Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 13:00 to 18:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not permit pets, so those traveling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Far from city center — While the rural setting is a draw, it means a 25-minute walk to the nearest park and a longer journey to city amenities.
  • Basic amenities in some rooms — The Large Double Room and Family Room do not list air conditioning or heating, which could be a comfort issue in extreme weather.
