Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms can be small — Several guests noted that rooms, especially private ones, are compact – fine for a short stay but not for spreading out.
- Comfort rating is lower than other categories — While the overall rating is 8.1, the comfort category scores 6.5, suggesting some guests find the beds or furnishings less comfortable.
- Breakfast may be simple — One guest described the breakfast as 'simple' and another as 'OK', so don't expect a lavish spread.
