Kitchen was extremely well equipped. Very welcome touches were the bottle of wine, bread, milk and eggs. There could have been a bit more kindling/matches for the fire and the toilet seat was a bit loose/wonky, light outside porch was dim and gate onto road was broken but these were only minor issues. Overall a great/memorable stay.
