    Going back to the fridge point. Years ago we bought a Coolbox with a 12v transformer. When you're travelling it's plugged into the car. When you get to the hotel you use the transformer. The coolbox has a fan on it which you can hear at night but's it's never stopped us sleeping.

    Just get a tub of powdered milk and make it up as you need it.

    I just found out now you have to pay a £20 deposit to hire the fridge then you get it back at the end of your stay. A big wopping £20 could go towards something else whilst there so probably wont bother.
