Home Comforts

During another sort-out of my collection of pointless cuttings, I found this paragraph from a gushing Observer  travel article:

    That's great. It's so self-effacing -- as if there is a real question as to whether the cabanas' inmates actually deserve these dreamed-of "Western loos."
