Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Summer Lodge Country House Hotel is often described as a traditional gem, nestled in the Dorset countryside, where guests frequently enjoy a quiet getaway. The superior king rooms are spacious and the cream tea is extremely tasty. Many appreciate the complimentary muffins and drinks by the pool. While most find it exceptional, a few guests have noted that some aspects of the pub dinner at the Acorn Inn, located just a short walk away, were a little disappointing.

Really good Service and Delicious Food

private cottage attentive staff original selection spacious area
We stayed in a courtyard suite, a lovely private cottage with its own garden. The staff were attentive throughout our stay. The menu offered an original selection, and the extensive wine list was reasonably priced. The hotel public spaces are comfortable and spacious.
During our evening meal, I found a hair in my dessert. The dessert was replaced immediately. I appreciate the quick response but it did impact my overall impression.

The room featured a huge comfy bed and two bathrooms. One bathroom had a walk-in shower while the other had a lovely big bath. The rooms were spotlessly clean with ample toiletries provided for our convenience.
