In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Outstanding staff — Guests consistently praise the team, especially Mrs Olga, for being helpful and going out of their way to make stays pleasant.

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Small property — With only 10 rooms, availability can be limited, and the B&B has a compact feel rather than large-hotel facilities.
- Shared bathrooms on some rooms — Single, double, and some triple rooms use shared bathrooms, which may not suit every traveller.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with an animal, this isn't the place—the policy is firmly no pets.
- Check-in window is tight — Reception is available only from 14:00 to 20:00, so late arrivals need to plan ahead.
