–
Worth weighing
5 to weigh- No pets allowed — The hotel's policy is no pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements for travelling with an animal.
- Small property, limited capacity — With only 10 rooms, availability may be tight for large groups or last-minute bookings, and on-site facilities are minimal.
- Early check-out — Check-out is at 10:00, which is earlier than many hotels – something to plan for if you prefer a slow morning.
- Some rooms lack a private bathroom — The Single Room with Private External Bathroom is available, but if you're booking that room, be aware the bathroom is not en-suite.
- Value rating lower than service — While still solid at 8.3, the value score is lower than rooms and service, suggesting some guests may find the price high for the offering.
