Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Long walk to central attractions — The art gallery and chapel are about a 25-minute walk away, so you'll need to budget time to reach the centre.
- Small room type selection — The only listed room is a Shared Bathroom Double Room, which may not suit travellers wanting a private en-suite.
- No pets allowed — The property does not permit pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if travelling with an animal.
- Low staff rating relative to others — While staff communication is praised in reviews, the staff rating category is the lowest at 7.7, suggesting some inconsistency.
