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 stay. The welcome was very kind. A notice about the current works so a diversion around the works in the village which was easy enough thank you for letting us know. Sarah deserves a special mention - one of the amazing gardeners. Sarah had just finished pruning the rose garden - it looked fabulous. Had a lovely walk around the grounds at sunset wonderful. Very much looking forward to our drinks in the bar and the lovely restaurant. 5 Stars - very happy. Thanks again to Sarah - excellent guest rapport, you have a special member of staff here.

We enjoyed a wonderful family stay this past weekend, nothing short of perfection. Very comfortable bedrooms so well equipped with extra large beds and luxurious bathrooms. To top it all, the delicious food provided at dinner will long stay in our memory. The staff and management gave such friendly and efficient service , it’s no surprise that Visit England chose it as The Small Hotel of the year in 2025.
