Summer Lodge Country House Hotel, Restaurant and Spa Restaurants & Cafes

This charming 24 bedroom Relais & Châteaux property ranks amongst the finest country house hotels in the UK. It was voted Dorset Restaurant of the Year 2007 and is a totally relaxing rural retreat with Spa.

Set in the charming Dorset village of Evershot and historically linked with Thomas Hardy in 2007 Summer Lodge was voted Dorset Restaurant of the Year and was also awarded UK hideaway of the year by the Andrew Harper Guide in the US. Shortlisted in three categories - “Best Out of Town” Restaurant, “Best Wine List” and “Best Sommelier of the Year” - in this year’s Tatler Restaurant Awards, a stay at Summer Lodge Country House Hotel, Restaurant and Spa offers so much than an outstanding dining experience. We hold monthly Wine Dinners, hosted by our award-winning team of sommeliers on the first Tuesday of each month.

Every one of the 24 guest rooms, suites, and private cottages has recently been individually and beautifully redecorated - “chic and utterly gorgeous” - and fitted out with everything needed to ensure that nothing interrupts the peace and tranquillity of your visit. Combine this with a standard of personal service throughout the hotel that continually sets new benchmarks for excellence, a brand new Spa facility offering a gym and beauty treatments, an indoor heated pool, tennis court, croquet lawn and magnificent landscaped gardens, it’s almost impossible not to relax and enjoy every moment. To give the last word to Tatler’s recent report, Summer Lodge is “country-house comfort as you’ve never experienced it”.

For your very special occasion, exclusive-use packages are very popular - you can book the entire hotel, exclusively for your party of up to 50 guests, and put this beautiful property, including gardens, restaurant, lounges, and staff, entirely at your disposal.
