Catherine is such a warm host! Having prepared particularly yummy cornflakes and milk and mineral water for us when we arrived on the first day, she saved us a trip to go out in the bad weather. You might think next: where are the utensils? No worries. All kinds of utensils seem to be there whenever you're thinking you'll need them, be it the utility knife, can-opener, winged corkscrew, even tomato knife. That should give you an idea how accommodating Catherine is!
Personally, the best part is the little snack in the cookie jars that remind us the days we were going home dashing to the kitchen after school when we were kids^^
