In brief
What works, what to weigh

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Modest overall rating — The guesthouse rates 7.4 out of 10, below the area average of 8.7. Dining scores also sit at 7.4, suggesting the experience is adequate but not exceptional.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this property is not an option. The policy is explicitly no pets.
- No on-site parking — There is no parking listed, which may be inconvenient if you plan to drive. Public transport or taxis are likely your best bet.
