Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited room choice — There is only one accommodation type: a one-bedroom bungalow with a king-size bed. This may not suit families or those needing extra space.
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is only possible between 14:00 and 22:00, so late arrivals may need to plan ahead.
  • No pets allowed — Pets are not permitted on site, which may be a drawback for those travelling with animals.
  • Early check-out — Guests must check out by 10:00, earlier than many hotels, so a relaxed morning is limited.
