The bread from the local bakery went down really well, thank you, and the pint of milk in the fridge was a nice touch. It would be really handy if there was salt and pepper available in the kitchen. Just those prefilled grinders you can get. It's not ideal having to go and buy them to use just for a few days. The shower room would benefit from having a towel ring/hook/rail by the sink for a hand towel. There is nowhere to hang towels in the upstairs toilet! A freestanding towel rail in there would be really beneficial. Although our kids were showering on the floor below, their wet towels were up on the top floor and needed somewhere to hang.
