Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Very small property — With only nine rooms, the inn offers little privacy and may lack the amenities of larger hotels; early booking is essential.
  • Limited on-site amenities — The amenities list is short — no fitness center, restaurant, or parking — so guests should plan for meals and transport off-site.
  • Mixed ratings on some stays — While most reviews are glowing, a couple of guests gave lower scores, noting nothing specific but implying variability in experience.
