@Helen350 Hmm, it never occurred to me before that maybe I get hassle-free, really nice guests because I'm very clear that it's a 20 minute walk to town and the beach, and almost none of my guests arrive by car- they fly in and take the bus from airport to my town. I always thought the type of guests I got had more to do with it being a quiet countryside location, but maybe it's as much or more to do with them being people who don't mind a healthy walk. Many guests comment on the birds they saw on their walk, the newborn foal they saw in the field, the variety of butterflies, the local children who greeted them as they walked by and who they interacted with over the days they were walking back and forth. It enriches their experience in an unfamiliar place. Guests who drive seldom notice or experience these things. It's definitely true that outdoorsy folks are used to such things as insects, having to adapt to local conditions, sleeping on a camping foamie instead of always enjoying a luxurious bed, making do with a couple of pots and pans instead of a kitchen containing every appliance and implement you could possibly think of, so they tend not to be the sort of guests who would freak out if they saw a spider or a trail of ants, they aren't complainers, or behave in an entitled way.
