Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms feel dated — Some guests mention the decor is showing its age, though it remains clean and comfortable.
- Limited on-site dining — The restaurant and bar receive low satisfaction scores, and breakfast is a paid extra – not included in the rate.
- No parking on site — There is no dedicated parking, so guests arriving by car may need to find street parking or a nearby car park.
- Small property, basic amenities — With just 15 rooms, the hotel has a limited range of facilities compared to larger properties, and some rooms are compact.
