You dont need to pack soap or blankets or anything. Very clean and not far from most of the sites and shops etc so a good base for your holiday. Only downside was it's bath over shower rather than a walk in but does come with bath matts. Harder to reccomend to older family members which is the reason for mentioning as it was quite a drop out of it. The shower itself was high pressure and lovely. You could walk out the courtyard to a grassy lane with a dog poo bin which I was impressed with. Great cottage in a great location.
