Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Some service inconsistencies — While staff are generally praised, a few reviews indicate that service can be variable, with one guest mentioning a less positive experience.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 20:00, which may be inconvenient for arriving late in the evening.
- Small property with 18 rooms — The guest house is compact, which could mean limited common areas and less anonymity, though it also allows for more personal attention.
- Public parking is not on-site — Parking is available nearby, but not directly at the property, so guests with cars may need to plan for a short walk or extra cost.
