Response from the manager Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that your experience with Kingask was not satisfactory. Linens are in fact supplied but towels are only supplied if added as an extra when you make your booking, some clients prefer to bring their own. Sypsies cottage is one of our most popular houses and this is the only bad review we have ever had for the property. Once again we apologise that your stay was not as you wished but we have taken your comments on board.
