The Guest Book

Read on to see what some of our guests have had to say about their visits to Amherst Lodge.

The quotes below appear exactly as they were written by our guests.

"You are going to be hard pushed to beat the all-round feel of this place. Other places do some things better but this place has it all and does it all well".

"We stayed at Amherst Lodge for the New Year Eve of 1997 -- and got engaged. We are returning for 1998. The romantic ambiance is unbeatable, and the menus memorable."

"How sorry we are to move on from this idyll. It is everything we could wish. - The garden, the fawns, the babbling brook, the walk in the bluebell woods and very importantly - the friendly welcome. We will recommend it to others back home"

"Perfect pillows, marvelous home-made marmalade, butter that's not in those stupid fiddly packs, stupendous six foot wide bed, magnificent dinner. Top hole and first class. The fish are very cool and sophisticated"

"Beyond our expectations! A delightful few days in a beautiful area, backed by a friendly welcome and warm comfort. We would love to come back again"

"Hands-down the best B&B I have ever stayed in. The food was spectacular, the atmosphere cozy. I've never felt so well cared for. Thank you for a lovely stay! I'll be sure to recommend you to friends."

"A secret haven of peace and tranquillity, truly relaxing. Amherst Lodge is warm and snug, even in the first Autumn frost! We enjoyed the unexpected variety of plants in the garden and the cozy sitting room. The wonderful breakfast including the delicious strong coffee set us up for the Golden Cap circular walk (highly recommended - 7 miles) see book on "Walks in West Dorset"! Thank you for a serene time (and the champagne glasses!). We shall recommend you to our friends."

"Our one night stay was wonderful, very beautiful gardens, the house just lovely, the personal touches very thoughtful. Definitely the best so far on our trip, wish we could have stayed a week"

"Lovely old house and extremely pleasant and friendly atmosphere. Not like a B&B or Guest House/Hotel, more of a stay with friends in a wonderful part of the country"

"Normally I stay at Wolsey Lodges when travelling but some dear friends insisted that I should visit and I am delighted to have discovered such a super and refreshingly unstuffy house".

"Very enjoyable stay - all too brief. Many thanks, we will be back for the fishing"

"Fantastic stay - deeply peaceful location, fabulous bed and wonderful attention to detail make it probably the best place we have ever stayed."

"A delightful place for a birthday treat"

"Everything perfect. I saw bullfinches from the window and heard tawny owls, Paul got up early to go fishing but didn't catch anything - of course he said he had the wrong fly!"

"Amherst is sheer paradise! We had a short break to celebrate my birthday and it was absolutely terrific"

"They have got it just right here at Amherst - from our warm welcome and fresh flowers in the room to the delicious dinner. It has been the small details that have made our stay so special and enjoyable"

"Very beautiful, very friendly, evening meal here is a must. Chesil Beach and Golden Cap impressive. Local area a good place to play 'pub cricket': 1 point per limb of the pub name you pass on your side of the car (e.g. The White Hart = 4 points). Points deducted if you pass royalty (e.g. The Royal Crown)"

"As someone who is used to endless hotels on business trips, this place is more relaxing than any I have visited for many years. There's no pool or cable TV or mini bar but the home comforts are real, the people are genuine and the setting is unbeatable"
