Summer Lodge

Most hotels require a two night stay if staying on a Saturday so we were exceedingly pleased to find Summer Lodge had one night stays available - we had this time away to celebrate our 55th wedding anniversary and we weren’t disappointed - we were made very welcome and shown to our room on the first floor and everything was explained to us. We started our celebration with afternoon tea and later a meal in the restaurant - both were delicious, the staff were excellent and their attention to detail was second to none. We were impressed with our little bag of water and cookies to take away with us.

We went for afternoon tea. I hadn’t had breakfast or lunch in anticipation. I decided to have the savoury tea…..what a feast of charcuterie cheeses scones and sandwiches…. Ido also sample a couple of bits from the sweet one. Wow!!!! Everything was exquisite

We recently spent 3 wonderful nights at The Summer Lodge in Dorset with family. Absolutely delightful hotel set in beautiful grounds in the heart of the village of Evershot. The location is perfect for visiting Dorset, Devon and Somerset, with easy access to the Jurassic Coast. The hotel is lovely, bright, fresh and updated, yet maintaining old world charm. It is quiet, peaceful and relaxing. The rooms (we had Classic Kings) were clean, spacious, very comfortable and included French Press coffee and a selection of teas. There is a good-sized pool and a small gym adjacent to the spa. The restaurant food was excellent, with multiple choices and menus to suit everyone. Most importantly, the staff were outstanding. Without exception, kind, helpful and welcoming, and they made our trip very special. We would certainly highly recommend The Summer Lodge for anyone visiting the South West of England and will definitely return when next we are in the area.

Lovely little gem in Hardy country. The hotel feels extremely personal which is a great accolade to the staff who could not be more helpful. The hotel is spotless throughout. We ate at both the hotel restaurant and the Acorn inn and the food was good at both. Never be afraid to ask for anything including local advice. The facilities for a small hotel are very nice, particularly the spa area. We will definitely return if we are visiting the area. All the staff are helpful and courteous but I would particularly like to commend Philip for his local advice and help..

One of the most incredible experiences we’ve had. The team at Summer Lodge were exceptional from start to finish attentive, knowledgeable, genuinely welcoming and incredibly professional. Every detail felt considered, and the level of service made the whole experience feel very special. Having our own catering business, we probably notice the small details more than most, and we came away hugely impressed by the entire team. Summer Lodge should be incredibly proud of the people representing them. We would return without hesitation and simply cannot recommend Summer Lodge highly enough.
