The welcome Access was the no-drama, modern-country kind: a lockbox code sent out ahead of our arrival and an uncomplicated self-check-in. But the stay was certainly not impersonal given that, within an hour of our arrival, owner Claire came to say hi face to face, swapping a couple of functionalities for local suggestions and providing us insights into the history of their former home. A small gesture but one that leaves you feeling that the owners care and are on hand if you require.
