important. We open the door and windows, even in Winter, for a good hour or so,
whilst we are cleaning and hoovering, to freshen up the rooms really well. We’re sure

saves the occasional explosion of coffee over your tablecloth as a clumsy guest pushes
too hard or too fast! It’s often the small tips which are most worthwhile.
