Jul 25, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Bachcare Stephanie at bach care was brilliant. Communicated promptly and was very helpful. The Bach itself had everything you need and was clean. The Bach took sometime to heat up even though plenty of heaters and a fireplace there. Maybe nobody had been in for a while . It was built in the 50’s and possibly uninsulated. However, beautiful views and would be an amazing summer Bach. ##### Carol W.
