Good but can be better 🙂
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.

Amazing 😍
It was an amazing weekend. This was going to be a solo trip, but then a friend joined me at the last minute. They were so accommodating. It surpassed all expectations. The staff was so friendly and helpful. The location is in the middle of nowhere, so there’s nothing to do around the property. But, it’s perfect to completely disconnect from the world. Close to Jurassic Coast. Would definitely book again!

OVERPRICED
The staff were amazing , room very small & bathroom even smaller no full size bath , only 1 chair in room , plugs in wardrobe & not beside the bed , breakfast was amazing quality & service , disappointed with the spa not being within the hotel so you had to walk through the car park & up to it , so no wearing slippers & robes to get to it , also the size of the changing rooms were tiny with only 1 changing room , sauna only big enough for 2 people , pool was great & jacuzzi, but that’s because it was only my husband & another couple , wouldn’t like to be there when busy . For £650 for 2 nights with breakfast felt it was not worth the money and have stayed in a lot cheaper hotels with better rooms & facilities

Lovely weekend break - friendly attentive staff, great food, good wine and a nice room in one of the edge of site cottages complete with a working fireplace and a huge copper tub in the bathroom. Made good use of the spa facilities. I am sure we will stay here again.

Most enjoyable stay
Had a 2 night relaxing stay. Were a few problems with original room we booked. This was quickly resolved. Bea was extremely professional and helpful in all matters. Breakfast and dinner was excellent. All staff very friendly and most helpful. We felt ‘cosseted’. Gardens beautiful and relaxing. Spa land pool looked lovely although did not use.

Summer Lodge Review 25-27 Aug 21
Superb - only improvement required is poor drainage with en-suite sink and bathroom very dated in design and decor. Needs modernising. Noticed that majority of clientele quite elderly, would be beneficial to have tiled walk in showers. Everything else really good and we thoroughly enjoyed our two night stay.
