We loved the old cottage, the quirky art and antiques and the private courtyard. It was very clean and well appointed. There was some noise with a band playing along the road one day, but they closed on time as advertised, and if you had your own music playing you wouldn't notice it so much, or maybe you could go along and join in - you could easily check local papers for any event like this. We also very much enjoyed being able to pop next door to the cafe for an early morning coffee - no noise issues with that. Generally it was a very restful space. Bob was a great host to communicate with. We would go back very happily.
