Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Compact rooms — Some rooms are on the smaller side, which may feel snug if you're planning a long stay or travelling with lots of luggage.
- Check-in ends at 20:00 — Late arrivals need to plan ahead — the reception desk is only open until 8 pm.
- No smoking anywhere on site — If you smoke, you will need to step off the property; there are no designated smoking areas.
- Price for a 3-star — Rates from £263 per night are on the higher side for a 3-star property, though guests generally feel the quality justifies it.
