Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Small property, limited facilities — With only 10 rooms, there's no on-site restaurant, gym, or spa; the focus is on the room itself.
- Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 20:00, which may be tight if you arrive later in the evening.
- Parking is limited — While parking is listed, it's not specified as free or guaranteed; typical for a central guesthouse.
