Clean room, pleaseant stay. Gary and his partner were very welcoming.

Made an improvised stop to Dorchester on our way to the West Coast. The Bay Tree House was the first of many wonderful discoveries in the region. I would say, take more time to smell the roses and stay longer. This estabiahment is a great base for all your exploration.

Nice owner. Gentle character with a nice wife. Felt safe. Helpful. Im sure i will return again when staying for another course.

Another excellent stay

Nice room, nice host, my only complaint was breakfast was on one large communal table,I like a choice as to who I speak to at breakfast, preferably no-one and certainly not a stranger

Twin kamer was erg krap. Badkamer in de gang. Beiden toe aan een grondige poetsbeurt ! Ontbijt was prima.

Great hosts and value for money!

I originally booked this property 4 months ahead of time. I was led to believe our room would be in the house as most B & B's are. A month after booking the room I got a message from Bay Tree that our room wasnt available do to over booking. The proprietor said he would furnish an annex room in back of the property that was usually reserved for Air B N b business. My wife and I were not happy with that but, as time goes bye it gets harder to find a place to reserve for a stay so, we agreed to the annex room as long as we had full access to the breakfast dining area. We arrived in the late afternoon after a 10 hour flight where I phoned the property owner. He asked for an approximate time of arrival which I gave him. Then he said he wouldnt be there and to me to check front door for message that said Allison would come bye at 4 pm to let us in room. She was late of course.. Then I said how do we get our bags from the car to the room?. She said bring the through the house to the back yard. First problem. There was no pavement to pull our bags over, it was 18" cement pads spaced out with gravel between them. Not good. Then Allison opened door to room and told us we couldnt go back through house to our car. Why? because the yapping dogs the owner had were going to be turned loose in the house. I said how do I get to the car? We had to walk on the paving pads through the rear properties to the next block over. Then walk all around the block for our car. NO WAY JOSE!!! We Left

I had a single room with a very comfortable bed and slept very well. The breakfast was ideal for me and I was offered a cooked breakfast too. Gary was extremely helpful and made life a lot easier for me.I loved the atmosphere of Bay Tree House and would happily stay there again.

Bay Tree is in a quiet location and easy walking distance to Dorchester town. Gary, our host, was excellent, very pleasant and friendly. Breakfast was relaxed in a lovely room aroind a table of about 8 settings, perfect to have a morning chat with fellow guests. Nice to chat and get to know new people from different places. The rooms are tastefully furnished and well equipped with tea/coffee making facilities. Good shower ensuite. Very comfy bed, excellent night's sleep. Quiet house.

Excellant communication prior to stay. Comfortable room with ensuite, tea, coffee and water supplies. Additional use of fan over night was good. Good breakfast.

Sehr nett und richtig Gutes Frühstück !

The room was not cleaned for a while! Spiders everywhere. The bed sheet not clean, yellow marks everywhere. Horrible

Nice and clean - a good stay. The hosts were really great when I arrived quite late at night due to a missed train, and were really helpful in making sure I could get right into my room easily. I really appreciated their helpfulness and easy communication. There are a number of pets about the house including dogs, who make a bit of noise in the evening and early morning, but not too bad. I would be quite happy to stay here again.

The toilet had blue splodge on it I am not sure where it was didn't come off with wiping it off. Apart from that it was a lovely room

Gary was very friendly and helpful. He called on the day I was checking in to check on my arrival and also recommended places to eat. The room was well appointed with a comfortable bed. The bathroom is spacious but has a lot of cobwebs and some of the residents. The bedside is really convenient but I found someone else’s finger nails on it 😓 Breakfast the next morning was hearty and set me off to a good start.

Had a fantastic night here and the breakfast was excellent

Nice B&B. Owners were friendly. Room was a little dated, quite dusty and incredibly hot.

The Bay Tree House was lovely. The room was clean and comfortable; Gary was friendly and helpful; and the location is a short walk to town. I also walked to both of Thomas Hardy’s homes. Max Gate was a leisurely ten minutes away; the cottage was a longer walk, but the route through the Dorset countryside was indescribably beautiful.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The services are as described, the breakfast options are extensive and my room is spacious and clean. I appreciated the fact it is located within walking distance to the centre, but away from any noise to ensure a quiet night's sleep. If I'm in Dorchester again, I would certainly stay again. Highly recommended.
