Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Dining options limited — Guests who prefer a full restaurant on site will not find one; the breakfast is a self-service basket rather than a cooked meal.
- Parking costs extra — Although parking is available, it is not free—one review notes it costs £10 per night.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is only between 16:00 and 22:30, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
- Guests note the price — Some find the rate high for the value, even though the location and facilities are praised.
