Eric, yes it was a great little spot for observing. Nice grassy areas, plenty of room. I didn't notice any light pollution, but I was tucked right up against the cottage, and the view to the north from about 45 degrees down was blocked by the trees. I only saw the objects in Leo and Cancer as they moved through a handy wide gap.

We were in the first cottage ... if and when we do it again, we'll go for the second one. Bit more secluded
