So this might sound like a ridiculous question but do I need to take bath towels?? We are obviously taking beach towels but is there usually bath towels provided? Also there is a dish washer. Will they provide a couple of tablets or should I take some??

We are staying in a self catering apartment and all these last minute things have come to me.. I'm usually in a hotel abroad and don't think of these things 😂

Any other last minute things or essentials i may not have thought of??!

I always take beach towels and if there are bath towels save those for actual baths and showers. Everyone saying the beach towels are the same yes but after a day at the beach ours are not fit for a shower so then until washed and dried it’s not unreasonable to want some other clean ones. Take lots of you have space!
I always take a few dishwasher/washing tabs and a few condiments also tea and coffee and a small milk.
We went to the highlands this year and after 10 hours of driving not even a small jug of milk in the fridge which I thought was a bit mean.

We usually get a food shop ordered to come that first night and I'll always get
Bin bags
Foil (for lunches)
Washing up liquid
Washing powder + softener
Cleaning spray
Kitchen roll
Toilet roll

We go for the inexpensive versions and leave what we don't use.

I also get most of the toiletries delivered and we come by trian (not car) but as a family we share the same toothpaste, soap, shampoo and conditioner etc so we use most if it in the week anyway or bring leftovers home with us.

Always take beach towels but have never bothered with bath towels. Guess we've been lucky?

We go tomorrow!! Can't wait.

Have a lovely trip OP.
