Inadequate kitchen equipment in holiday accommodation.

Definitely complain. When we did holiday lets there was everything holidaymakers needed and as we cleaned up ready for the next arrivals, we checked everything was still there. Often things were pinched - weirdly often kitchen scissors.

Leave an honest review too.

It’s not uncommon sadly.

We have a 5⭐️ rated holiday let.

It’s equipped to bake a cake, make a Sunday roast etc, the knife block is self sharpening the pans cost an arm and a leg , the coffee machine, toaster and kettle are all Dualit and we have a glass for every drink known to man!

It cost a lot to equip it but the reviews have made it all worth it.

So many lets are full
Of dead relations old stuff and charity shop tat.

Complain directly to the holiday company or owners.

I would say something to the owners. If they are advertising their holiday let with a fully equipped kitchen then you are well within your rights to expect to find utensils and cooking paraphernalia available to use. You shouldn't have to defrost the freezer either.
If the owners are not forthcoming I would be leaving an honest review on their site after your holiday.

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??
