Used as a base to explore the area. A welcome pack on what is around, emergency contact details would be useful. However there was a drawer of leaflets which we found by chance. The sharp knives had been put away wet and had rust marks on but were fine once scrubbed. It was nice to have a few dishwasher tabs and washing up liquid supplied. Just a few more wooden spoons for cooking would be useful. Very quiet place too. Thank you.
