4 to weigh- Service rating is the weakest point — The Service category scores 7.8, below the overall 8.3, suggesting occasional inconsistencies in the level of service.
- No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if travelling with an animal.

- No on-site parking — There is no parking at the B&B, so you'll need to rely on public transport or paid shuttles.
