With a bus stop and bar/cafe outside the front entrance and a market square out the back, we expected it to be noisy but it wasn't. We had the windows open during the day and at night with the shutters down. The market square was lively during the day and into the early evening but quietened down early. There were all the facilities necessary for self-catering, which we used. However, there is plenty of choice to eat locally, both in Weingarten and a short bus ride away in Ravensburg. We didn't meet the owners but we knew they were on hand should we experience any problems. Sometimes it's just good to be left alone. It shows a certain trust.
