Summer Lodge

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.

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.
