Despite what one reviewer said the car park is not that far away for unloading/loading the car. Yes you can hear the folk upstairs walking about but it was no where near as bad as some reviewers have said. So handy for the Town with the co-op about a minutes walk away. Excellent cottage

As mentioned in other reviews, take ear plugs and an eye mask, the noise from upstairs is very intrusive and the curtains are thin.
