–

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Small scale, single unit — With just one holiday home, there are no hotel-style facilities like a reception, restaurant, or communal lounge — the experience is more like staying in a private apartment.
  • Check-in and check-out windows are narrow — Arrival is only between 14:00–18:00 and departure between 08:00–10:00, which may be tight for some flights or train times.
  • No smoking allowed on site — The property is strictly non-smoking indoors and out, which won't suit smokers looking for a place to light up outside.
