While we did not use the kitchen it did look fully equipped. Lots of storage in the bathroom and the bed and pillow options were good. Lovely view from the room that would have benefitted from clearer skies. Beamish the black lab was a joy as was watching the chickens running around the property. Can defnitely recommend.
