Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — Despite the description noting pet-friendly, the policies clearly state pets are not allowed. If you plan to travel with an animal, this isn't the place.
- Limited room count — With only six rooms, availability can be tight, especially during peak season. Booking ahead is advisable.
- Value rating is relatively moderate — While the overall rating is 8.1, the Value score sits at 7.6, suggesting some guests feel the price-to-experience ratio could be better.
- Check-in window is capped — Check-in is only available between 12:00 and 23:59. If you arrive late at night, you may need to arrange alternative plans.
