However, the simple touches like resources and better communication could be better. We were asked by the guest book to strip the bedding on our departure for example and put it in the laundry basket, yet we couldn't find any, however we have looked. There weren't enough supplies of toilet tissues either and ended up buying our own. The same applied to kitchen towels or wet towels where there were only few left. We didn't mind to put the cottage as we found it but would appreciate on our holiday to supply with resources to do the job at least. Also, being it a farm it advertised in the guest book, guests could purchase fresh eggs, but was told there weren't any due to owner having family members visitors and that she'll let me know the next day. I didn't receive any notification. Small touches like that would make a big difference to the overall satisfaction.

The hot tap in downstairs bathroom is loose. The skirting board on entrance to living room is rotten with a hole in it. Upstairs bathroom small light above mirror isn't working. Downstairs bathroom smells a bit of mould. Apart from these little things we enjoyed our stay.
