We decided to stay for one night over the August Bank Holiday weekend at Summer Lodge, and the short stay we had exceeded all of our expectations. We were booked into a superior room and had booked in on the discovery package which included a three course meal in the restaurant accompanied by wines recommended by the sommelier. I was... more

Found this Hotel from this site, and the recommendations are spot on. Visited in winter, and found the set-up very cosy and enchanting, log fires, good food (It should be mentioned that we found the food to be Michelin star quality ), lovely surrounds, and a very positive and helpful staff set-up. Although the Hotel is a bit higgledy-piggledy with... more

We stayed for a few days with our young daughter, as this is part of England we haven’t explored that much. We booked one of the small two bedroom cottages which were excellent and full of character, in the grounds of the hotel. The pool and gym were both small but excellent and spotlessly clean. There was also a small... more

We spent a blissful week at Summer Lodge earlier this month. We have stayed in many wonderful hotels around the world and this is one of the best. Summer Lodge is on the edge of the picturesque village of Evershot, surrounded by beautiful gardens amid attractive rolling countryside. The hotel is elegantly furnished and decorated and the rooms very comfortable.... more

Exceptional place. Check out the spa as well, well worth it! The food and service was amazing. more

A 3 night stay and a consistently high standard throughout. The attention of staff was exceptional, particularly in the dining room. Food quality was superb. This is also a great spot for exploring the Dorset coastline. We would particularly recomment Nat Trust site at Studland. more

We have been going to SL for about 4 years now and I can honestly say we have never had cause to complain about anything. Don't get me wrong - I love a good moan and as my husband would testify, I think this is the only hotel we have stayed at where we HAVEN"T changed rooms. Don't go to... more

My husband and I enjoyed a 3 night mid week break here to celebrate our 20th Wedding anniversary. On arrival we were upgraded to Ivy Cottage which is a superb cottage next to the hotel with sitting/dining room, bedroom, huge bathroom with roll top bath, separate shower room, garden, jacuzzi/hot tub in outbuilding in garden. It was wonderful! Every night... more

This was my first stay at Summer Lodge, and what a weekend to remember. We took a family friend to celebrate his 60th birthday; from the time we drove up the drive to our departure the service was excellent. The hotel requested likes, dislikes and treated us to our choice of music and reading materials in our rooms. The food... more
