Lovely house

Wonderful house, lovely fire, we appreciated the supply of wood and the fact the fire was lit when we arrived! Our only feedback was that The shower tap heat controller needs to be replaced, as it's difficult to turn (especially for kids) and only 1 toilet roll was supplied - more would be appreciated, thanks.
