Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Facilities score lags the rest — Facilities sits at 6.8, the lowest category. There's a pool, garden and golf course, but expectations on equipment or extras should stay modest.
- Check-in window is tight — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 20:00. If your arrival is late, you'll need to coordinate – though they do offer a paid airport shuttle.
- Wi-Fi can be inconsistent — One guest noted the free Wi-Fi had occasional problems, so don't rely on it for heavy streaming or urgent work.
- No pets and adults only — Families with children or those travelling with pets won't be able to book – this is a strictly adult-only, pet-free property.
