Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Relatively small property — As a guesthouse rather than a large hotel, the scale is intimate, which might not suit those expecting extensive facilities.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place.
- No on-site parking — There's no mention of parking, so guests arriving by car may need to arrange parking elsewhere.
- Check-in window may be restrictive — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 22:30, which might be inconvenient for late arrivals.
