In brief
What works, what to weigh
+

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Short check-in window — Check-in is only available between 15:00 and 16:00. If your arrival time is flexible, this is fine, but it does require planning if you’re coming from the airport or a long journey.
- Early check-out window — Check-out is between 07:00 and 10:00, which may be earlier than some guests expect for a leisurely morning. The team does appear accommodating if you need to leave earlier, based on one review mentioning a takeaway breakfast.
- No on-site parking or pets — There is no parking listed, and pets are not allowed. Guests arriving by car will need to arrange parking nearby, and those travelling with pets should look elsewhere.
