    The house had everything you needed and plenty of kitchen equipment. You definitely need a car for travelling around as this is in the middle of the country side. The owner was great and contacted to make sure we were enjoying our stay. The house needs a little bit work here and there but overall was lovely. Thanks for a great stay!
