Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Small scale — With only six rooms, availability can be limited and the property may feel intimate rather than resort-like.
- Limited in-room facilities — Rooms are simply equipped – showers and heating are standard, while only a few include coffee machines.
- No pets allowed — The guest house does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
