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.

My very pleasant stay at Bay tree House

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.

A relaxing stay

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.

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.
