However, there were a few things that could be improved upon. The cottage generally was quite sparse with only the bare necessities left for us. I would recommend you provide the following to make guests' stays more enjoyable: - oil for cooking - coffee maker / cafetiere - cheese grater - more than 2 rolls of toilet paper - soap / shampoo / bubble bath/salts - ice tray
