The Bucket Tree is very iconic, with colonial style architecture, lovely park-like surroundings and that giant bucket-shaped tree in front. I arrived in the middle of a heavy rainstorm, so really appreciated the warm and cosy room. I had a separate bedroom with a very comfortable bed. Beautiful kitchenette and bathroom. Everything was lovely and clean and the service was great. I stayed for two nights and my room was cleaned each day. Would definitely stay here again.

Property is close to train station. While its not 5 star,beds and rooms are clean and comfortable. Cons:Parking is average but due to location is not really the fault of the lodge. Lodge is right next to the train line. ##### Rangi Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Scott May 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Close to the railway line, so may be too noisy for some. 1 bdrm was spacious. Parking looks like it might be a problem but never was. Handy to train, bus, motorway and outlet shopping. Heating was good, shower was too. Very reasonably priced. I think we'll be back. ##### Scott Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Sarah Aug 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice property good location, only problem was heaters didnt heat the room enough so it was quite cold ##### Sarah Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Colin Dec 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The unit was clean, tidy, great cooking facilities, loved the shower and bathroom. Staff are friendly. Lovely garden and surrounding pathways and trees. However, it was very close to the railroad tracks and it sounded like a train passed through the unit several times during the night. Ear plugs were provided but it didn’t stop all the noise. ##### Colin Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveler May 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Nice place to stay It was a lovely stay. Stayed with my little family for 3 nights. The room was clean and had nice heating, the cleaners came in and gave us fresh towels and cleaned up a bit for us while we were out, it was nice. Was very close to the train station and could hear the train but wasn’t a bother to us, they provided earplugs if it was though! Our bedroom had the bathroom connected which was the shared bathroom between us all. The walls are very thin so you can hear everything from the floor above you if you’re on the lower level. Overall, it was a lovely experience. If we were to stay again, I would purchase a bigger suite ##### Verified traveler Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anthony Jan 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very good accomodation, super hosts, would recommend to everyone. ##### Anthony Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - [Lodging](?equalTargetTab=tab-0) - [Flights](?equalTargetTab=tab-1) - [Packages](?equalTargetTab=tab-2) - [Cars](?equalTargetTab=tab-3) - [Cheap Hotels in Orange County](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Orange-County-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d603224-tCheapHotels.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) - [Baru Island Hotels](https://www.expedia.com/Baru-Island-Hotels.d6126582.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Quality Inn & Suites Bellville - Mansfield](https://www.expedia.com/Mansfield-Hotels-Quality-Inn-Suites-Bellville-Mansfield.h42785.Hotel-Information) - [Beach Hotels in Eureka](https://www.expedia.com/Eureka-Hotels-Beach-Hotel.0-0-d287-tBeachHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [The Brafferton Inn](https://www.expedia.com/Gettysburg-Hotels-The-Brafferton-Inn.h2566881.Hotel-Information) - [Sonesta San Jose - Milpitas](https://www.expedia.com/Milpitas-Hotels-Sonesta-San-Jose.h7675.Hotel-Information) - [Pet-Friendly Hotels in Dupont Circle](https://www.expedia.com/Dupont-Circle-Washington-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-n800143-0-tPetfriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Hotels with an Indoor Pool in Lisbon](https://www.expedia.com/Lisbon-Hotels-Hotels-With-Indoor-Pool.0-0-d2080-tHotelswithIndoorPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [The St. Regis Le Morne Resort, Mauritius](https://www.expedia.com/Le-Morne-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Mauritius-Resort.h5074264.Hotel-Information) - [Buenos Aires Hotels](https://www.expedia.com/Buenos-Aires-Hotels.d178242.Travel-Guide-Hotels) - [Hotels near Tesoro Beach](https://www.expedia.com/Tesoro-Beach-Hotels.0-l6269579-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [Motels in Douglasville](https://www.expedia.com/Douglasville-Motels.d7896-aaMotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) - [Hotels near National Museum of African American History and Culture](https://www.expedia.com/National-Museum-Of-African-American-History-And-Culture-Hotels.0-l553248621533117468-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) - [B&B di Piazza del Duomo](https://www.expedia.com/Florence-Hotels-BB-Di-Piazza-Del-Duomo.h2537474.Hotel-Information) - [Flights from Belize City (BZE) to Philadelphia (PHL)](https://www.expedia.com/lp/flights/bze/phl/belize-city-to-philadelphia) - [Flights from New York (JFK) to Campinas (VCP)](https://www.expedia.com/lp/flights/jfk/vcp/new-york-to-campinas) - [Flights from Washington (IAD) to Lexington (LEX)](https://www.expedia.com/lp/flights/iad/lex/washington-to-lexington) - [Flights from Port Harcourt (PHC) to Akure (AKR)](https://www.expedia.com/lp/flights/phc/akr/port-harcourt-to-akure) - [Flights from Kotoka Intl.](https://www.expedia.com/lp/airports/acc/flights-from-kotoka-intl-airport) - [Flights to Long Pond](https://www.expedia.com/Cheap-Flights-To-Long-Pond.d6128971.Travel-Guide-Flights) - [Flights from San Francisco (SFO) to Cape Town (CPT)](https://www.expedia.com/lp/flights/sfo/cpt/san-francisco-to-cape-town) - [Flights to Pattaya](https://www.expedia.com/Cheap-Flights-To-Pattaya.d9514.Travel-Guide-Flights) - [Flights from San José (SJO) to Little Rock (LIT)](https://www.expedia.com/lp/flights/sjo/lit/san-jose-to-little-rock) - [Flights from Fairbanks (FAI) to San Francisco (SFO)](https://www.expedia.com/lp/flights/fai/sfo/fairbanks-to-san-francisco) - [Flights from Tijuana (TIJ) to San Carlos (NCR)](https://www.expedia.com/lp/flights/tij/ncr/tijuana-to-san-carlos) - [Flights to Atlanta](https://www.expedia.com/Cheap-Flights-To-Atlanta.d178232.Travel-Guide-Flights) - [Visit Miami](https://www.expedia.com/Miami.dx178286) - [Visit Alamos](https://www.expedia.com/Alamos.dx10491) - [Rental cars Lehigh Valley Intl. airport](https://www.expedia.com/Car-Rentals-In-Lehigh-Valley-Intl.d4538945.Car-Rental-Guide)
