Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Very small property — With only 13 rooms, the hotel may lack the facilities of larger properties – there is no fitness centre or spa, and communal spaces are limited.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which may be a consideration for those travelling with animals.
- Check-in only until midnight — The check-in window is 14:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals are not accommodated.
- Limited room categories — Only one room type (Twin Room) is listed, suggesting the hotel may not offer a wide range of configurations, such as family suites.
