Summer Lodge

Fantastic day I had a full body scrub and facial absolute bliss. Had time in the pool before treatments and relaxed in the sun after before going to the hotel for a cream tea. Will be visiting again hopefully soon

There are not enough words to describe this beautiful accommodation, the grounds, the food and their wonderful staff. We were lucky enough to stay here for a wedding and were absolutely blown away. The rooms are absolutely spotless and timelessly beautiful, the staff simply cannot do enough to ensure you’re comfortable and the grounds and facilities are breathtaking. We simply cannot wait to be back, this time, with our toddler in tow, as it’s quite clear they’re also very family friendly. Absolutely wonderful - don’t think twice!

Delightful hotel in a glorious quiet Dorset location. Country house style decor. Excellent pool and spa. Delicious food. What makes this hotel really special are the staff who were exceptional. We were made to feel welcome from the minute we arrived. We needed an early dinner to get to a meeting. Arranged cheerfully and flawlessly.

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.)

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 🙂
