Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Small property, limited staff — With only six rooms, the guest house has a small scale, which may mean fewer on-site services than larger hotels.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is only available between 14:00 and 22:00, which could be inconvenient for late arrivals.
- No pets allowed — The property does not permit pets, which may be a deal-breaker for travellers with animals.
