Only comments being, I have used used bookabach often, never had the expectation to empty dishwasher before leaving, usually fill and leave runing on leaving. Also feel you should get one rubbish bag included in your fee, not take it with you, should be part of cleaning fee. Would use again, great host contact 👍 ##### lynn C.

The house is cute and cosy and suited us perfectly when we were hanging out after a busy day out and about. The trees around the property add to the beauty and really encourage the local bird life to visit which was awesome to see. The beach was a conveniently short walk away and the shops didn't take long at all to drive to. Averil was nothing but a pleasure to talk to and communicate with and really made the effort to make sure our stay was a good experience which was all very appreciated.
