The house needed more mugs, and in fact i bought 6 additional mugs and left then behind as well as two new tea towels. My gift to Aggie! I threw the oven glove in the washing machine, as i suspect that it had never been washed. Also, the Toaster has seen better days. It was not clean and should be replaced. We would have appreciated a clothes horse. Sure we hung washing on the line, but given that this is Ireland, a clothes horse would be a great addition. We aired clothes in the entrance porch as it was such a warm spot. I understand that there is a tumble drier in the house, but these are environmentally unfriendly! We did succumb to using it, but this was only in exteme circumstances. Other than that the house suited our needs for the week we spent there.
