Or one guesthouse and a studio for artsyfartsy stuff, or a guesthouse and a tiny restaurant, not that I'm much of a cook but I've found someone in the area who loves organic cooking but doesn't have any room for guests. Anyway, It's quiet, green, flowery and it has a glorious pond. Had a meeting with the current owner today for a viewing and I instantly fell in love with the whole scenery, plus, the place just breathes tranquility. Yay.
Good luck, Melissa, and all the very best in your new venture. PM me if you need any suggestions. I know nothing about running a guesthouse or even simple cooking, but I went through the mill and I am aware of the "loneliness" and the "fear" of going on your own. And don't worry about losing your friends because new ones will always turn up.
