If you cant get the induction hob started we discovered that at least one of the pans wasnt conduction compatible, so beware. Fabulous rain effect showers, again though beware if you use the bath and its on the shower setting it will run down back of bath to the floor. Blind in the living room right window not fully opening and curtains in here and dining room would add cosiness. Wood burner worked great and starter wood pack and washing pods etc great addition.
