Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited on-site dining — Breakfast is available, but there is no full restaurant; guests often dine out at nearby restaurants.
  • Small property with only seven rooms — The intimate scale means limited public spaces and potentially less anonymity, though it adds to the charm.
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is only between 16:00 and 20:00, which may be inconvenient for some arrivals.
  • No pets allowed — Travellers with pets will need to look elsewhere.
