I booked this holiday for myself, my husband and two dogs looking forward to a quiet few days away, all though we had booked the cottage for a week we had to depart two days early due to work commitments so we intended to make the most of the peace and quiet.The cottage is very well equipped for a three star cottage and has everything you would need. However we did not realise we would be directly under the Gallery tea shop and could hear people walking about all day long. If you intend to be outdoors from 9:00-5:00 this would not be a problem however it ruined our restful \'holiday\'.When you were in the kitchen you could very clearly hear conversations from the family next door with children, as this was really a bed /sit arrangement it didn\'t leave a quiet room to escape to.
