Had a wonderful t2 night stay at the The Summer Lodge Hotel. A beautiful country house hotel and really welcoming to dogs. The staff are very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Excellent dining experience so we will definitely return.

We arrived on Friday 11th, not ample parking but just enough. The sun was shining, and the hotel looked amazing, we were greeted by the concierge who helped with navigation to the reception, where meet and greet took place, and a familiarization tour . Our room was air-conditioned a long with a welcome pack. Everyone was nice welcoming, professional, and above all, nothing seems to be any trouble. Therest of the day was atmospheric divine, balling water features croquet lawns, the list is admirable. And I must add, on departure we had a travel pack gift for our home journey. Thank you. Enjoyable hundred. We will be back.

This was a complimentary return visit following the one we made last summer where we had some issues regarding customer service. Pleased to say this was much improved. Treatments were great and the therapist went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable. The cream tea was great and the scones deliciously light.

A luxurious couple of days for my birthday left us feeling pampered and spoilt. The staff were charming and engaged, ensuring we had everything we wanted. The gardens were beautiful, pool and spa were spotless. The bed was huge and very comfortable. Our package included a 3 course meal at the hotel and a 3 course meal at the Acorn Inn in the village .. both were superb. Home made shortbread in the room was delicious as were the special birthday chocolates and welcome glass of fizz. Quintessential old style charm in abundance.

We had the most wonderful stay with my family at Summer Lodge over the Easter break! The staff are amazing and go out of their way to fulfil any requests, the spa is beautiful and so are the grounds and the bedrooms. It is really like a country retreat and so comfortable we didn't want to leave! We also ate in the lovely restaurant where the food was so delicious and also sampled the sister hotel, The Acorn Inn, where we also had a gourmet meal. All I can say is that we cannot wait to be back! Thank you everyone at Summer Lodge for making our stay unforgettable!

My Wife and I were treated to Afternoon Tea, by my Son and Daughter -in-Law. At this Beautiful and elegant Hotel, situated deep in the Beautiful Dorset Countryside. The Staff were excellent, well presented and well mannered and very helpful. The surrounding were luxurious and the Standard of food was exceptional. Endless amounts of Quality Teas served from pots with proper Leaf Tea. In addition to perfectly presented Sandwiches, Scones with Jam and Clotted Cream and a large selection of Delicious Cakes, not to mention two mini quiches as an appetiser before the food stand was put on our Table. My Wife and I would thoroughly recommend the Summer Lodge Hotel for a lovely Sunday Afternoon Tea or Lunch or Dinner. The grounds of this Hotel are stunning and I would love to spend a night in such Luxury. A big thank you to all the Staff at the Summer Lodge Hotel for such a lovely experience.

Summer Lodge is absolutely superb and a rare traditional gem in the beautiful Dorset countryside. Sometimes it’s the little details which make a big difference such as staff remembering your name and your past visits, your kettle being topped up with fresh water on turndown, delicious homemade shortbread in your room topped up daily, notes and gifts from housekeeping, high quality linen/bedding/pillows and of course a very comfortable bed. From the moment you arrive you are made to feel welcome with personalised service from the excellent team. As you would expect dinner is an occasion with pre-dinner drinks in the drawing room, an amuse bouche, delicious homemade bread before three courses including the option for a traditional cheese trolley. Breakfast was also excellent - particular mention to Philip for his special attention. This really is a jewel in the Red Carnation crown and we look forward to returning again.
