Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 16:00 to 20:00, which may be tight if you arrive later in the evening.
  • Strict early check-out — Check-out is between 08:00 and 11:00, so you'll need to be up and out by mid-morning.
  • No pets and no smoking — The property does not allow pets or smoking anywhere on site, which may be a drawback for some guests.
  • Small property — With only 10 rooms, availability can be limited and you won't find on-site facilities like a gym or restaurant.
