My boyfriend and I (both in our 20s) spent 5 days with James and Janice at the Bay Tree House as one of our last stops on a European getaway. We were welcomed with beer, tea and great conversation the minute we walked through the door, which was very kind and extremely appreciated after our journey. The days that lay... more

My son and I stayed at the Bay Tree House annex which we booked through James at Bay Tree House via e-mail. The e-mail I received in reply was very welcoming and contained all the information I needed. When we arrived we recieved a warm friendly welcome from Breda who immediately put the kettle on. We were made to feel... more

The problem, when reading rave reviews of the sort that Bay Tree House has been receiving, is that they encourage unrealistic expectations and set you up for disappointment. We have just returned from a six week tour of the UK. Altogether we stayed in 11 b&b's and 6 hotels. All (with 2 notorious exceptions!) had high standards of comfort and... more

My husband and I stayed at the Bay Tree Annex in May & June of this year. We couldn't have been happier with our choice if we tried. We were absolutely exhausted when we arrived after our mammoth 26 hour flight from Australia but were immediately made feel welcome by Breda and PJ who provided us with refreshments and made... more

I of course liked Janice more for her wonderful, eat as much as you can and hot breakfast and nicely brewed tea. James is very resourceful in planning your itinerary and travel route and assistance... more

Travelling alone can be tiring, dispiriting and lonely some of the time. However, during my stays at The Bay Tree Annex (just across the road from the main house) I felt totally at home. Breda and P.J. are friendly, interesting and helpful hosts. During my nine days (over three visits) I stayed in both guestrooms - each spacious, bright and... more

My husband and I stayed at the Bay Tree in Nov. We had expected much since we read the rave reviews...and that is exactly what we got! Such hospitality! James & Janice are warm, friendly people. We had a terrific time talking to them. They offered great suggestions during our stay and the breakfast Janice cooked each morning was fantastic!... more

We highly recommend Bay Tree House if you are looking for pleasant, reasonably priced accommodations in London. It's a very quick tube ride from central London, easy to find, not a long walk from the station. A night bus provides access after the line closes late night. We arrived early on a Tuesday morning and didn't expect to be able... more
