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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
