Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog, this property isn't suitable – though a resident dog does live on site.
- Comfort and facilities score lower — At 8.5, comfort and facilities are the weakest categories – still solid, but not the standout points.
- Check-out is early — You'll need to be out by 10:00 am, which is earlier than many hotels.
- Street noise potential — Located on High Level Road, a main thoroughfare, so some rooms may pick up traffic sounds.
