Worth weighing
3 to weigh- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with an animal, this isn't the place. The policy is firmly no pets on site.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 18:00. If you're arriving outside those hours, you'll need to plan ahead.
- Relatively small property — As a bed and breakfast, the scale is intimate. Don't expect large resort-style facilities, though the bar/lounge and on-site parking help.
