We had everything we needed to enjoy our stay at the loft except, for some reason, a frying pan. I appreciate we could have asked for one but we were only there for a short stay. My other complaint is that I did not like the stairing up to the loft from outside. When it was wet it was slippery and so when carrying anything in our hands we didn't feel very safe on them. The location was good for us and we enjoyed our stay
