Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in window ends at 23:30 — If you arrive late, you'd need to plan around the 12:30–23:30 check-in window.
  • Check-out is early at 10:00 — The 10:00 check-out might feel early if you're used to a more leisurely morning.
  • No pets allowed — The guest house is not pet-friendly, so you'll need to make other arrangements if traveling with an animal.
  • Smoke-free property — Smoking is banned on site, which may be limiting for smokers looking for a place to light up.
