Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Some rooms lack windows — A few guests were initially assigned a room without windows, though the staff were quick to offer a switch when available.
  • Small property, limited public areas — Being a petite B&B, there is little communal space beyond the breakfast area; this may not suit travellers wanting large hotel facilities.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
