We stayed with three children, age 7, 4 and 5 months. We loved the beautiful scenery and flowers around the cottage, Hazel the dog, the chicken coop and walk around the pond. If you are staying with children, just bring your own pack and play it sleeping bags, a few books or puzzles and let your children enjoy the impressions such a lovely place makes! The basics of what you need are there, but not extras like an iron and board, extra baking dishes, etc. but certainly everything you need to have a pleasant stay. Lovely place!
