Loved the houses themselves - big, bright and spacious with lovely outside space, parking etc. Ideal for a large family like ours.
Our house (no. 21) seemed to lack some of the basic equipment that was in the other houses e.g. sweeping brush, dish drainer, small sharp knife/knives, kitchen scissors, adequate number of drinking glasses (especially wine glasses) and teaspoons etc.
Never thought to bring tea towels -would be good if that could be mentioned in the advance information. Also, oven gloves/pot holders - not something I would ever think to bring - should really be mentioned in advance.
Could have done with separate (kitchen) bin for recycling - would make it easier to separate rubbish and would encourage people to recycle more too.
A couple of lights weren't working (probably needed new bulbs.)
The markings on the dishwasher and cooker were very worn so they are very hard to read.
Same with the markings on the shower in the downstairs bathroom - impossible to see what was cold, hot etc.
The curtains and chair covers in the house seemed to be badly stained.
Didn't follow up on these things at the time as I only discovered them as the week went on. Also, we were able to borrow things from family members in other houses.
Finally, didn't realise until we were leaving that we had to empty bins ourselves - would have thought that would be done by cleaning staff.
Apologies for n0t sending you back details about things that were missing etc. before next group was in, but was too tired when I got home.
Despite the above, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.
