Another piece of homework

Hey guys!

Maybe I'm overposting right now, but I have to post a rewritten piece of homework we had to write a week ago. 
The text is a letter. Or, more detailed, it's a 'House Swap Letter'. In the letter I pretend that I'm going to do a 'house swap' with strangers. This is why they need to have some information how to get to our house and so on. So, the following part is what I wrote. (It's already rewritten)

Dear Marcella,
Thank you for your letter. My family and I are really looking forward to coming to your house! As promised I am sending you all the details you may need to know about our place.

Let me start by telling you how to get there. When you arrive in Ternberg, you need to turn right immediately after the police station. After about one and a half kilometres, you will come to a crossroads. Turn left and again follow the road. It's a pretty rural area, so don't be surprised if there doesn't seem to be much action. When you see a chapel and a fire station slow down a bit; otherwise, you might miss the small path one the left that leads to our house. Follow the path –the first house on the left is ours. You can park your car in our garage. You need a code to open the garage. The code is 4367. I suggest saving the code in your phone in case you forget it as you won't be able to get into the house otherwise. I will hide the keys for the front door in a flowerpot next to the front door.

As I told you our house is a little farmhouse. Please look after our animals! Do you have experience in handling horses? If so, you are allowed to go horse riding. Our horses are fed fresh hay. This is already prepared and only need to be fed to them.

We also own some cats and have bought some extra milk and cat food for them. Buying food for our cats is nothing you need to care about. There is plenty in the base cabinet in our kitchen. Please feed them two times per day and mix the milk with a bit of warm water. I suggest you feed them every morning and evening as they are already used to it.

If you need anything, there are some shops in the city centre. If you want to buy some bread, then you are best going to Kleindl. There are also a couple of supermarkets where you can buy your food. If you want to see the beautiful countryside, you are best hiking up the “Schoberstein” which is a small mountain in Trattenbach, a neighbour village of Ternberg. If you would like to eat out, I can recommend a restaurant that is called “Derfler’s”. They serve very good food there, but I have to warn you – it is a bit pricey. If you want to go out at night and have some fun, you should go dancing in one of our pubs. There is also a well-known discotheque called “Monte” where famous DJs spin the discs.

If there is anything else you need or if you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch!
Regards,
Michaela
