Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site dining — The guesthouse doesn't have a restaurant, so you'll need to head out for meals — though nearby eateries are mentioned.
- Small rooms — Rooms are described as 'small' in several categories, which may feel tight if you're used to more space.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight would need alternative plans.
- No pets allowed — Travellers with pets will need to look elsewhere.
