Will always return . A few pointers May help to have a mat on entrance as gap under door means lot of sand hoppers get in on an evening and create quite the investation. A mattress topper would help for comfort on the bed . Also in winter to be provided with some wood for fire as the storage heaters donât keep it very warm . Help to have a large frying pan in kitchen .
