Airbnb neighbours who don't seem to matter

I live in the centre of a triple divided cottage with two toddlers who are randomly noisy, and surprisingly 🧐sometimes (not regularly) noisy very late at night. I've lived in this part of the cottage for years with no problems from neighbours, before a single (rich bachelor) bought the other side of the house and knew that there was a young family (us) next door. He's set up an Airbnb business in his new home nextdoor and is giving us hell for being a young family, as the random, impossible to control family living noise is 'affecting his business'. I respect any noise issues and understand that we all need to respect our neighbours; however, our other neighbour has never had a problem, but this new one treats us like errant staff. AIBU for being furious that I have to tiptoe around my own home so my neighbour gets a good effing Airbnb review????

Whilst it is possible to get mortgages for holiday rental properties, they are more difficult to find and are more expensive.

That's why many Airbnb owners mortgage on a normal buy to let mortgage (ie one permanent tenant) or even worse a residential mortgage. Given that mortgage rates have gone up his mortgage lender would be happy to find a reason to pull his mortgage.

If it a breach of the mortgage terms and conditions they will certainly take notice or at the very minimum ask for a switch to a more appropriate (and expensive) mortgage product.

I'm well aware it's a breach, but it's not like he has a residential on a BTL and I very much doubt if the mortgage payment is being covered that they will care.

They really wouldn't "be happy" too pull his mortgage, surely if he is paying a mortgage at whatever rate, they're earning more than if he moved his mortgage elsewhere?

BTL lenders, don't tend to be holiday let lenders.
