Worth weighing

3 to weigh

  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only available from 14:30 to 22:30, which may not suit late arrivals unless prior arrangements are made.
  • Parking is not on-site — Public parking is available nearby, but not at the property itself, so you may need to walk a short distance or plan ahead.
