The room was clean, stylish, and comfortable. Valentine and John clearly take a lot of pride in making a welcoming space.
They did, however, host a birthday party while we were there, and they only gave us about 24 hours' notice of it - not enough time to realistically change our plans. At 11:00, there was still loud music and over 20 guests, and it continued for at least a couple hours later at a lower volume. So it certainly could have been worse, but it was still a real disruption.
They were apologetic the next day, and based on how they were the other three days, I'll believe that this isn't a common thing for them. But they still put us in a hard spot. We wouldn't have stayed with them if we'd known about this, and even one more day's notice would have given us way more options.
