Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Modest extras — The guesthouse keeps things simple—no on-site parking or restaurant, so plan for street parking or public transport if you drive.
  • Check-in window — Check-in is only between 13:00 and 21:00, so if you arrive later, you'll need to coordinate ahead.
  • Room category variance — The 'cat7' rating is noticeably lower than others, suggesting some room types might feel more basic than the comfortable standard.
