Was Gäste sagen

Die Baytree Guest House erhält durchweg positives Feedback für den freundlichen und aufmerksamen Gastgeber, die ruhige Lage in Gehdistanz zu Dorchester und die im Allgemeinen komfortablen und gut ausgestatteten Zimmer. Zahlreiche Gäste erwähnen eine erholsame Nachtruhe.

Das Frühstück wird häufig für seine Qualität und Auswahl gelobt, wobei mehrere Gäste die gemeinsame Tischgestaltung schätzen. Zu den negativen Aspekten gehören eine uneinheitliche Sauberkeit (Staub, Spinnweben, Flecken), für einige Gäste veraltete oder zu warme Zimmer, gelegentliche Geräusche durch Haustiere sowie einige administrative oder Zugangsprobleme, wie z.B. Überbuchungen, ein schwer zu findendes Nebengebäude und Mehrwertsteuerrechnungen. Am besten geeignet für Reisende, die ein gemütliches B&B-Erlebnis gegenüber hoteltypischer Standardisierung bevorzugen.

Aufenthalt für 8 Nächte

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

Owners away and lady covering not on site on arrival. TV situated in bed but did not work. Would not come out of slot. Lady did not offer replacement or anyone to fix it. Shower cubicle edges dirty. Holes in sheets on bed. Carpet edges very dusty and dust on ledge in bathroom. Not really worthy of 4 AA star . No restaurant or bar despite advertising.

Aufenthalt für eine Nacht

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.

The room was spotless and very comfortable. The manager, Gary, was very helpful and friendly. A lovely breakfast, excellent choice and freshly prepared. Sadly the bad weather meant that we couldn’t explore the area so we are planning to return and will definitely stay here next time. Would rate 5* .

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 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.

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.

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.

Our stay was really comfortable. Gary (our host) was extremely helpful, first trying to order us a taxi to visit the Hardy Cottage and House, and then, when that proved fruitless, driving us to the Cottage himself, refusing to accept any payment for doing so.

I've no idea if this is a good hotel or not, I booked it for two sub contractors that were working in the area. I have now been trying to get a VAT receipt for almost a week, there only appears to be one member of staff... I have emailed and left voicemails & I still haven't got one. They did send me an online receipt of some sort, but it had no VAT breakdown or VAT reg no. This is really frustrating, as I have to have a VAT receipt in order to claim my money back from work and I have better things to do, than to keep chasing it.
