About

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Public parking rather than on-site — Parking is available nearby but not private to the B&B. Spaces are not guaranteed and may require a short walk, which could be a consideration for drivers.
- No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Mixed room ratings — Rooms score 8.7/10 overall, but some guests noted shared bathrooms in certain room types, and a few mentioned noise or heating adjustments. Check the specific room you book for en-suite facilities.
- Check-in window ends at 23:30 — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:30, so late-night arrivals may need to arrange access with the hosts in advance. The team is accommodating, but it's worth confirming timings.
