The service at this hotel is amazing! Katrina checked us in (and out), and we were lucky enough to get a cottage suite. A little walk from the main building but we loved it! Buster took care of us and explained a little of the history and Thomas Hardy’s connection. The service at meal times was impeccable and there is a very large variety of dishes to choose from. Spa has everything that you need from a spa including a large indoor pool. We only stayed one night, but this hotel is definitely on my list for a return visit.

Very nice place to visit, warm and stylish with wonderful food and service. Place where you can relax and enjoy a peaceful countryside life.
Cottage room are very nice with own fire plce and comfy bed but smells old and damp would be nice to have some better ventilation there. Same as swimming pool and jacuzzi nice pool but very shallow, once you in jacuzzi is hard to breathe due to chlorine and bad ventilation.
Pet friendly but if you with a pet you have only option to stay in the cottage rather than main hotel.

My husband and I enjoyed a relaxing 3 night stay at Summer Lodge recently. It’s an oasis of tranquility with traditional service in the centre of a quaint village. It’s a great base for touring the beautiful Dorset coast and countryside. As you would expect breakfast was excellent as were the homemade scones enjoyed with tea in the drawing room, homemade shortbread in our bedroom and dinner in the restaurant was also excellent. Highly recommended if you are looking for somewhere special to stay.

We visited Summer Lodge for Sunday lunch to celebrate a birthday. The positives were that the service was, as always, excellent and the restaurant coped well with my wife 's dairy free diet. The deserts were also very well made. There are unfortunately some negatives. The lamb was very tough and full of gristle. Not a good cut of meat. A view I know that was shared with other diners in the restaurant. The parsnips were also very undercooked and almost inedible. The other slight problem we had is that some of the tables are very close together and a loud party of 4 was positioned inches from us making conversation all but impossible. Very odd as the restaurant was far from full. It was also disappointing that the best tables in the conservatory, that overlook the very well kept garden, had been laid for afternoon tea and were not available for lunch guests. Disabled guest should also be aware that the hotel is not step free and there appeared to be no allocated disabled parking spaces. Parking was difficult. We have been visiting Summer for many years for special occasions. This was by far our most disappointing visit. It will no longer be at the top of our list. We sent the general manager an E-Mail sharing our concerns and we received a holding E-Mail saying that he would respond to us. He never did. Hence this review.

This hotel completely exceeded our expectations. We love this place. Every little detail is looked into and the final result is just incredible. We will definitely be returning. Fabulous and friendly staff where literally NOTHING is too much trouble, rooms clean and gorgeous and food, tasty and beautifully presented. There is literally nothing that you can criticise about this hotel.

Just returned from a 3 day break . This is a lovely hotel with beautiful gardens in the pretty little village of Evershot. The hotel is immaculate with a nice lounge with a log burning fire and a cosy little bar with lots of charator. We ate once in the fine dining,once at their Acorn Inn a few hundred yards from the hotel and once in the conservatory restaurant all three were very good with the Inn being slight cheaper. We did not use the spa. We had a great break and the staff were all very friendly and professional .

We spent a couple of days at Summer Lodge earlier this week. It was our 6th visit and as always every aspect of our stay was wonderful. You can be guaranteed of a warm welcome from the reception staff. Our room was spotless and had one of the most comfortable beds I have slept in. We ate in the hotel restaurant on one night - the other evening at the Acorn Inn (also owned by Red Carnation). The food and service in both was excellent. The spa in the hotel was a real plus and we enjoyed hours of total relaxation within it. What makes this hotel so different are the staff. The level of service and the clear commitment to ensuring your stay is as perfect as it could be is the stand out feature of Summer Lodge. Every time we encountered a member of staff they acknowledged us with a good morning, afternoon or evening. In addition they all were happy to talk to us on a personal level - a level of interaction with customers which makes this hotel really stand out. We would recommend a visit without hesitation - Summer Lodge is a first class hotel with first class staff and first class service.

Well what can I say?? My friend treated me to an overnight stay here for my 60th birthday and what a treat it was. It’s a beautiful place to visit and the staff here all go above and beyond to help. Special shout out to Justin and Charis in the dining rooms. Nothing was too much trouble. We had a delightful 3 course lunch and in the evening a more casual snack which was lovely too. Breakfast was plentiful too, continental and cooked, who could ask for more. I felt like Queen 🐝 while I was here and I would certainly love to go again sometime. The grounds here too are fabulous. The management should be proud of their staff, great ambassadors for this establishment. Keep up the good work, it’s a 60th birthday I will remember for the rest of my life ❤️
