Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Check-in runs only from 15:30 to 21:00, so guests arriving late need to plan ahead or make arrangements.
- No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so it won't suit travellers with animals.
- Compact rooms and few extras — With just seven rooms, this is a small operation, and some guests noted the lack of a fridge, extra storage and coffee in the room. One reviewer found the space compact while still appreciating its character.
