About the Hotel

Arriving at Summer Lodge Country House Hotel, Restaurant and Spa feels like stepping into a Thomas Hardy novel. That might be because the author is in its bones: An architect by profession, Hardy helped his friend, the 6th Earl of Ilchester, draw up the plans for the addition to the 18th century dower house. You won’t want to miss traditional afternoon tea, served daily in the glass-walled conservatory or drawing room and accompanied by homemade scones, strawberry jam and Dorset clotted cream. For an even more quintessential English experience, don a pair of Wellies and go for a romp through the adjacent 600-acre deer park (or if you’re artistically inclined, the lodge will set you up with painting supplies to capture the beauty of the idyllic landscape).

A wonderful relaxing experience with great service - thoroughly recommend.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 day ago

Superb experience, wonderful service and a memorable visit. We stayed for two nights to celebrate 'twixb-day' (the day between my husband and my daughter's birthdays) and also to go to a wedding nearby on Saturday. From start to finish the staff were wonderful, subtle, friendly and exquisite service. We were greeted with birthday treats in the rooms taking a chocolate intolerance into account and the staff were so helpful throughout our stay. Would definitely recommend and return. The food was excellent too. (The only thing I would like to mention is that £400 deposit was taken from our credit card on arrival as a room deposit which made me feel very uneasy that they trusted their customers so much. In fact it was then put towards our dinner and food so no issue but a huge shame that they do this.)

Memorable Spa Day for a joint birthday celebration

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

We booked a Bespoke Spa Day by email with Mia and Thea for myself and my best friend for a joint big birthday treat. On arrival we met Mia who was very welcoming. The Spa is set in the kitchen garden slightly away from the main hotel and has a good sized pool, jacuzzi and sauna. We both enjoyed tailor made treatments including a full body massage, mini facial and leg revival. The day beds faced out to the garden with the doors open and a welcome breeze (who would have thought we would be there during a heatwave!). Flavoured water and little muffins available during the day. Lunch on the patio outside the restaurant was a nice choice of light small plate salads, sandwiches or a more substantial burger. Later after our treatments we had a cream tea also served on the patio overlooking the beautifully kept gardens. All the staff were smartly dressed, polite, attentive and engaged. Overall we had a memorable day for our belated birthday celebration and will recommend it to others 🙂

My husband & I stayed here on 21st July for 3 nights it is our haven of peace as the staff are just so kind & make one feel SO at home . Zsolt a staff member remembered us kindly from our lady stay in March celebrating our 51st wedding anniversary _ The garden one can walk around is beautifully designed & the gardeners are great __ there plenty of car spaces too _ there is a tennis court & a swimming pool ( under cover ) plus Spa so one is spoilt for choice of things to do we cannot thank the staff enough front desk ladies are awesome along with Pete, Max & the lovely breakfast manageress who always greets us so warmly cannot wait to come back in November .
