Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Small room sizes for some — While rooms are well-regarded, at least one review notes a small room that was nonetheless well-organized. The Small King Room is named accordingly, so travelers seeking more space should consider the Deluxe King Room.
- Check-in window ends at 23:00 — Check-in is from 14:30 to 23:00. Guests arriving later in the evening may need to coordinate with the property, given the limited window.
- No pets allowed — The property does not permit pets, which may be a limitation for travelers with animals.
- Premium pricing — The price from £392 per night places this in a higher bracket, though the high value rating (9.1) suggests guests generally find it worth the cost.
- Limited parking information — Car park is listed among amenities, but no specific details on costs or availability are provided. Guests driving should confirm arrangements directly.
