Worth weighing

4 to weigh

  • No pets allowed — If you're traveling with a dog or cat, this property won't accommodate them.
  • Parking is off-site — There is a car park, but it's listed as off-site, so expect to park away from the property.
  • Street noise possible — For a property on a central square, some rooms may face the street, and a few reviews mention street views (which some guests enjoy).
