Brilliant location ,loads of little touches that made it friendly and welcoming
Fridge & microwave was handy and onsite parking.
Room was very tired looking. Had a smell of damp. We had an awful night's sleep, we knew it was near the station but the trains weren't a problem, they started doing track maintenance at 4am with lots of loud banging and drilling. I know it can't be helped but wouldn't stay again just in case.
Didn't gave breakfast and the location was perfect.
There was nothing I didn't like
Have stayed before , comfortable room and an ideal location with parking for walking access the city centre. would not hesitate to use again in the future.
Location and cleanliness
N/a
Basic but great value for money. Fab for a quick one night stay.
I did not have breakfast - just a coffee and a quick bite due to my quick departure to get my early trains up north
I found the shower not very good - it did not drain very well as if it had a blockage.
Great location and free parking
Room smelled funny and felt damp
Exactly what I was looking for. Close to the station and ideally located for access to the centre of Lancaster. Excellent. Easy entry to building and great instructions.
There was no milk.
Beautiful room and facilities, super comfy and right next to the station, I would definitely go back there again!
Nothing
Local to the centre, just a few minutes walk. Simple to gain access to the room, and the great bonus of free private parking on-site. Staff (David), answered every question promptly, and offered us the use of the car park before our room was ready. Great
Nothing. You can hear the trains initially, but it didn't affect our sleep, plus ear plugs are supplied,. We didn't find it necessary to use them though.
Lovely place. Will stay again
Nothing
Great location close to the town. Parking was secure which was great. Arrived early and was straight into the room no extra charges. Great hosts
Simplicity and clean, great location
None
Location was excellent and the room was very comfortable, with a great shower.
Nothing at all -- the place suited my needs perfectly.
Great location and very friendly staff.
Nothing
Bath room was smelly and damp
Proximity to station and centre. Comfortable and clean with nice hot shower. Tea and coffee in room . Value for money.
Good location, quick self-entry process, comfy bed

Stanza molto semplice e curata, pulita e accogliente. Posizione strategica vicino alla stazione.
Nearby train stations and shops are also closed
Room smells very badly bedding wasn’t changed
good location for both town centre and cycle paths. comfortable room. having a fridge and microwave was good
lighting a bit dim and train noise but we soon got used to it.
Great shower, good size and quality of TV, was lovely to have a fridge and microwave to the room to make some meals, bed was very comfortable, staff was very friendly.
Milk was off when I put it in my coffee in the morning, sachets milk could be put in fridge to keep cold, the handle keep on sticking to awkward to open, ear plugs don't really work very well.
The room was clean and comfortable.
It was on top of the railway station.
Es una hermosa casa de huéspedes muy muy cerca de la estación de trenes, muy conveniente para nosotros que viajamos en tren y solo queríamos conocer Lancaster un par de dias. Además esta muy cerca del castillo, de pubs etc. Pudimos recorrer todo a pie . David nos permitió dejar las valijas algo antes y fué muy amable
Todo excelente
Great location for train travel
Everything I needed
The hotel has many qualities that made my stay pleasant. Its location is excellent: just a short walk from the city center and close to main tourist attractions, which made exploring the city extremely easy and enjoyable. Self check‑in and check‑out were smooth and efficient. I also appreciated the overall cleanliness of the room, the quiet atmosphere, and the comfortable room, which offered good space and useful wardrobes for storing clothes. Parking was convenient, even if not bookable in advance.
There are a few aspects that could be improved to make the experience even better. The bathroom was internal without a window. The curtains let in some light early in the morning due to the lack of shutters or blackout blinds, which might affect sleep for light sleepers.
Room only
Noise level
Easy check-in very comfortable.
Nothing
Was impressed that there was a fridge and microwave. I had an issue with the room code - as I had booked it a couple of months ago the message had dropped off the site. When I messaged about the code the property responded very quickly and were very helpful. Can hear the trains from the room but the property supplied ear plugs so this wasn't an issue.
As I walked up the stairs it smelt like there was an excessive use of air fresheners. (but couldn't smell this in the room)
Great location for Lancaster centre. Very clean. Had well thought out extras such as a microwave, cutlery and washing up liquid/sponge. Fan was included in the room, useful in this heat, especially if you didn’t want to have the windows open. Shower was nice and powerful. The host was really accommodating with our room booking and moved our family so we had 2 rooms close together.
Quite noisy with the trains when the window was open.
Wry central, nice comfortable, well equipped room, free parking
Bit of noise as by road and railway but can’t be helped and could still sleep even with window open
For me the location was excellent. The room was clean and comfortable.
Self entry keypad. Awkward at the best of times: just once I couldn't get it to work.
Lovely place. I will definitely stay again
El microones i la facilitat per accedir-hi
Res
Great location, nice room, excellent communication
Basic but very comfortable. Clean and in good order. Very close to centre and train station.
Maybe a place to leave your overnight bag after checkout to pick up later.
Really good location. Very comfy room with loads of character. Great price.
I have wanted to stay in this lovely little guest house at the railway station for years, intrigued and curious to see what it was like inside. I'm happy to say it was lovely, clean and very comfortable. The lay out of the room and facilities were good, having a fridge and microwave was useful. The location couldn't be better, opposite the station, right in the centre of town, though you you couldn't here the trains or traffic with the windows closed. Having a large fan was great in thus hot weather. I'll definitely book again.
Nothing, it was great.
Convenient to train station and centre.
No issues.
Die Unterkunft ist vom Bahnhof aus sehr gut zu erreichen und zu Fuß ist man auch sehr schnell in der Innenstadt. Kühlschrank, Mikowelle und Wasserkocher sind vorhanden.
Es gab leider keinen Fön. Den Bahnverkehr hört man bei offenem Fenster, wor konnten trotzdem gut schlafen.
Security, location and very clean too
Really good location, easy to access, comfy bed, private bathroom, usual amenities, late checkout time
Nothing, it was reasonably priced and really pleasant!
Excellent location, the room was a great size, everything we needed!
Nothing
1. Easy access 2.good value 3. Close to the train station 4. Close to the centre of Lancaster 5. Clean 6. Ear plugs provided 7. Quiet - although I stayed on a Sat night with fewer trains in the morning and quieter roads
Everything so clean and great location for everything this a great place to stay if your going to Lancaster this is definitely the place to stay and price of stay is the best in town
Nothing
Location for the town centre is excellent
Noise from the train station, but we were warned prior to the stay
Price and location.
Nothing other than, also that it was on the top floor.
The owner was very accommodating when we asked for an early check in.
The door to the bathroom didn’t close fully but in the main very happy with our stay.
Convenience of location.
Air conditioning unit in room was so noisy it was unuseable.
Location, carparking, property entrance, room wall paper .
Bed was ok (felt a little like a camp bed) rather than a proper mattress . Door to the en-suite was tricky to open.
Very clean, bed was very comfortable, and the provision of a microwave and refrigerator was an added bonus. Free car park and conveniently located for Lancaster railway station.
Shower was extremely small and very hot as it was on the top floor during an extreme heat wave.
All good, great location, good communication from David
Nothing
Very close to everything, train station and shops. Everything provided and on site help
Nothing
Comfortable and welcoming. Very thoughtful hosts: thanks for including the fan (and ear plugs!)
Wifi wasn’t very good, but that’s us being picky
Close to the centre of town with ample secure parking
A little jaded. Small room with adequate rather than comfortable bed
Fenomenalna obsługa, wymiana pościeli i ręczników, dbanie o komfort wynajmujących, autonomiczny grzejnik elektryczny oraz dmuchawa w pokoju stąd komfort termiczny
Zbyt mała jak na moje potrzeby umywalka w łazience, brak szafki bądź kilku półek na ściennych w pokoju na własne drobiazgi
Very comfy bed, decent sized room and convenient location for town centre and station. Ideal for short stay.
Maybe a hair dryer
This property is convenient for train station and also easy check in. Stayed here a few times and will again .
Nothing to complain about
Nice location , good instructions and handy car parking ; very good value for money
Bathroom size was tiny
Location was great, right next to train station and only a 5 minute walk to everything, shops, pubs, restaurants. Room had all we needed for a comfortable 3 night stay and if I go back to Lancaster I would be looking to book here again.
This gem of a guest house well exceeded my expectations. So close to the station for my onward journey. Key entry was very simple and ran smoothly. I found it quiet, no noise from other guests. Good size car park and short walk into town centre for shops, cafes and restaurants
I am a little disabled and found the stairs quite steep when navigating with my case. This state is not a critique just an observation
The location was excellent. The room was small but great value for money. It was beautifully clean and very welcoming.
The stairs, no lift, but it wasn't a huge problem. Another time I would ask not to be not on the top floor.
Perfect location for visiting my daughter. Easy to find, easy to park, access instructions simple. Clean, comfortable, useful facilities for a self-catering stay.
On site parking. Short walk into town. Straightforward self check in. Fridge and microwave a bonus which we didn’t expect
Lack of sockets by bed. Had to unplug lamps. Microscopic TV
Great location a short walk from the castle and centre. It was easy to find, and there was parking. It was great value for money and a perfect place to stay for a flying visit to Lancaster.
Nothing
Excellent location only a 5 minute walk into the town centre. Safe parking a bonus, no problems with self entry, email, messaging and phone number provided if we had any queries (which we didn’t)
Great location, fab value for money, fridge, microwave and basic crockery/cutlery provided as well as tea and coffee making facilities and a bistro table/chairs. The owners are clear that it is budget friendly so don’t expect high end fittings, but it was very clean, well kept and the bed was very comfortable.
Good accommodation at a dry good price.
It’s a clean, comfortable room across the road from the train station and within 5 minutes walk of numerous greet dining spots.
Just one small foible. During a heat wave, there was no fan provided in the room. It would have been a nice touch.
Ideal location, lovely little guest house, couldn’t really ask for better value for money, off road parking and friendly gentleman who we assumed was the manager (chatted to him watering the plants) we will be back!
nothing
Perfect for our need... an overnight stay close to Lancaster station. Clean bathroom, good shower. Effective fan.
I didnt realise how noisy the trains would be, but we were so tired we fell asleep and slept well anywat
Great location and really good value.
Nothing
Good location to the historical center of town. Easy parking.
No lift or air conditioning
Value for money. A little dated, but completely functional. Good location. A lot of thought put into what is available to use at accommodation. Comfy bed.
Asked a time sensitive question about leaving luggage at accommodation after check out, but didn't get a reply about it until next day after check out so by then the information was not useful.
Arrived by train, guest house right by station, perfect!
A heatwave struck with our visit, a large fan would have been wonderful!
A clean, comfortable studio which had everything I needed for an overnight stay. Communication was excellent and it was as described. Thanks
Convenient and cozy guest house close to Lancaster Train Station. Easy self access. Decent room with the most needed necessities. If you’re okay with a very low key and homely feeling. This is your go to place. Short walk to Lancaster Castle and the city center for shops and restaurants.
Very close to the train station. Convenient for arriving and departing. But quite a lot of noise coming from the station - trains arriving/departing etc. During the night big and noisy cargo trains woke me up a good amount of times. Ear plugs definitely needed for sleeping. Especially in summer time with windows open.
Close to the train station so i didn'thave to lug my bags far. Convenient to the castle and town centre. Nobody bothered me.
Close to the train station, but ear plugs were provided bedside. Shower was a bit cramped for a fat guy but had good pressure. I hate duvets and there were no other options, so i didn't sleep well. There was no hot water when I got there, but British plumbing is weird so I couldn't be sure i wasn't doing something wrong. I took a cold sink bath and sent a message asking how to get hot water. The boiler had gone out. I wasn't the idiot this time.
This truly is a little gem of a place. A lovely cottage feel with lovely flowered entrance. Was quiet with a relaxed atmosphere. No hustle and bustle. The room was of a good size double. The bed very comfortable. En-suite more than adequate. The shower, 10 out of 10.. really powerful and invigorating to boost you into the day ahead. Having very large window gave the room a lot of natural daylight, I would whole heartedly recommend this guest house. Extremely convenient to the station being just 100 yards from stepping out the station. For what you pay I felt I received a very good deal. I am returning there for a couple of nights stay in 5 days time.
The weather was extremely hot this day resulting in a hot room. Some sort of fan in the room would have been a great welcome.
ideal central location with parking. Very clean and comfortable.
location was good
A bit tired and needs updating,garish bed sheets and towels and the shower tray filled up when using it so you had to be quick in the shower,there were hairs stuck to the shower wall when we arrived which was a bit off putting
Excellent location and very comfy room.
Basic, but has everything you need for the price. Recommended as a budget stay. Lovely owner, very responsive
Location was very good. The room was pleasant.
The shower went from boiling hot to freezing and back again numerous times. No staff on site was a bit weird to be honest.
Excellent communication, easy access. Good parking. Very near the centre of town.
Slightly noisy from the road. Trains were not a problem.
Communication with the owner was clear and very helpful and supportive.
Nothing.
Good central location.
Allocated parking space very difficult to manoeuvre my car in.
Very reasonable price. Easy to read instructions for access. Shower room spotless, bed quite comfy.
The WiFi password info, very long password, could do with it being a,QR code. A little bit of dust and cobweb above the kettle area.
Location was excellent. Room clean and good facilites. Parking easy
Bedside kights did not work. Towels were small and a bit worn
The room is cozy and well-located in the city centre.
The indoor lighting is not ideal, as it is quite low and you can't see things clearly.
Easy access from train station and self checkin. Room was lovely and facilities were very good And the extra coffee tea and sugar supplied was appreciated after a long journey Highly recommended
Nothing to mention as it was lovely
Spotlessly clean. Quiet room with decent shower and comfy bed
N/A
Great location, rate was very reasonable and room was comfortable with microwave and fridge facilities. Although I didn’t encounter any staff during my stay the host provided all relevant details via messages ahead of my stay.
Central to the town centre
