Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 16:00 to 19:00, which may be tight for travellers arriving later in the evening.
  • Early check-out — Guests must leave by 09:00, which is earlier than many hotels and could be inconvenient for relaxed mornings.
  • No pets allowed — The policy is clear: pets are not permitted, so it's not a suitable option for those travelling with animals.
  • Parking is nearby, not on-site — While parking is available, it's described as nearby rather than at the property, so guests should plan for a short walk with their car.
