“Ideal getaway spot handy for the Q Train”
A cosy spot that absolutely met our needs. Appreciated the little touches like breakfast cereals, condiments etc. The bathroom is modern, and the shower strong. Being able to BBQ just outside was lovely. Waking up to the birds, and walking around the lake was a joy. We were booked on the Q train, so this was an ideal spot.

“I want to keep this a secret”
A perfect cottage to spend a few days. Peter and Felicity have done a superb job of creating a comfortable, cosy refuge. The fridge and pantry have all the goodies needed. The bed was very comfortable. There is a tame magpie that comes to say hello each day and loads of rabbits and other birdlife. To top it off Lake Lorne is across the road and provides a lovely morning/evening walk. I can highly recommended this little treasure.

Peter and Felicity were very hospitable. Although only there for a short stay, I don’t think we could have picked better. Generous breakfast options were provided, and the place had a cozy nature about its self. Parking was quite easy and simple to find, and Peter and Felicity were quick to reply to questions. Would 100% recommend to anyone travelling.

It was very clean, thoughtfully furnished, very quiet, located in a lovely park setting, had a hot shower and was comfortably warm in mid winter. The continental breakfast was lovely and meant we could snuggle in a bit before we headed out for the day. I took my wife on the Q Train, which was only 5 minutes walk, making the week-end super relaxing. Thanks!

“Cottage comforts in Drysdale.”
A cute little cottage with everything we needed including generous breakfast supplies. The bed was comfy and hosts were great to communicate with; they sent prompt replies to my queries. It's a great base from which to do the Q train.- you can walk to the station in about 10 minutes along the lakeside path. Drysdale village is a little further along.
