Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Some rooms face a wall — At least one review notes a room with a view of a brick wall rather than a sea view, so views are not guaranteed.
  • No pets allowed — The property's policy explicitly forbids pets, which may limit options for travellers with animals.
  • Limited on-site parking — No dedicated parking is listed on the property; one review mentions 'private parking nearby', suggesting it's not always on-site or guaranteed.
