When you book self-catering accommodation sometimes you can be unsure of what is included in the price and what equipment is available when you get there.  There is nothing more annoying that leaving something behind that would have been really useful or lugging something away with you that is already there when you arrive.

This is a purely practical page compiled in response to frequently asked questions.  Hopefully this will help you decide if ecocabin is the place for you and, if it is, what to take with you and what to leave at home.
