Reviews

what our guests are saying

I stayed one week in Ruth Ann’s loft suite and it was absolutely lovely. Very clean, newish & impeccable private bathroom, authentic heritage feeling in this modern home. Gracious host who accommodated my schedule; helpful & great communicator. Excellent location in Cobourg and for accessing nature all around it. Would gladly stay here again.

The Amherst House Bed and Breakfast is a glorious and magical place to stay. A gorgeous and whimsical home, garden and outdoor patio…a Garden of Eden. Not a single detail is overlooked. I can’t imagine a better place to stay and a better host and hostess anywhere! We loved it. Thank you so much for your hospitality. What a charming location…can’t wait to visit again.

Ruth should be promoted from a “super host” to a “super super host”. She is so kind and respectful, we arrived late and she and her amazing husband Wayne have welcomed us so nicely. Although our stay was only a one night we enjoyed every moment and definitely will come back to stay longer. Thanks Ruth and Wayne, you made our stay unforgettable. P.S: we loved your French toast for breakfast.

From the moment we arrived, Ruth-Ann and Wayne made us feel at home. And what a home they have! Our suite, Cottage Cove, located in the lower level, came fully equipped, was comfortable, cozy, and wonderfully cool despite the warm to hot weather outside. We lacked for nothing. But the best part of our stay was getting to know our hosts. Ruth-Ann and Wayne are the kindest, most considerate people you will ever meet and it shows through in their hospitality. Highly recommended.
