I had a fantastic stay at the Baytree Guesthouse in Dorchester! The hosts were absolutely wonderful and so helpful with any inquiry I might have. The room was big and very comfortable, everything was clean. Perfect location, only a 15-20 minute walk from central Dorchester and the train station. Quiet neighbourhood. I truly enjoyed my time here and wouldn't hesitate to book this guesthouse again the next time I'm in Dorchester. Would wholeheartedly recommend!

We had a warm welcome at the Bay Tree House. The location is excellent—a very easy 10 min walk to the High St and very close to the A35 and the 352. Parking for 3 cars and also on the quiet road where it is located. It does face businesses and a busy main road close by but the road noise was not an issue. The room had everything that was needed and attractively decorated. Breakfast was fruit/yogurt/cereals and toast but was more than adequate. The room was serviced daily and there was attention to detail.

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.
