Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Not all rooms have kitchen facilities — While some guests had access to an electric kettle, fridge, and microwave, one review noted the absence of these in their room, so it may vary by room type.
- Shared bathrooms are basic — Rooms with shared bathrooms are described as simple but comfortable; some guests mention the bathroom cleanliness as 'fairly clean' rather than spotless.
- Limited seating on terrace — One guest loved the terrace but noted a lack of seating, which could be an issue during busy times.
- No on-site parking — Parking is not available at the property, so guests arriving by car need to arrange alternative options, though it didn't bother some visitors.
