We had all the necessities/equipment required. There was a welcome package of scones, jam and cream upon our arrival along with fresh flowers which was a nice touch. The parking was a bit tricky, as one car was an EV and the cable was short requiring much 'maneuvering' to charge. Overall a great location, house and holiday.
