wi-Fi
• A log burner
• A shower and a washing machine
• A Smart TV

Bring a good book anyway.

For the beach

• A quick-dry microfibre beach towel – light, and dry by the time you’re back up the bank.
• A sandcastle set – for the little ones. And the big ones.
• A pop-up sun tent – shade for babies and toddlers on bright days.

For the walks

• Good shoes. The bank is steep and there are steps.
• Waterproofs. It’s the Yorkshire coast.
• An OS Explorer map – for walks along the coast and up onto the North York Moors.
• A reusable water bottle – for the cliff paths and the beach.

For the dogs

• A lead. The cliff paths have edges.
• An old towel for sandy paws.
• Their bed and a favourite toy, so they settle in fast.

Dogs stay downstairs. Up to three small or one large. More on our dog-friendly page.

Then just turn up

Stick the fire on. Put the kettle on.
You’re on holiday.
