I believe the answer is:

hermits

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'people seeking peace and quiet' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'the mrs and i disturbed' is the wordplay.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'disturbed' is an anagram indicator (the order of letters is disturbed).
'the'+'mrs'='themrs'
'themrs' put after 'i' is 'ithemrs'.
'ithemrs' is an anagram of 'HERMITS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hermits that I've seen before include "They retire from society for religious reasons" , "Solitary dwellers" , "They live in solitude for religious reasons" , "People who live in solitude" .)
