Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Small property, limited rooms — With only 9 rooms, availability is limited and the experience is intimate rather than resort-like.
  • Check-in window is strict — Check-in is only from 14:30 to 21:30, which may not suit late arrivals.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Cash-only? No, but no on-site parking — There is no dedicated parking listed, though one guest mentioned easy parking outside—likely street parking that may be limited.
