The building that The Pines Cottage accomodation is in, also houses the host’s business office, thus there is a reasonable amount of action around the accomodation. The accomodation is also very close to the host’s own dwelling, which we were aware of from the photos in the listing, so this was no surprise. However, what did surprise us was the party the hosts held on our first night, with the very loud music running for a number of hours. Their House Rules are very clear regarding noise: “noise can be heard between houses and disturbances will be taken very seriously”, but they did not take our requests to turn the music down seriously. The next morning we were told via message that “we don’t feel we need to apologise....you just happened to be here when we were celebrating.....” It may have been prudent to have blocked out their accomodation booking for the night of their party so we didn’t ‘just happen to be there’, or at the very least given us a heads-up.
