Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in only until 23:59 — The reception closes at midnight, so late-night arrivals after that won't be able to check in – plan your flight times accordingly.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, you'll need to look elsewhere; the property explicitly does not permit animals.
- Limited on-site facilities — As a budget property, there's no restaurant or gym – just a shared kitchen and TV room. Breakfast is self-made rather than served.
- Parking is nearby, not necessarily on-site — The description says parking is 'nearby' – guests mention an off-site car park, so you may need to park a short walk away.
