Bay Tree House — Hotel in London

We have stayed at Bay Tree Guest House 3 times in the last 3 years. The accommodation is of a high standard and the property is within 5 minutes walk of Arnos Grove tube station and a good range of local shops. The continental breakfast is very good.||||However, the cooked breakfast is not the traditional “full English cooked breakfast” you would expect from most B & Bs as a matter of course, and whether you get it or not appears to be at the whim of the owner Jasmine.||||The first time we stayed we were served a somewhat smaller than normal and limited cooked breakfast.||||The second time we stayed the girl who normally does the cooking had not turned up and Jasmine told us she wasn’t doing a cooked breakfast as we were the only guests staying, but presumably as she didn’t want to be bothered cooking herself, and tried to fob us off with a continental breakfast. ||||She finally grudgingly agreed to do a cooked breakfast like she was doing us a favour rather than giving us with what we had paid for and quite rightly expected to be provided. This clearly soured the atmosphere over breakfast and spoiled our stay.||||We confirmed over the phone that a full cooked breakfast was included when booking our 3rd and latest stay to avoid any similar shenanigans this time.||||Consequently, having asked if we could have scrambled rather than fried eggs we were extremely disappointed, surprised and put out to find that the “cooked breakfast” when it came simply consisted of a small bowl of scrambled eggs between 3 of us and nothing else which prompted the obvious question from us “is that it?”||||Jasmine yet again grudgingly agreed to provide the rest of the normal missing elements of the breakfast which she miraculously somehow had in her fridge.||||Again our stay was marred on leaving by the feeling that we had been short-changed and taken advantage of. ||||We will not be returning a 4th time.||||If you book here make quite sure you know what you are getting and confirm...

I recently stayed at this very quaint Bed and Breakfast for work and found it to be lovely. Initially I was concerned as it seems quite far from London (it is a beautiful residential neighbourhood in North London) however, the tube is a 5 min walk and takes you directly into London - I got to London to Russell Square in 20 minutes - straight line, no changing. The room was large and very comfortable, extremely clean. There is a lovely room to have breakfast and chat with the other guests. Jasmine the owner made a delicious breakfast and was most helpful with any questions. She truly wants you to enjoy your stay with her as she engaged with all of us. The house has a small number of rooms so it was very quiet and the house is very bright and relaxing. Most guests left after breakfast and were gone into the city for most of the day. There is a lovely garden to sit in at the end of a long day. At the end of the street, there are a few pubs to eat in, and a small bakery should you need any treats. Would highly recommend to any traveller looking for a quieter spot to stay yet needing easy and quick access to downtown London. Would...

Stayed here for one night to visit London Central for the Christmas markets and then later Alexander Palace for a concert. We three girls had a lovely stay on the top floor, three beds and a spacious ensuite bathroom. Really felt like a home from home and Jasmine was such a lovely host. Five minutes to the tube station (Piccadilly line) which gets you into central in 30 mins. A great place to stay if you want to go back somewhere away from the crowded city. Local high street has a Sainsbury's, coffee shops etc. I had hash browns and eggs for breakfast and you could help yourself to bread, croissants, fresh coffee, juice and different teas. Will definitely return for another stay soon....
