Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only possible between 14:00 and 20:00, so late arrivals need to plan accordingly.
- No on-site parking and no pets — The B&B does not offer parking, and pets are not allowed, which may be inconvenient for some travellers.
- Price point reflects the historic setting — Rates start at £471 per night, which may be higher than typical for a B&B, but the location and charm justify it for many.
