My husband and I stayed here for two nights with our two small children. We had a great time at Mary's place. It was just the right distance for us to go do and see lots of things! Noise wasn't a problem, but we did use white noise machines. We did a lot of home cooking, and there were plenty of pots/pans/trays etc. to use in the kitchen. Be aware that the bathroom door doesn't lock, which our kids definitely took advantage of. Mary was enormously helpful when our travel plans changed and was very responsive and flexible! We would definitely book again!
