Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Very limited room count — With only nine rooms, availability is tight, and the hotel may feel intimate – or cramped – depending on your preference.
  • Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 22:00, so late arrivals need to plan accordingly.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accommodate pets, which may be a drawback for those travelling with animals.
  • Some reviews are lukewarm — A couple of guests rated their stay 6/10, one noting only the decor and another mentioning family appeal without enthusiasm.
