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

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.

Comfy stay
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.

Just a stop over for us on our way west, but loved our stay, and think we will return for longer to explore the area - only if we can stay in The Bay Tree!

A very convenient location for Dorchester centre which was a 15 minute walk. The landlord was very friendly and helpful and made my 4 night stay very comfortable. There was a great choice at breakfast where the landlord was able to sort me out with porridge.

Short Notice
I booked late and last minute through an app, but it was no problem. After over 5 hours of driving I was ready to relax and sleep and Bay Tree was perfect for this. I booked the single room with ensuite so had to climb to the top floor but did this with ease, even with three bags. The room was clean and wonderfully comfortable. The breakfast in the morning was lovely and set me up well for my drive home. I would definitely stay here again if in the area. Hopefully in nicer weather so I could take advantage of the gorgeous looking outdoor area they have.
