In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Check-in window is tight — Check-in runs from 14:00 to 18:00 only, so plan your arrival carefully or arrange with the property in advance.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this guest house can't accommodate them.
  • Breaking into the historic centre — The location is central but sits on a busy through-street, so street noise may carry into the rooms.
