The neighbours at my holiday let are giving me the rage.

I've recently lost my parents and wanted to get away for some peace and quiet.

I've booked a self catering cottage deliberately chosen because it's right in the countryside. Lovely and quiet.

It's one of two. The neighbours are a group of 4 adults and 4 small kids.

I've been trying to relax in the garden and for the last 5 hours they've been shouting, laughing and being extremely noisy.

It's noisier than my neighbours at home.

AIBU to be irritated?

Are there nice country walks that you can access? Unfortunately it's your neighbours' holiday too, so they don't seem to be doing anything unusual or wrong.

Can you chat to them and find out if they have any plans to go out?

If it is daytime and they got up or went outside at 930am, seems reasonable. Assuming you are not on holiday with school age children, you could have chosen next week or a couple of weeks ago.

I think the school half term has been the same week at the end of May for at least 40 years, it's not a surprise.

It’s hard. Yes you should be able to enjoy the cottage but so should they. Hopefully they will do days out and you will get some peace. Could you go out for a bit?

Yabu. You should have booked somewhere on its own. People laughing and enjoying their holiday? Outrageous!
