After many, many experiences with lodging in and around London over a long period of time - ranging from just OK to absolutely awful - I am happy to have found a home I hope to return to! Arriving exhausted in London at 7:00 AM after the transcontinental/transAtlantic flight from San Francisco and taking the tube to Bay Tree House... More

All of the superlative comments about the Bay Tree House are true! The Bay Tree House continues to live up to its "England's finest" reputation. Welcoming and helpful, the witty conversation of the conservatory group kept us listening for jokes and good laughs so as not to miss anything. We got great advice about public transportation, using Oyster cards and... More

My sister and I went on what was to be a trip of a lifetime. After getting lost in London for 13 hours, we arrived at Bay Tree House a day late. During those hours poor James and Janice took our phone calls for help till the wee hours of the morning. Upon arrival we were greeted by the two... More

I stayed at Bay Tree House for the fourth time, obviously I keep going back because it's a wonderful place to stay. Unfortunately Janice was not there, she was in the US, but her place was very ably taken by Breda. It is difficult to add anything to the reviews that have already been written. The house is spotlessly clean,... More

If you look for an alternative to an impersonal hotel room - this is the place to be. James and Janice are the ideal hosts, very caring and lovely people and James is always good for a joke. There are three not very large but cosy guest rooms on the first floor, all with a separate, comfortable washroom and usually... More

My wife, baby and I stayed with Janice and James from 6th May to 9th May 2013. All the wonderful things many guests before us said about Bay Tree, Janice and James, are categorically true. We wish to add our voices to the chorus! Our room and bathroom were spotless, beds were extremely comfortable (like floating on air), breakfasts were... More

The three of us spent 3 nights at the Bay Tree after our Trans Atlantic crossing. Everything that has been written before about James & Janice is absolutely true. They are two wonderful people and their home becomes your home while you are there. We also discovered that Janice is from Long Island, NY which is where I grew up... More

We have just stayed at Baytree for a weekend in London, We cannot stress highly enough how welcome we were made to feel from the moment we set foot in the building. Unfortunately Janice was away across the pond so we didn't get the pleasure of meeting her. James was so helpfull, funny and informative & even sorted us out... More

James & Janice made us feel we were visiting family rather than being guests at a B&B. The second we were there we felt welcome, with James showing us around and engaging us in conversation. Breakfast is perfect, getting to talk to the other guests gives it an extra touch, to know experiences from other parts of the world. Only... More
