Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Limited room types — Only two room types are offered – a standard triple and a family double. This may suit small families or couples, but not larger groups seeking more space.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not permit pets, which could be a drawback for those travelling with animals.
  • Check-in window is restrictive — Check-in is only available between 14:00 and 18:00, which may be inconvenient for guests arriving later in the evening.
  • Early check-out — Check-out is between 10:00 and 11:00, which is standard but may feel early for some guests wanting a leisurely morning.
  • Mixed reviews on some aspects — While most feedback is glowing, a few reviews rated the overall experience lower (7/10), suggesting that not every aspect meets the high standard others describe – possibly reflecting personal preferences.
