- Bryan (8/5): Very comfortable. Great location to access the Q Train -
- Rob (10/5): A fantastic week end with a venue that had everything we needed - the place was spotless. Very comfortable and a fantastic location for the q train nothing
- Penelope (10/5): A comfortable stay, close to the train station that was clean, tidy and perfect. - It was right across the road from Drysdale station, perfect for a stay after going on the Q Train.
The owner was lovely and messaged me to say that we could check in early, before we went on the train and leave our car there.
Extra little touches such as chocolates, a shopping bag and an umbrella in case of rain were noticed and appreciated.
I left behind a shirt and the owner messaged me and said that she would post it to our home. She went above and beyond to ensure that our stay was perfect. The shower floor was a bit slippery. This wasn’t really a problem as a rubber mat was provided for safety.
- Diane (10/5): Cosy comfortable guest house - Very comfortable & cosy on what turned out to be a very cool weather change. Lovely location set well back from High Street. Private setting with nice decking. Would be nice to sit out in better weather 🤩 Loved everything
- Judith (8/5): -
- Herb (10/5): The personal care accommodation and the Q Train journey was a perfect way for our celebration. - The location was perfect for our Q Train Trip to celebrate our 58th Wedding Anniversary. The 1 Bedroom Apartment had all aspect of comfort. The accommodation was perfect .

- Andre (9/5): - Nice and clean across the road from q train Driveway a bit tricky but not impossible
- Pauline (10/5): - Everything we needed and wanted was there ; simply and beautifully presented. We couldn't think of anything we didn't like.
- Emily (10/5): -

- Lisa (9/5): - Excellent location, extremely comfortable and the hosts communication was fantastic! Very spacious and clean throughout. We would definitely recommend this accomodation !
- Ella (10/5): Cozy quiet and exactly what I needed - My stay Lake and Railway guesthouse was amazing, the hosts communicated so well! Very quiet and secure location great layout for the guest house. Extremely clean and cozy!
- Louise (10/5): We loved it. - We were booked on the Q Train, and it was perfect as it was directly across the road from the train.
We we’re staying one night, and everything about it was excellent- the accommodation was very thoughtfully laid out with everything you could possibly need, and cleanliness was immaculate (as pictured) owners were lovely.
Only suggestion for improvement if a longer stay, would be an electric bench type cooktop in case one wishes to cook for themselves and prefers this method rather than microwave supplied. Just more cooking facilities if we were staying longer than we did- we only stayed one night.
But I understand that some owners may prefer visitors not to cook anyway.
