The cottage was lovely and the setting the garden etc The cottage was clean the rooms cupboards etc but when we moved the toaster it was obvious the worksurface had not been cleaned properly when we moved the toaster we found a heap of crumb sunder it and the inside of the the toaster was clogged with crumbs .. There was hardly any cleaning materials or equipment just one dirty dish cloth and one dirty flannel .There was no broom or mop just a dust pan and brush - The sauce pans were a bit worse for wear and one was dirty .The was the minimum of cutlery and china - just two mugs - 2 large plates 3 small plates - 3 soup bowls bowls - which made preparing food - difficult . no wooden spoon - no hand whisk. t was a great kitchen loads of cupboards - basically the cupboards were 'Bare!' - except for drinking glasses - there were lots of them !
