Taking a few days off and spending them at a cottage means packing. Clothes and personal items are definitely a necessity, but there may be a few more things to pack. Checking to make sure there are a few local restaurants or a pub nearby is important. Otherwise, planning to buy and bring groceries will be one more item to put on the packing list. There is generally no room service at a cottage. Many vacation cottages are isolated for privacy. This means few restaurants or stores will deliver. Make sure to pack comfortable clothes, and don’t forget the food.
