Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 18:00, so you'll need to plan your arrival accordingly.
- Small property, few rooms — With just six rooms, availability can be tight during busy periods, and there is no large-scale service.
- No pets allowed — If you're traveling with a dog or cat, this isn't the place—the policy is strictly no pets.
- Not all rooms have private bathrooms — Certain room types, like the Small Double, may share facilities, which might not suit everyone.
- Price point for the size — At £170 per night, some travelers might find it pricey for a small guesthouse, though the breakfast and parking add value.
