Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 17:30, which may be inconvenient if you arrive later in the day.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if travelling with an animal.
  • Check-out is early — Check-out is between 08:00 and 10:00, which might feel rushed for guests wanting a leisurely morning.
  • Price point for a 3-star property — Starting at £538 per night, it's not a budget option, and some guests rated their stay lower than the overall average, suggesting value for money can vary.
