We found everything we could need ( especially a electric beater for breakfast pancakes) . Nice to have radio in kitchen, felt homely. Beware the stairs are very steep !! There is underfloor heating downstairs but clearer instructions needed for upstairs heating . sadly too early in year for lig burner which looked lovely in kitchen. Mella and Christine are welcoming hosts ; the cottage is cosy and quiet, well placed for both village pubs and good base for exploring the area. Highly recommend a visit
