Do you expect the host to provide towels?

I have a glamping place at home. This is my third year and I am wondering if we should make changes to how we host.

YABU - provide towels, it’s standard for this sort of thing.
YANBU - I usually expect to bring towels.

I usually do an order for eg the next 6 weeks/month of lettings. We have a two bed house and a yurt so I go through 6 sheets, 3 duvet covers, 12 pillowcases and 6 to 12 towels a week so I'd do a bulk order to make it worth their while and so I've got masses of stock. Even when I only have the yurt that's still a load of washing and the hire place are fine with smaller orders. I also don't have to worry about people who muddy up towels or get mascara on pillowcases!

Only thing I dont hire is the duvet covers and matching pillowcases. We have 3 sets of 3 and once I have one lot left I send it to a launderette who do a 6 hour turnaround of wash dry and iron.

Sound very sensible re the towels. I have a three set rotation too. I often throw the fitted bedsheet out when I can’t get the hairs etc out.
