The guesthouse is non-smoking throughout and has CCTV outside the property, fire extinguishers, and smoke alarms. The host has also mailed items guests left behind.
“For anyone catching the Q Train, the Lake and Railway Guesthouse's location is simply unbeatable, situated directly across the road. Beyond its prime placement, the guesthouse strikes a thoughtful balance between self-contained privacy and the comforts of home, evident in its clean, well-appointed spaces and the host's attentive communication. It's a place where the essentials are not just met, but thoughtfully considered, making for a restful stop.”
