We thought Margaret’s cottage and garden was even nicer than the ad, and she very kindly left some biscuits for us on arrival which was a lovely touch. We stayed at Beeline for a week, so the cottage was a good value stay for this length of time.
We had some specific requests around covid (for the stay to be as contactless as possible etc to avoid in-person interactions) as we stayed around the time of peak omicron, and unfortunately this aspect wasn’t accommodated as well as we’d hoped. Our well-intentioned host entered the space unmasked rather than the contactless check-in arranged, and on another occasion while we were out. There seemed to be a bit of a communication breakdown that followed our requests, with responsiveness via airbnb message dropping off.
On another note, Margaret helped us to be able to recycle and compost at her place, which was fantastic and a nice change - can be a challenge while on the road!
Overall was a lovely stay despite some tensions amid these strange times, and would recommend to others, particularly where you enjoy an interactive host experience. Thanks again!
