Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Breakfast is not universally praised — While many guests enjoy the breakfast variety, a few reviews note it as merely okay, suggesting expectations should be moderate.
  • No on-site fitness or pool — The B&B does not list a gym, spa, or swimming pool, so guests seeking those facilities will need to look elsewhere.
  • Check-in window is narrow — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:30, which may be restrictive for late arrivals, despite the 24-hour reception.
