Margaret left a tin of shortbread and a hand-drawn map of the best coastal walks. We did three of them. We'll be back in autumn.

No fees, a proper conversation with the owner, and a cottage that looked exactly like its photos. Refreshingly old-fashioned.

I switched from a big platform last spring. Bookings are steady, the £100 fee paid for itself in week one, and I actually know my guests.
