About this property

We left after 2 nights of the 3 due to the noise from the garage next door. We sleep with windows open and the noise stopped us sleeping. On the second night there was a delivery to the shop at the garage at 5.00am which went on for half an hour at least with pallets crashing off the back of a large lorry. You map makes it appear the cottage is further away from the garage which is very misleading, instead of the actual 5 ish metres.
