Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Comfort level could be better — The comfort rating is lower than other categories at 7.6, suggesting some guests may find the bedding or room furnishings less plush.
- Limited facilities — Facilities score 8.1, and the property does not list amenities like a gym, pool, or restaurant – it's a simple B&B experience.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place – the property explicitly states no pets are allowed.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 23:00, so if you arrive later than 11 PM, you'll need to make alternative arrangements.
