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.

Amazing hosts

It was a flying visit for us but in the short time we were there we were made to feel incredibly welcome. The owners are just the sweetest couple - on their actions alone we would most definitely stay again! The room was very comfortable and breakfast was delicious.

We had a very enjoyable one-night stay at Ammonite Lodge. Both James and Katherine are very welcoming and we thoroughly enjoyed a delicious home-made breakfast. James’ granola deserves a special mention!

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.

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.

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.

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.
