we are thinking of having NO children under the age of 12 as guests but still allowing pets.Our thinking is influenced by........ we have 2 kids at home over the age 12 and 3 pets...a small dog, a cat and a homing pidgeon that has adopted us(all UNDER the age of 12). The turnkey that we are in the early stages of negotiation is a grand 120 yr old very solid 2 story building (think French quarter New Orleans) with 18 rooms that would be reduced to 10 as we intend to accommodate ourselves in 1/4 of the facility. As part of our due diligence we stayed as guests for 3 nights including a weekend (obviously the busiest time). Now this is a tourist destination with harbour and beaches within 5 mins walk, lots of people about and low speed traffic but the only noise that bothered us was the patter of little feet running up and down the stairs and along the long outside balconies servicing 6 of the rooms(the rooms inside are quiet)
There's more. 2 rooms have a seperate little court yard which is fenced off from the main guest areas. So we would feel ungracious ....firstly if we did not allow travelling animals (we would be the only accomodation in this tourist area offering this and secondly we find teenagers fairly quiet with their "mobile offices" and the area being so walkable but very safe. Any thoughts please? JJ
