Decor a little old-fashioned for some tastes
The Bay Tree House is a quintessentially English suburban bed and breakfast located in a typical residential London street on the northern outskirts of town. Room decor is quaint and old-fashioned, even bordering on kitschy, but flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi bring some modernity to proceedings. Its location means it's not ideal for access to the city center, and it's not super cheap for a B&B, but it is a pleasant and peaceful option if the area suits.
Scene
A discreet slice of domestic suburbia inside and out
You'd be hard pressed to distinguish the Bay Tree House B&B from any of the other properties on this quintessentially suburban street, lacking even a sign to indicate its presence. Entering the semi-detached house, the interiors too give little indication that you're not stepping into a typical family home, beyond perhaps a hallway chandelier and bunches of fresh flowers in the reception area. The ambience is intimate and domestic, and tends to attract a slightly older traveler who is keen to experience a slice of residential London, well away from the bustle of the city center.
Location
Set in a suburban residential North London street, a five-minute walk from Arnos Grove tube
The Bay Tree House Bed & Breakfast is located in the north London suburbs of New Southgate. Its near the North Circular ring road, and 25 minutes from the M25, London's ring road. The nearest tube stop is Arnos Grove, a five-minute walk away, which connects directly to central London via the Piccadilly Line. The trip takes about half an hour.
Rooms
Old English meets suburban kitsch with flat-screen TVs and DVD players
This B&B has just four rooms, three of which are named after flowers and are decorated in the theme of their respective floral namesakes. The style is Old English meets suburban kitsch, with tasseled lampshades, patchwork quilts, and gilded picture frames. All rooms include flat-screen TVs with DVD players, and modern bathrooms have heated towel rails and large walk-in showers. Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms, but there are no in-room telephones.

Full breakfast served each morning in dining room overlooking the garden
