Baytree Lodge Reviews

This house is amazing. There is so much space, that even as a group, you don't ever feel on top of each other. There is ample parking and a lovely enclosed garden which is excellent when taking a dog. The pool area is just fantastic and so well maintained. The games room is another great addition and kept the children busy when they weren't swimming! The kitchen is well equipped and the only issue we had with the hot water to some areas was resolved immediately. The location is perfect as you have options of beaches and sightseeing within 5 minutes drive either way you turn.

An absolutely stunning property! Could not fault any aspect. Plenty of space and each room comfortable and nicely decorated. Beds very comfortable and lovely having en suites for each bedroom plus an extra bathroom upstairs and a downstairs toilet. Kitchen area is spacious and cupboardsdrawers are filled with lots of crockeryglassescutleryetc that you could possibly need. Outside space to sit and chill and look at the fields. The games room is great fun! The swimming pool is stunning, so warm and clean! Ideal depth so all of us were able to use both ends for our swimming pool Olympics!

Christine

Excellent property very well equipped and immaculately clean. Minor plumbing problem and refuse collection issue sorted efficiently and quickly. Just a couple of suggestions would it be possible to include tea and coffee making facilities in the annexe bedroom to save the cold walk in the morning to the main house? And just another thought could the information about the location of the internal door keys be in a more prominent place in the info folder to make it easier to find on arrival? But these are minor points. The property is wonderful and perfect for a large group of mixed ages.

Jeffrey

Brilliant house for a family celebration. Lots of space for everyone to enjoy and relax. House was very clean, agree with some previous reviews that the showers are very loud, however if you're not using them in the middle of the night when people are asleep not sure there is really a problem! Bath towels were soft and bed linen was comfortable. We met the owners on arrival accidently! as we were 30 mins early but they were happy to let us in and were very friendly and welcoming. The pool was great fun, some of the lights in the room weren't working but that didn't stop us using it would maybe just suggest that these are checked for future guests. Would happily recommend this property to others.

This was our second stay at this property so we knew what the routine was, overall we loved our stay, only a slight concern about the lack of instructions regarding the glass disposal, wasnt clear on where to put the bottles, contacted Sykes for some guidance, they werent too sure, so we just put them alongside the recycling bin as advised by Sykes customer services, we did notice when we used the washing machine that it was extremely loud when in use, maybe a service is due on it. But 1010 for everything else, would definitely stay here again.

Jennifer

We had a lovely time as a family weekend. The property and pool were immaculately clean. The facilitates were brilliant catering for our family aged 3 and up to 70. The hamper is a nice welcome.Also the games room and pool entertained everyone.The kitchen was well equipped and enabled us to cater for lots of family meals. The only nit pick is we could have done with more toilet rolls and a warning about the hot water which comes out of the tap which is in the middle of the bath. I would definitely recommend this house to friends and will defiantly be back.

Nicholas

We had a fantastic week at Baytree lodge. It has everything you need and is very spacious. The house, bedding and towels were spotlessly clean. I was very surprised how nice and warm the house is considering the size of it. The highlight was definitely the pool which we all enjoyed everyday. Very close to Weymouth and various supermarkets and we walked it to Weymouth and back along the coast which was lovely. I would definitely recommend Baytree lodge for that perfect getaway. Thank you for the lovely hamper too.

We were really looking forward to this holiday, but said to say we found it lacking. Most of it only niggling little things but they mounted up...from showers that didn't work without loud noises to seats that were so low we had trouble getting out of them. I sat in a chair at the table the whole week and even they were very rickety. We booked it for the swimming pool, which in the end I didn't use due to the flight of steps we had to negotiate. Also lacked a shower in the pool area which meant we would have to have gone upstairs.

We had a fabulous holiday with all of our family ten in total. The children loved the swimming pool, and used it every day. Would thoroughly recommend Baytree Lodge. Unfortunately we won't be booking next year as the property is no longer pet free. When we booked it was pet free, however when discovered pets were now allowed, the owners carried out a full deep clean before we arrived. Thank you for being so understanding

A fabulous holiday home with everything thoughtfully provided. Thank you also for the welcome hamper. The swimming pool was excellent and enjoyed by all the family. Osmington is conveniently placed near Weymouth with all its amenities and the quieter Ringstead Bay where you might be lucky to get an ice cream from the ice cream boat which sails up to the beach ! If there is just one thing missing, it is a recycling bin in the kitchen, but this is a very minor suggestion as everything was perfect.

Antoinette

This was a lovely house with plenty of room for three generations. The ensuite bathrooms to every bedroom were a godsend as was the pool. It is a bit echoey as there are few soft surfaces and it did lack more upright chairs which may have been easier to get out of than the very low, but comfortable, sofas. It was lovely being able to take our dog but be aware the garden is not secure. Fantastic location!

We had a wonderful week at Baytree lodge. We would highly recommend this property. Great location too

Great property, very well equipped, clean and very comfortable, includding the games room. It kept everyone entertained during one rainy, stormy day. A family get together, perfect for my little granddaughter who has additional needs, she really loved the swimming pool. General feedback, not complaints Slide and climbing frame a bit weathered and dinning chairs could do with a cushion, you can feel the springs, couple of showers could not alter shower head angle, but minor as eveything else was perfect. We had a great getaway, with beautiful countryside and local attractions close by. Highly recommend.

We had a lovely family stay in this very well equipped house. The children enjoyed the pool and the adult children enjoyed the games room especially wonder boy from their youth. The views at the back were stunning as were the walks around the village A very large and comfortable house would recommend staying at This property.

We had a great time. The welcome hamper was lovely. Everyone enjoyed the pool and the games room. The property was very clean throughout. The kitchen is stocked well with crockery and glasses. It was a very comfortable property for our family group.

Excellent property in a quiet location convenient for lots of Dorset sightseeing. The swimming pool was wonderful and the maintenance man came regularly at the times advised so no trouble to check everything was ok. Nicely furnished and a well stocked kitchen. I have no hesitation recommending this property

Sandra

Beautiful,clean house,well equipped kitchen,great location,fantastic pool & games room,all 10 of us had a wonderful family holiday. Would highly recommend staying at this property!!!

We were a party of 6 adults and two children. We found the property modern clean and spacious. We enjoyed the hamper and milk awaiting us of our arrival. The pool was great, enjoyed by the children. The games room was excellent, everything worked fine and was in good condition. We were lucky with the weather and used the bbq in the back garden. We would come again and recommend.

The main bathroom light switch kept coming off in your hands, needs a new pull cord. We had to clean the BBQ before use, not an issue for us but just letting you know. We cleaned it after our usage.

Geraldine

Baytree Lodge is beautiful and the highlight for us was the indoor swimming pool, which is lovely and clean and maintained 3 times per week. The kids frequented it daily! We did expect one bedroom to have a king size bed with a single bed so unfortunately we had to take a mattress from the room with 3 single beds to accommodate 2 adults and a young child in a room. All rooms are exceptionally spacious, nicely decorated and bathrooms excellent. The showers were a delight with highly pressured water. The kitchen is superbly stocked with plenty of crockery and glasses etc. which suited us as we cooked a lot. I was disappointed with the cleaning utensils as the mops and brushes werent very clean. We did have a fantastic week and would highly recommend it, especially as we were a large family with adults of various ages and 4 children in total. Thank you so much for a fantastic week.

Sabrina

House is beautiful and big. A really lovely space could use more tea towels and dishwasher tablets as a house that sleeps 10 people should have amenities to match but this is a very minor inconvenience that wouldnt stop us booking again.

Its a lovely property. There were a couple of very minor things that need fixing but overall its a great place to stay. If I was suggesting one thing its that it would be good to have a rail to hep you get into and out of the pool. For older people it would be a real help

Carolyn

The house was lovely but there were a few things that could have been better. 1 Not providing any spare tiolet rolls I phoned and was advised that is all you get.. 2 No towel or soap in the downs stairs toilet .this is a hygeine matter luckely we were only a party of 9 so we could use one bedroom towel. 3 One tea towel for the week for ten people. these seem a bit mean for a 5 star house 4 The cleaniers have left dusty corners and floors around the stairs and banisters.

An amazing property in a lovely location. As others have said some more comfortable outdoor seating would enhance enjoying the weather outdoors. The kitchen is superbly equipped but would benefit from a small frying pan, it was only me that fancied a fried egg breakfast!

Shalin

Very spacious and comfortable property with great facilities. The swimming pool and games room came in handy on rainy days and there was a selection of DVDs and board games to keep the kids entertained. Dream Cottages were quick to respond when we had the occasional query as well so it was a positive experience all round. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting the area.

We had a fabulous family stay at Baytree Lodge. On arrival we immediately felt welcome and there was a lovely bedroom for us all, each one with ensuite facilities. The welcome hamper on the kitchen island is such a lovely touch. We loved the pool and the games room. High standard of cleanliness throughout and we will definitely be back. Our only complaint is that we didnt want to leave!

Very enjoyable stay. The swimming pool was a big part of the children's holiday they loved it.

Booked a 3 night break at Baytree Lodge, a well presented property, very clean and everything you need for a short or long break, highly recommended on our behalf. Checked the property for booking next year, no surprise that it is fully booked, if you get chance to book it, do it quick. The only criticism and it is only a small one, is the size of the showers, looking at the detail put in for its rental value, they could be a little bigger, but thats just my opinion, apart from that, its a cracking property. I gave it 5 stars, but could easily be more..

A beautiful property. Well maintained

Wonderful property everything you would need for a family holiday. Swimming pool was a real bonus, games room great and location excellent. Easy bus ride to Weymouth and all Dorset attractions.

A fab weeks holiday for all 10 of us 6 adults, 4 kids No issues at all and no one wanted to leave. Hopefully we will return in August 2025 is there any way we can put a deposit down to secure this property for Aug 2025?

Baytree Lodge was an amazing property and our holiday was enjoyed by all. The indoor pool was superb and the location of the property was perfect for exploring the area. Would highly recommend this luxurious property.

Bay tree Lodge is the most amazing place to stay for family holidays. The facilities are fantastic and the kitchen has everything you will ever need. The pool was used everyday the children loved it. The bedrooms were most comfortable and fresh all with generous ensuite facilities. The youngest in our party was 1 and the eldest was 81. It was our 2nd time staying and hopefully many more. Thank you

Our second consecutive stay, we love this house and it makes for a great family holiday. With 4 grandchildren between 913 the pool is a real highlight and the bedroomsbathrooms make for easy living. The sink in the main bedroom en suite appears blocked and needs attention please.

Daniel

A lovely spacious and well maintained property which is perfectly located for visiting the local resorts of Weymouth and Lulworth. The property was accurate to the listing with great amenities of pool, games room and play area which is great for families. I would certainly recommend this property

Warm spacious accommodation exactly as described in the brochure. There were ten of us staying for a family birthday in February, the four children ages ranging from 5 to 13, had plenty to occupy them and the adults had plenty of space to get away from them if necessary! The property was more spacious than expected, very warm and well equipped with two fridgefreezers and two ovens and two small microwaves. There was a 'Dorset Happy Hamper' and milk in the fridge on our arrival which was a welcome surprise. All bedrooms had the same corner shower which worked well for us all but some people may find the space a bit tight. However the family bathroom was very spacious. The triple bedroom and one of the doubles are above the swimming pool and there was a slight hum from the boiler noticeable in both bedrooms. Although this did not disturb us, light sleepers may want to sleep in one of the other bedrooms. The property is set back from the main road with no noticeable traffic noise and there was ample parking for our four vehicles. It is a short stroll from the coastal path and a nice circular walk inland to see the chalk carving on the hill. None of our group wanted to leave and we had to drag the children out of the swimming pool on the morning we departed. A great holiday in a great property thank you.

Michelle

We had another lovely relaxing Christmas at Baytree Lodge. The property has always been presented in immaculate condition everything was simply perfect. Thank you
