What Should I Pack for a Weekend Getaway?
When it comes to clothing, the key is versatility and comfort. Northumberland's weather can be unpredictable, with crisp mornings, sunny afternoons, and chilly evenings. Pack layers that can easily adapt to changing temperatures—lightweight layers like T-shirts, a jumper, or a light jacket are essential. Include comfortable walking shoes for daytime adventures and something cosy for lounging around your rental. If you fancy a night out, packing a smart outfit is a good idea. And don’t forget your pyjamas and undergarments!
Northumberland is a paradise for outdoor lovers. If your plans include hiking, birdwatching, or cycling, make sure your equipment list is up to date. Need some inspiration?

What Are the Must-Have Toiletries for a Short Trip?
For toiletries, stick to the essentials. Our properties are equipped with basic amenities, but personal items like your favourite shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, and deodorant should be on your list. If you take medication, double-check you’ve packed enough for the weekend. We also recommend bringing high SPF sunscreen, SPF lip balm, and a broad-brimmed hat to shield you from the sun during outdoor activities!
Hot Tub Time!
The highlight of your stay is undoubtedly the outdoor hot tub, offering a relaxing haven under the stars. Remember to pack swimwear and a towel that makes you feel confident and comfortable. Consider bringing an extra swimsuit so you always have a dry one ready!
What Electronics Should I Bring for a Two-Day Trip?
Northumberland's breathtaking landscapes are a photographer's dream. Capture the stunning views and magical moments with a good-quality camera or smartphone. Don’t forget chargers for all your devices, a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated while out and about, and a backpack or day bag for any local excursions. For those with a keen interest in birdwatching or admiring distant hills and castles, binoculars are a splendid addition.
Are There Any Items People Often Forget?
Make sure you have all necessary travel documents, such as IDs, booking confirmations, and insurance papers. It’s also wise to have a list of local emergency contacts, including the nearest medical facilities, just in case.
Fancy a Round of Golf?
As our guests at Percy Wood Holiday Park can enjoy complimentary access to the golf course, we encourage you to bring your own golf equipment. Having your personal clubs and gear can enhance your golfing experience in the stunning Northumberland landscape.

All our properties have fully equipped modern kitchens, giving you the freedom to prepare meals just the way you like. You’ll find major appliances like a fridge with freezer, stove, and oven, as well as smaller appliances like a microwave, coffee maker, or toaster. Essential cooking tools, pots, pans, utensils, dinnerware, and cutlery are all provided.
While local shops and restaurants offer delicious meals, don’t forget to bring some of your favourite spices, specialty foods, or dietary necessities to make dining in a personalised and comfortable experience during your stay. If you have a particular liking for a certain type of coffee or tea, it’s a good idea to bring some with you.
What About Books and Board Games?
