Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 20:00, so if your arrival is later than 8 PM, you'll need to make alternative arrangements.
  • No pets — The property does not allow pets, so travelling with animals isn't possible here.
  • Parking costs extra — One reviewer notes on-site parking is available for 13 GBP per day, so factor that into your budget if you're driving.
  • Checkout starts early — Checkout is from 07:00 to 10:00, which is fine for early departures but might feel rushed if you like a leisurely morning.
