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.
