Summer Lodge

We had the most amazing night at this hotel. The room (23) was flawless and so gorgeous, not to mention spotless. It was so nice to be away from the hustle and business of life for an evening. We had our pooch with us, she was so spoilt, her own bed, towel, treats, sausage at breakfast and not to mention all the love she received from staff. The only thing that let our experience down from a 5* to a 4* was how we were greeted to the hotel. We are a younger couple visiting, it was a rare treat for us. As we went in two receptionists looked at us rather confused and assumed we were there for a ‘tour of the grounds’, we said we wanted to check in and then after received our welcome. We also experienced this at the spa, we walked in and the lady at the desk assumed we wanted a ‘day pass’ rather than asking if we were guests of the hotel and how we were. It was a shame because we were already so happy with the hotel and what it had to offer us. First impressions are so essential, especially when paying top money, so top service is also expected. Especially when is was a rare treat for us. I will mention that whilst we were at breakfast, our server was doing an exceptional job, he was so attentive whilst being so busy, I didn’t catch his name but we had breakfast this morning (11th May) and he was just amazing. Breakfast was also exceptional!

A favourite Hotel of ours . A visit last week was another wonderful break. Summer Lodge has a feel of true quality, peace and tranquility that comes with a top quality County House Hotel . Staff here are quietly efficient, friendly and eager to assist . Spa facilities were again excellent and we also enjoyed the large indoor pool, complete with great loungers. We loved the little touches that make Summer Lodge notches better than it’s competitors - the home made shortbread and fruit in the room , the selection of Newspapers at breakfast , the gift for your journey home of bottled water and cookies . On this visit we particularly enjoyed the magnificent gardens , not huge but beautifully kept and presented . Soft chairs and swing seats readily available, all discreetly placed around the garden area . There is a good terrace for lunch or the popular afternoon tea , or indeed pre dinner drink . Dinner a joy and breakfast too ( menu includes kippers, haddock and Salmon) Bread from the Village Bakery in Eversholt . Well done Tom Alex and Jack , the GMs for maintaining the highest of standards . A Hotel we look forward to to returning to again soon .

A fantastic lunch, delicious food and wine in the most civilised surroundings. Courteous and attentive service without being overbearing.

First trip away in 9 years as we approach the end of life. A truly memorable occasion in a 5 star hotel taking our little westies away for the first time. They could not have done enough for us to make our 3 night stay on B&B and Evening meal better. Stunning grounds, great pub, superb food, and quite honestly the very best place I have ever stayed at for a short break. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. My wifes 79th birthday was made special by all these incredible people that run the hotel and my dogs got 5 start treatment. Lovely walks around in a charming village that took us back in time. I have been on many top class cruise ships in my time but this place made them look ordinary. Maybe we will still be alive in a few years to go again but for now we are reeling with 3 days of great memory and food to die for!

Service was exceptional the rooms are superbly decorated very spacious, quiet and comfortable. The outside grounds and surrounding area is lovely and we had a lovely time as well at their pub the Acorn .
