Posting on , Anya shared her confusion at the unexpected note, but has left many totally divided.
Alongside her clip, the content creator wrote: “Am I a Karen for thinking this? I myself and have never had issues, considering it’s a toddler based event I wasn’t expecting this.”
As she held up the paper note, the young woman then said: “I’m staying in Minehead and I woke up in the morning to a letter on my door from my neighbours, so I’m going to tell you guys all about it and please let me know your opinions on this.
“This was at my door when I woke up before 8am, sellotaped…Who brings Sellotape to Butlin’s? I can’t help but be impressed with that.”
Following this, Anya added: “Just hoping this wasn’t put on my door in the middle of the night because my toddler did randomly wake up not long after he went to bed so I’m hoping they didn’t knock on his window at like 11pm.”
Anya proceeded to read out the slightly , which started: ‘Hi, I knocked a few times today but you weren’t in. Sorry to have to ask, but please can you keep the music down tonight?’
The letter went on to read: ‘Last night it was very loud, we could hear it very clearly and it kept us awake for hours as it was on loop all night.
‘I don’t think the walls and ceilings and floors are very thick. Thank you so much.’
Reflecting on the tone of the note, Anya explained: “So this message was said quite nicely so I don’t really have an issue, but it does kind of come across like I was blasting music throughout the night.
“I genuinely didn’t think the letter was for me when I opened it at first.”
Hitting back at her Butlin’s neighbour, the acknowledged: “However, we are in not a five star . You are going to hear noise.
“I always hear people above me and it wakes me up, but like, this is also a Tots festive weekend event in Butlin’s and the letter seems like it’s been written by people who don’t have .
“If you have a toddler, you are going to fall asleep to a bit of lullabies or – it isn’t going to keep you up all night, and if you have young children, it’ll probably soothe them to as well.
I’m not out to annoy people. But yeah, I was not expecting that at my door before 8am

“This is an event for toddlers so you are probably going to hear a lot of white noise or in rooms.”
But Anya recognised that from just one room away, she “couldn’t hear” her son’s music, so was “quite surprised” that her could.
Not seeing an issue with playing her son’s music throughout the night, Anya continued: “I think it’s a very natural thing to do to have lullabies or white noise on wherever you are for your .”
The Top Five Reasons Neighbours Squabble
One study by Compare the Market revealed the top reason British neighbour's argue
- Broken fences – top of the board was broken fences and whose responsibility it was to fix it
- Parking: one of the leading drivers of neighbour disputes, with 54.1 per cent of people having issues with people parking in front of their house, parking bay or driveway
- Trees – complaints about a neighbour’s tree cracking your garden path was also common with nearly half of participants finding it frustrating
- Bin wars – outdoor bin etiquette continues to ignite the most furious debates between neighbours
- Nosy Neighbours – some people have their eyes and ears at the ready to have a peek causing problems for others
However, eager to keep the peace, the mother reflected: “Obviously I won’t be playing this tonight, I’ll just play it on my phone quietly and then turn it off.
“I’m not out to annoy people. But yeah, I was not expecting that at my door before 8am.”
Big divide
Anya’s clip, which was posted under the username @ aniellarose , has left users divided by the note – while some thought it was “unhinged,” others could see why music would “annoy” someone on a holiday.
One user gasped: “This is so unhinged, what level of entitlement leads a person to do this?!”
A second agreed: “You’re a better person than me Anya. I would have played it twice as loud the next night.”
The accommodation at Butlin’s is not the best quality, so whilst I think white noise shouldn’t be an issue, I’m sure you can appreciate why it may annoy someone else

Whilst someone else explained: “Oh how they’d hate my household. As much as I can see the note was kind, they need to remember it’s a . White noise, TVs, noise in general are going to happen!”
But at the same time, one person slammed: “Music shouldn’t be played in rooms after 10pm.”
Another added: “The is not the best quality, so whilst I think white noise shouldn’t be an issue, I’m sure you can appreciate why it may annoy someone else.”
Meanwhile, someone else chimed in and asked: “I’m confused so did you have music on all night on a loop?”
To this, Anya replied and confirmed: “I realised I didn’t explain it well. I had a sound machine on with for my toddler.
“It wasn’t loud but I didn’t realise the walls were so thin you could hear it as I hardly could.”
