Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Adults-only policy — The guest house does not accommodate children, so it's not suitable for families travelling with kids.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, you'll need to look elsewhere, as the property has a strict no-pets policy.
  • Shared bathrooms in some rooms — The budget-friendly room options, including the Shared Bathroom Double Room, require using a communal bathroom, which may not suit everyone.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only possible between 15:00 and 22:00, so arriving outside these hours could be an issue.
  • No on-site parking — The property does not list parking, and being in the old town, street parking may be limited or paid.
