Worth weighing
5 to weigh- No pets allowed — If you plan to travel with a dog or cat, this isn't the place — the hotel operates a strict no-pets policy.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 20:00. If you're arriving later, you'll need to make alternative arrangements — worth confirming with the hotel in advance.
- Room-only basics at entry level — The standard Double Room comes with heating but no private bathroom or shower, so you may prefer to pay more for a room with private facilities.
- Parking is nearby, not on-site — Private car parking is available close by, but it's not directly at the hotel, so you may need to carry luggage a short distance.
- No smoking throughout — The hotel is entirely non-smoking, which may be a drawback for smokers, although there may be outdoor garden furniture.
