About
The Hurstmere

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Small and intimate — With only 8 rooms, the hotel can feel cozy, but it may not suit those seeking a larger, anonymous property.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 2 PM and 6 PM, which could be restrictive for guests arriving later in the day.
- Strict no-pets policy — Pets are not allowed, so those travelling with a dog will need to look elsewhere.
- Check-out is early — Guests must vacate by 10 AM, which may feel early for a leisurely morning.
