No welcome pack was disappointing but I guess that's the margins of a corporate outfit rather than privately owned property. The recommended delivery service only delivers on Fridays and weekends which for a midweek break is not terribly helpful, thankfully we'd ordered from Tesco for delivery. ##### ed j.
