Inadequate kitchen equipment in holiday accommodation.

This is a relatively expensive, 4 bed property, sleeps 8, very nicely done up, but…

The freezer was completely iced up on arrival, we couldn’t even open the drawers until dh had spent ages on it with pans of v hot water etc.

Not one induction-compatible, non stick frying pan for the induction hob. Dd made a lot of pancake batter for the Gdcs and was unable to use it. One v old, worn out ‘non stick’, one just non compatible, so useless.

Not one saucepan big enough to cook pasta for 8 - I had to use 2.
Not one very basic implement (not sure what they’re called) for lifting fried eggs out of the pan - we had to buy one.

Why are some holiday accommodation owners so stingy??

Amazonia then why not rent it out to long term residents?

I stayed in a couple of hostels in London last year and the kitchens were much better equipped than mine at home 😆

My daughter’s holiday let is extremely well equipped. If a guest had a complaint she would want to know, in order to rectify it straightaway. A bit trickier if you rent through a company but they are the agents, so complain to them.
Her holiday let was a garage. It cannot be rented out long term, Aveline..

This is a bit of a silly comment, Sparky51
If there are 2 hobs and two sets of pans, fair enough, but each pan uses up a ring you know.

If you are cooking for eight you will expect bigger pans.
