Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only available between 14:00 and 22:00, which may be restrictive for late arrivals. Check-out is also early, from 08:00 to 10:00.
- No pets allowed — The guest house does not accept pets, so guests travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Small property, limited room variety — With only 13 rooms and three room types, availability can be tight, and the lack of an on-site restaurant or bar may not suit everyone.
- Basement rooms may vary — One guest staying in a basement room noted good water pressure, but not all rooms may offer the same experience—potential for less natural light or views.
