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 just returned from London where we celebrated our 37th anniversary. We both felt like we had known them for years.Janice is a great cook and makes superb breakfast every morning. She is there with a hot pot of tea many times when you return from abusy day in London. James is great as well as Janice... 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

A simple and no frill accomodation with a lot of homely comforts. Very *****cleanly maintained. James and Janice are a very helpful and likeable couple. 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

WOW, what a great experience it was to have the pleasure of staying in the Bay Tree Annex in New Southgate London. Breda and PJ could not have been more accommodating and helpful during our stay. We stayed there for four nights and thoughly enjoyed the nice welcome we received. It was if staying with a relative who you haven't... more

What a lovely place this was. You will absolutely love staying at Bay Tree House, meeting James and Janice, enjoying the lavish breakfast. The conservatory was fabulous, strewn with my favorite novels and the sound of softly falling rain while waiting for morning coffee was indescribable. The room was beautiful, very tastefuly decorated, large. Don't bother to bring your scented... more
