Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Facilities score is low — The hotel’s facilities rating is just 4.5, which suggests limited on-site amenities beyond the essentials.
- Value rating is modest — With a value score of 7.7 and rates around 164 GBP, some guests may find the price stretched for what’s offered.
- No pets allowed — The hotel doesn’t accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 17:30, which may be restrictive if you arrive later in the day.
- No on-site parking listed — There’s no parking information provided, so guests driving may need to find public parking nearby.
