Great stay, very relaxing and welcoming, and delicious food - thank you James and Catherine!
Christabel
A brilliant, warm welcome from the owners and a lovely, comfortable night's sleep in this B&B which is really close to the town centre so really convenient. The breakfast was outstanding and served with a smile.
John
James and Katherine are friendly and attentive hosts and very happy to accommodate our request for a quiet room. The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was excellent. The location is convenient for the town centre, with on street parking outside (free after 4pm). We enjoyed our overnight stay at Amonite Lodge.
Gabriel
We were made to feel very welcomed! We really enjoyed our stay.
Jackie
Had a lovely stay at the Ammonite guest house. The hosts were very attentive. The parking was either just outside or a space for a car around the back. Warning, it's a very small lane, wing mirrors in! 😂. The breakfast was very filling. Lots to choose from. Would definitely book again.
Mark
Breakfast nice. Parking is outside on road. Bedding is very comfy.
Kathy
Excellent Breakfast!
quirky little B&B in Chard centre. Very quiet town - only arrive din teh evening and left straight after breakfast - which wa svery very nice. James and his wife were very welcoming and friendly. Get there before 10pm if your'e travelling from afar - its' not 24hr check in . Ithink I had a single occupancy room - it was very clean and enough room - bathroom was compact!
Iain
A pleasant and polite stay, thank you
Gary
Excellent choice
This B&B was excellent, the staff were very friendly and helpful and went out of there way to accommodate me. The breakfast was excellent and had plenty of options. The room was very clean quiet and the bed was very comfortable . Will visit again
Kate
James and Katherine were wonderful hosts. James helped us procure a parking spot right in front of the property. The room was at the top with nice beds, furniture, and decor. Our hosts provided delicious breakfast. Great stay while visiting family in nearby Crewkerne.
Matthew
Lovely B&B, made to feel very welcome. Will stay again next time we are visiting the area.
Tony
Such great care and attention to their guests! Really impressed by homemade bread, marmalade and jam!! Would recommend staying there. Thank you to our lovely hosts
Gill
Overnight stay with our Grandson who is 4. Lively family room in the attic with its own bathroom. Very low ceilings throughout so tall people beware! Lovely warm welcome, comfortable beds, and delicious breakfast. Well worth staying here if visiting Chard.
Linda
I love old houses. It is so fun to imagine who lived there 200 years ago.
This is an amazing place and I am sure I will be back.

Great welcome here and well-equipped room. Very helpful and caring hosts make you feel \"at home\". Location is perfect ... on the edge of town, opposite the museum, and an easy walk to many restaurants and shops, including great fish and chips at Whites.
Room 3, however, is better for one than two, having limited space around the bed and a lock, unlock, lock, unlock precess to use the bathroom down the corridor. Bathroom is not serviced during visit. The \"quilt\" is unusually heavy and firm.

We loved our time at Ammonite lodge guest house.

Nice welcome when we first arrived, shown to our room which was clean and comfortable, however, the bathroom in room 5 was very small, with a toilet sounding like the ones on a plane, and not comfortable. Breakfast was good, with a good choice. Overall a nice place, but over the top with ornaments.

Good stay in cosy hotel
Good points were very friendly & welcoming, room was clean/tidy & cosy, breakfast was excellent.
Not so good was the road noise as we were at the front of the hotel and I guess it was a bit unavoidable.

We never had off street parking
Ian
James and Catherine were excellent hosts; organized, friendly, helpful. The property is old as one can see and the rooms are cosy in size but contain all the amenities one needs. The breakfasts are wonderful and food allergies are catered for. Dining options are within comfortable walking distance. Parking is on the street outside and should be available nearby. We had a most enjoyable stay.
Tim
Would definitely stay again.
Could not have had a more pleasant stay.
A very warm welcome, escorted to the rooms and had everything explained.
Our rooms were spotless, adequately sized and with en suit.
The parking was limited but we had no issue after 1700 getting a space outside.
Breakfast was always out promptly at the time requested, the choice was plenty and quality was top.
For a small town there are a few eateries for dinner, if you choose to eat local.

We received a very friendly welcome before being shown to our room. The choices for breakfast meant everyone was catered for. Breakfast was very tasty and again there was a warm greeting. Nothing was too much trouble. We were offered recommendations for where we could eat in the evening and where to park. Our room was clean and comfortable and the price we paid was very reasonable. If we're travelling this way again we would definitely rebook.

Whether it’s a staging post on a longer journey or a base to explore, Ammonite Lodge is perfect. The rooms are spotless , comfortable and contains great products and facilities.

Fossil history was interesting.

Excellent overnight stay
From first being met by Katherine and James until leaving in the morning our hosts were amazing. Nothing was too much bother. We stayed in room six (the family room at the top) which was spotlessly clean along with the bathroom. Breakfast (pre ordered due to covid) was beautiful with top class ingredients. We will definitely return if in the area again.
Mary
Best location and such comfort
Lovely room with a spacious and airy bathroom. The whole guest house is so charming and confortable. Its in the best location, right in the centre of Chard so you can just walk to a coffee shop in less than 2 minutes.

A lovely welcome from James and Catharine. Room was very clean with a nice view of the garden. We slept well and woke in our own time, so very quiet.

Lovely place to stay
This is a lovely place to stay - warm, comfortable and very clean. James and Katherine are very welcoming and sociable. The breakfast is perfect. Just a short walk to the shops but far enough out of the centre so that it is quiet. I will definitely stay here again when visiting Chard

Very friendly hosts. Katherine made sure we were very comfortable & made us a nice pot of tea when we arrived. Breakfast was very good, we had full English and there was plenty of continental buffet foods available including delicious fresh fruit. Room was clean & comfortable.

Katherine and James were most welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed a cup of tea and biscuits in the comfortable lounge and Katherine suggested several places for an evening meal, one of which we visited and had a memorable meal.
There is nothing negative to record about our stay at all and we would not hesitate to visit Ammonite Lodge in the future.

Great Stay
I stayed 2 nights visiting family in the nearby area. I was warmly welcomed by Katherine on my arrival. The whole cottage including my room was clean to a very high standard and comfortable for my stay. Breakfast was delicious with home made granola and plenty of options as well as a great cooked breakfast made to your requirements. Both Katherine & James were friendly and personable remembering guests preferences and happy to offer any assistance you may need for the local area. Highly recommend if you are in the area.
Verified traveler
Possibly the cleanest hotel or B and B I've ever stayed in. James and Katherine are great hosts and can't do enough for you. Some v nice touches like bringing a flask of cold milk to your room. Breakfast is excellent. The building is historic so rooms aren't huge and one of the rooms for our party was not as big as the other but it had a lovely view over the garden. Our room faced the road, but windows were well insulated and a fan was provided so we slept well and were very comfortable. Most hotels and B and Bs seem to be right on the road in this area. Chard is an excellent base for exploring the local area. We were going to base in Lyme Regis but I'm glad we didn't as there are 3 excellent restaurants close to Chard and it was much easier to get to places from here. Ammonite lodge is excellent value. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved the place: it’s a charming, quaint old cottage that’s had a sympathetic B&B conversion and is exceptionally neat, tidy and spotlessly clean.
James and Katherine are exceptionally welcoming and helpful, and good fun.
Everything in the breakfast room was beautifully presented and laid out with precision, and the hearty breakfast was, of course, exceptional! Everything is home-made or sourced locally. James makes his own bread, preserves and granola.
Our room was “bijou” but well-appointed, and everything was provided - including fresh milk, a torch, and earplugs(!!). Larger rooms are available but our room felt ‘snug’ and we loved it.
Ours was a late booking for one night, but there’s lots to see and do within easy reach so we will be planning a longer stay in the future.
Thank you, James and Katherine!

Guesthouse with character, lovely room and great b
Run by a very friendly and helpful couple. Ammonite Lodge has a lot of character and the room and bathroom were clean and very nice. Breakfast was cooked perfectly. Our only small critism was that the bed was firmer than we ideally like but that is just a matter of personal preferance. Definitely to be recommended.
