Festive celebrations

Make this Christmas even more magical by celebrating at Summer Lodge. We have something to suit every festive occasion, from seasonal Afternoon Tea to Christmas Day dinner. Or, make your corporate celebration extra special with a tailor-made Christmas party. 

INNOVATIVE CUISINE

Inspired by an abundance of superb local ingredients, including Dorset Vinny Blue Cheese and Dorset Beef, and ingredients grown in the hotel gardens and polytunnels, our talented Kitchen Team created timeless menus that combine both innovative cuisine and classic signature dishes. 

ALL THE REASONS TO LOVE SUMMER LODGE

WE CARE

We are proud to grow many of our own vegetables, fruits and herbs in our kitchen gardens and polytunnels, while our hotel bees create delicious honey for our guests.

BEAUTY IN EVERY DETAIL

All of our guest rooms and suites are different, each with a warm and inviting country house style of its own. Expect rich fabrics and elegant furnishings, crisp Belgian linens warmed with hot water bottles, soft and enveloping bathrobes, luxury amenities, fresh fruit and homemade shortbread. There are also enchanting private cottages for extra privacy, some with their own hot tub.
