Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited room count — With only 10 rooms, availability may be tight, and the property may feel less like a full-scale hotel.
- Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 17:00, which may not suit late arrivals.
- No pets allowed — Guests travelling with pets will need to look elsewhere, as the property prohibits them.
- Guest rating is high but not perfect — While the overall rating is strong at 9.0, the 'Value' category is slightly lower at 9.0, and few reviews mention minor issues.
