Coming late to this thread - sorry OP. We are obviously European too and the whole thing baffled us - what was especially baffling is that we had a split stay and things that we offered money for at OKW were refused (very charmingly) and yet were consistantly accepted at POR - maybe it was just coincidence?
We left money for housekeeping everyday - though this is unheard of in the UK (they would think it was some sort of honestly test), anyway we had to ask for a few things and ask them to leave the living room beds down and madeup etc so we tipped as we thought we were being a difficult family.
I would never tip a grocery delivery - they might get a fiver at Christmas like the postman/milkman but not the general weekly shop.
