We provide few Nespresso pods upon arrival, as well as tea, however, we do not provide unlimited coffee and tea. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the necessary cooking utensils, plates, glasses, coffee / tea cups, pots and pans. If you like to cook, you will certainly enjoy this gourmet kitchen, especially our Mercer culinary knife set. The dining room table is a custom made solid oak table that comfortably sits 6 people and gives a rustic look to the house.

The kitchen has a wood burning fireplace which you can enjoy during cooler months. The whole house can be heated with wood from the fireplace which is connected to the radiators.

This bedroom has one Euro Queen bed size (160 x 200 cm) which fits 2 people. This bed lifts and has storage underneath. Around the bed, there is a curtain for privacy since this is shared space with living room and the office.
