Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Small property, limited rooms — With only 7 rooms, availability is limited and the guesthouse may feel intimate rather than full-service.
  • Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 23:59, which may be restrictive for late arrivals.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Comfort rating slightly lower — While most categories score above 9, Comfort is rated 7.5, which may indicate less cushioning or softer bedding than some guests expect.
