"Location is far from any amenities which was ok for us as we knew this in advance and have a car. Often there is a nice trade off between amenities and peace and quiet, but there are lots of dogs on properties around the house, that bark mindlessly when someone walks past, making it not very peaceful. Some people are used to this and might not mind at all. Others..."
