We stayed at the Summer Lodge for a week in the half term holiday. If you want to feel at home, comfortable and peaceful in what feels like your very own country retreat then this is the place to go in Dorset. The House retains its original character and the staff are very attentive yet unobtrusive. The staff are so... more

Amazing from beginning to end. Summer Lodge is a truly exceptional experience. The service is unmatched in terms of dedication to you as their guest. The dining is stellar – should be starred - food, service, wine all mesh together flawlessly. The cheese cart is all local. Our room was huge, comfortable and quiet. From the minute you enter and... more

We booked a single night with this hotel for a quick getaway; a fantastic hotel with excellent facilities - we stayed in the "cottage" which is separate to the main house, but only a 1 minute walk away; a lovely room with plenty of space and very quiet. The Hotel has a really nice pool with Spa facilities. Good location... more

We have just enjoyed a wonderful extended weekend at the Summer Lodge. The rooms are luxurious, the food excellant and the wine celler extensive what more you could you need. The cherry on the cake though is the staff, they know your name, your preferences and they really cannot do enough for you. The Dorset countryside is beautiful and the... more

My wife and I stayed 2 nights in early January as a rest from Christmas and New Year festivities. This is the first time I have ever been contacted in advance by a hotel to get our preferences for blankets/duvet, foam/feather pillows; what dinner reservations we required etc etc. We arrived about 5pm when it was already dark and were... more

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon. She had stipulated two conditions: 'somewhere with a spa and good food'. I had overlaid my own conditions - a small hotel that offered exceptional service. In all areas Summer Lodge exceeded expectations. I had booked us into Room No 1, which is spacious, beautifully decorated, with a 4 poster bed... more

This is a fantastic place to go for a bit of rest and relaxation. It's in a picturesque village called Evershot which has a pub doing great food also owned by the hotel and a village shop/gift shop. The grounds are immaculate and beautiful even in the winter, the trees on the driveway are lit up with fairy lights, it... more

Stayed 2 nights last week-end in one of their suites and had a great time: great, large room with conservatory, really comfortable bed, excellent service, pretty amazing hotel all round. The food was wonderful (although cheap it ain't!) - the chef really knows how to combine different foods in one dish to create amazing flavours. Only downsides were the staff... more

Just back from a 2 night stay at the Summer Lodge and can't think of a bad word to say about it. Great staff, great rooms, great grounds - can't fault any of it. The pool is lovely , a little too warm and small for any serious swimming but great for lounging around in. We stayed Sun & Mon... more
