Intimate and special, Summer Lodge Country House Hotel & Restaurant is a proud part of The Red Carnation Hotel Collection, surrounded by beautiful countryside and offering a cosseting experience in the heart of Dorset. With genuine warm service, innovative and delicious menus, a relaxing spa, a stunning indoor pool, and fragrant landscaped gardens, this charming country-house hotel is the quintessential luxurious escape.
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.
Our beautiful hotel is located within Hardy’s enchanting village of Evershot, West Dorset, and is surrounded by beautiful countryside, providing guests with ample opportunity for walking, cycling, horse riding, fishing and golf. We are also a 25 minutes’ drive from the Jurassic coast. Summer Lodge is the perfect wedding destination – intimate and special.
Set within 4 acres of beautifully manicured gardens, the hotel also offers a heated indoor pool, spa and beauty treatments, a fully equipped gymnasium, bicycles, a croquet lawn, and an all-weather tennis court. There are plenty of private spaces within the hotel gardens, to simply unwind, practise yoga, or relax on one of the garden swings or sun-loungers, with a refreshing cool drink.
All of our 25 guest rooms and suites are different, each with a warm and inviting country house style of its own. Rich fabrics and elegant furnishings, crisp Belgian linens warmed with hot water bottles, soft and enveloping bathrobes, luxury amenities, fresh fruit and homemade shortbread are just some of the thoughtful touches. There are also private cottages for extra privacy, some with their own hot tub.
