Stocking up on linen, how much to buy?

Im buying a house in Scotland and taking over the airbnb. Im buying all my own laundry to save on costs on using a local linen contractor (for now anyway). But not sure how much to buy. The property is 4 bedrooms.  In terms of bedding, Im currently thinking of 3 of everything, 1 for the property, 1 in the cupboard as spares and 1 being washed. Im also allowing for this with towels, (on the basis of 1x bath towel, 1x hand towel and 1x wash cloth per guest). Does this sound about right? And does anyone have any recommendations for wholesale linen companies in the UK?

@Alexandra316  Why did I never think of that?  

Protect your linens from dust by storing them in a fabric-friendly container like a white fabric bag. But make sure you're also washing your fabric bags to make sure your linens are staying as fresh as possible. Go the extra mile by separating your sheets with acid-free paper to increase circulation.
