Cottage de vacances confortable

We’re delighted to hear that the location was excellent and that the house was, in your words, “adequate.” We were also pleased to see that, despite the apparent shock of discovering that bed linen and towels aren’t automatically provided, you had actually already been informed of this and kindly confirmed, “Sounds great! We’ll need to hire the linens and towels then please.” So we’re relieved that the surprise didn’t prevent you from enjoying your stay. We are unsure what sparsely supplied means - a fully equipped kitchen with fridge, freezer, oven, hob, microwave, kettle, toaster, dishwasher, pots, pans, cutlery, glasses, etc., etc.. A living room with seating for five, dining area for five, smart TV, etc., etc.. Bathroom toilet, shower, wash basin. Bedrooms with beds, wardrobes, etc., etc.. Heating in every room. Parking. What else does one expect in a self catering cottage? A red carpet (we actually prefer our high quality flooring especially imported from Germany).
