Worth weighing

- Early check-out time — Check-out is from 08:00 to 10:00, so you'll need to be up and out fairly early.
- No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements for your furry companions.
- Limited privacy in common areas — The guesthouse includes shared spaces like a kitchen and TV lounge, which may not suit travellers wanting full self-contained privacy.
