Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in window is short — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 20:00, which may be tight if your travel plans are uncertain. Late arrivals are not accommodated.
- No pets allowed — The guest house does not permit pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if travelling with an animal.
- Some rooms have shared bathrooms — The Budget Double Room and standard Double Room do not list a private bathroom, so you may need to book the Private Bathroom Double Room for en-suite facilities.
- Room ratings vary — While cleanliness and comfort are generally praised, the rooms and cleanliness category scores 8/10, slightly lower than dining and location, suggesting some variability.
