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.

For the traveller that wishes to be amazed

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 days ago

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.

Customer service much improved

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

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.

The best hotel for British getaway!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

WOW! We have just left Summer lodge after a few days break! Well we absolutely cannot recommend with hotel enough! We stayed in room 12 what was fully equipped for myself my partner and our dog, a large bedroom with the added bonus of a garden patio. The room had everything we needed and was extremely clean and fully equipped. Even with a casual stocked bar. Everything regarding this stay made it extra special, the staff especially who went over and beyond for us. Every need was met with a smile and perfect professionalism. (A special shout out to Philip who truly made our stay extra memorable) the food offered in the restaurant and the acorn pub was truly delightful. Offering the highest of quality and presentation and of course taste. We cannot thank all the team enough and we cannot wait to return again for another break away. If you looking for a wonderful break where every part of your stay is taken care of, Summer lodge is the place to go!

Quintessential English charm

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

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.

Summer Lodge in Dorset, England is a class above the rest. Our room had a copper bath with a book holder, a candle holder and a holder for two champagne flutes—that’s what I call attention to detail. The food is of Michelin-starred quality. The staff is attentive and professional, like the French sommelier who guided us towards more obscure and daring vintages, and hit the spot each time.
