Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Some rooms face a main road — One guest mentioned a view of the main road that was 'a bit noisy', so light sleepers may want to request a quieter room.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is available only between 13:30 and 23:30, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
- No pets allowed — The guest house does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements for your furry companions.
- No amenities beyond the basics — While rooms have Wi-Fi, tea/coffee, and TV, there is no gym, pool, or in-house restaurant beyond breakfast.
