Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in is limited to a 4-hour window — Check-in runs from 17:00 to 21:00, so you'll need to time your arrival, especially after extended travel. Late arrivals may not be accommodated.
  • Adults-only policy may not suit all — The guest house is strictly adults only, so families with children cannot stay here. This also means the atmosphere is quieter, but it's a firm restriction.
  • No pets allowed — If you travel with a pet, this won't be an option. The policy is 'Not allowed,' so you'll need to look elsewhere for pet-friendly accommodation.
  • Rooms with external bathrooms — Some room types, like the Double Room, offer a private external bathroom, which might be less convenient than an en-suite for some guests.
