Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Night-time noise possible — A lively bar with live music and club nights isn't for light sleepers — rooms above the pub pick up the sound.
- Adults-only policy — No children — this is an adults-only property, which suits some trips and rules out others.
- No pets, and parking is limited — There's only handicap parking on site; guests mention a long-stay car park nearby for around £15.
- Check-in window ends at 22:00 — Arrivals are only accepted between 15:00 and 22:00, so late evening flights or trains could be a problem.
