Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only possible between 15:00 and 20:00, which may be tight if you arrive later than planned. You'll need to arrange your travel accordingly.
- Compact rooms in some cases — A few guests note that rooms can be compact, particularly the double with a shared bathroom, so space may be limited if you're travelling with large luggage.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this isn't the place – the property has a strict no-pets policy.
- Not for night owls — Check-out is at 10:00, which is standard for a B&B but means a fairly early start if you prefer a relaxed morning.
