Summer Lodge Country House Hotel

The staff were amazing , room very small & bathroom even smaller no full size bath , only 1 chair in room , plugs in wardrobe & not beside the bed , breakfast was amazing quality & service , disappointed with the spa not being within the hotel so you had to walk through the car park & up to it , so no wearing slippers & robes to get to it , also the size of the changing rooms were tiny with only 1 changing room , sauna only big enough for 2 people , pool was great & jacuzzi, but that’s because it was only my husband & another couple , wouldn’t like to be there when busy . For £650 for 2 nights with breakfast felt it was not worth the money and have stayed in a lot cheaper hotels with better rooms & facilities

Lovely location. Nice hotel with comfortable rooms. Food and service outstanding.

Really nice place to stay we really enjoyed our selfs. Everything is expensive but these types of hotels are a treat for us and I found it worth the extra !, By far one of out good 3 hotels to stay at.

Lovely weekend break - friendly attentive staff, great food, good wine and a nice room in one of the edge of site cottages complete with a working fireplace and a huge copper tub in the bathroom. Made good use of the spa facilities. I am sure we will stay here again.

Had a 2 night relaxing stay. Were a few problems with original room we booked. This was quickly resolved. Bea was extremely professional and helpful in all matters. Breakfast and dinner was excellent. All staff very friendly and most helpful. We felt ‘cosseted’. Gardens beautiful and relaxing. Spa land pool looked lovely although did not use.

Superb - only improvement required is poor drainage with en-suite sink and bathroom very dated in design and decor. Needs modernising. Noticed that majority of clientele quite elderly, would be beneficial to have tiled walk in showers. Everything else really good and we thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay.

Fantastic service, as always. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was excellent

We had an amazing stay it’s such a beautiful old home which has been converted with much love and care The staff were amazing and couldn’t do enough for us Would highly recommend

So impressed with this hotel. From the welcome to the goodbye, the highest standards, at all times. Friendly, polite and professional staff. The room.was clean and well.presented, with full range of refreshments. We are a newly married couple. Arrived, to champagne in ice bucket and card, congratulating us on getting married. Restaurant food was woderful, well presented and generous. Impressed with attention to detail. My sunday newspaper was in a bag , on our room door handle. Forgot i ordered it! Impressed with this. The grounds were beautifully presented. The environment was peaceful. Came back feeling well rested and refreshed. Definitely staying next summer. A 5 star hotel worthy of 6 stars!

This is a quintessential English country house hotel. The staff were 10/10, very professional and friendly. My wife and I have travelled the world and stayed at some of the finest hotels, Summer Lodge is up there for its unique portrayal of English tradition mixed with the finest food. The dinner was absolutely fabulous and ranked along with our experience on the Orient Express ( French Train) as the finest meal we had ever eaten. Tucked away in Hardy’s beautiful county of Dorset this is a must go hotel for a relaxing break. Prices are very reasonable and there are offers available that make this a very attractive venue for a short break. Food, service and location will all score top marks. I particularly recall a young French female waitress who was outstanding in her manner and service. Not our first visit but the food was without doubt the best so far, always first class but this time a class above the rest. The beef just sublime!!!!
