Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Small property — There are just nine rooms, so availability can be limited and the experience is more intimate than a big hotel.
  • No on-site parking — Parking is not provided, which may be tricky for guests arriving by car.
  • Check-in windows are tight — Check-in is only from 13:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals past midnight may struggle.
  • Mixed reviews on value — While most guests praise value, one review rated 6.4, suggesting occasional lapses in either comfort or expectations.
