In brief

+

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Dining scores lower than other areas — Guests rated dining at 6/10, which is the weakest category, so the breakfast may not meet everyone's expectations.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 20:00, which could be tight for late arrivals; online check-in may help, but it's not guaranteed for all.
- No pets allowed — The property is pet-free, so you'll need to make other arrangements if travelling with an animal.
- Parking may not be on-site — There is an on-site car park listed, but also an off-site option, which may mean limited spaces or extra steps.
