Worth weighing

4 to weigh

  • Pets not allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this hotel won't accommodate—pets are explicitly not allowed.
  • Non-smoking property only — The entire hotel is non-smoking, which is great for some but a restriction if you prefer to smoke indoors.

“Not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. Exceptionally comfortable, friendly service, and a quiet atmosphere. The room was newly remodelled and the staff were really helpful. The location was perfect for visiting a modern bridge a short distance away, and it was only a 5-minute walk to the bus stop.”
