Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Limited room count — With only six rooms, availability may be tight, and the intimate scale means fewer on-site facilities than larger hotels.
- No on-site parking or pet accommodation — The hotel does not offer parking and does not allow pets, which could be a constraint for guests traveling by car or with animals.
- Check-in window ends at 22:00 — Guests arriving later than 22:00 may need to coordinate. One review mentions staff staying late for a delayed arrival, but the official window is strict.
