Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in is limited to afternoon hours — Check-in runs from 14:00 to 18:00, so late arrivals may need to coordinate with the property.
- Potential street noise and dogs — The central location on the main street brings occasional noise – one guest mentioned barking dogs when entering or leaving.
- Small property with limited facilities — As a guesthouse, it has no pool or fitness centre, and only one room type is listed – a Deluxe Double Room.
- No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
