Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with an animal, this property won't accommodate you.
  • Limited room types — Only double, single, triple, and quadruple rooms are available, which may not suit families needing separate spaces.
  • No parking on site — There is no parking listed, so if you're driving, you'll need to find street parking or a nearby lot.
  • Smoke-free property — All rooms are non-smoking, so smokers will need to step outside — though there's a terrace for that.
