Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — The property doesn't accommodate pets, so travelers with animals will need to make other arrangements.
  • Limited breakfast variety — While breakfast is praised, one guest noted only cereal and fresh fruit were available, which may not suit those expecting a full cooked spread daily.
  • Check-in window may be tight — Check-in is only between 07:00 and 23:30, so late arrivals after midnight wouldn't be accommodated.
  • No on-site parking — Parking is public and nearby rather than private, which could mean extra steps or limited availability during busy periods.
