Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Cleanliness inconsistency — While most guests found the property spotless, one review noted that the accommodation was spacious but dirty, suggesting housekeeping may vary.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only available between 15:00 and 23:30, which could be restrictive for very early or late arrivals.
- No pets allowed — Pets are not permitted on the property, which may be a drawback for travellers with animals.
- Some rooms share bathrooms — One room type is described as having a private shower room rather than a full en suite bathroom, so check room details carefully.
