Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Check-in window is narrow — Check-in only runs from 14:00 to 20:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
- No pets allowed — The lodge does not permit pets, so guests travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Limited pool facilities mentioned — Only one review mentions a swimming pool, and it is not listed in the amenities, so it may not be a guaranteed feature.
