Chas and Em were great hosts, and the extra touches (food, wine, instructions, restaurant recommendations) were really highly appreciated. The listing does mention THE TRAIN that comes right past the back of the house - but it was still a bit of a surprise the first few times it went by (which actually wasn't all that often, and thankfully not all night). And we did have another guest staying in the room next door who snored quite loudly and talked in his sleep, so be warned that the walls are a bit thin. It's an old house with a lot of charm and character. It's certainly not 'luxury accommodations' but overall quite comfortable - and a great price.
