Cooking pots and pans were very greasy, everything had to be washed before we could use it. Only 2 tea towels and half a roll of paper towel provide for our 4 day stay. The property was very cosy and warm especially with the fireplace and ample firewood, and if these important aspects (showers and cooking) weren't an issue it would have ...
