Worth weighing
3 to weigh- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this guesthouse isn't an option — the policy is no pets.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 20:00, so if you arrive late you'll need to plan ahead.
- Value rating is a bit lower than other scores — While the overall rating is high, the value score is the lowest category, so some guests may feel the price is slightly higher than expected for the level of amenities.
