Des has a rather complete kitchen as we ate in a couple of evenings. The washer came in handy as we've been on the road for a week with only carry on bags. There were several supplies in the pantry to help with both the wash and cooking. Aldi is nearby so shopping was simple. Being from the US, we weren't familiar with the hot water process, but got it sorted out after a bit. One nice feature was the height of the bed so you could easily store out luggage under it. Our biggest issue was getting comfortable with 2 in the master double bed.
