Dark terracotta tiles cover the kitchen floor and new appliances such as separate clothes washer and dryer, dishwasher, large fridge freezer with ice and filtered water and anything you would sensibly require for a kitchen is available.

There is plenty of cutlery there are plates, glasses, mugs, dishes and cooking utensils also plastic plates and a few cups for kids. Kettle, toaster etc...

I keep the cupboards and freezer stocked with the basics (and more) and we ask all guests to keep a list of what has run out or become very low on 'their' holiday and to replace these items with the same or similar brands before they leave - eg ketchup, salt, tea, coffee, garlic, tinned tomatoes, frozen chips etc... In this way our guests are not required to invest in a 'huge first shop' as most of the stock items are already in place. We feel that this is a really good way to keep the kitchen stocked for everyone.

There is a large kitchen table covered by a Cath Kidston oil tablecloth that easily seats 6 and has additional leaves to seat 12 (it's definitely a push but I have done it before!)


Small print: Although we see the kitchen 'stocking' as a benefit we do not take responsibility for 'out of date', 'off' items or any other health and safety issues relating to foodstuffs. Please use your own judgement.

Ten minutes walk down our single track lane from the cottage climb a hill to see the view
