Summer Lodge and Spa

Deep in the heart of the rolling Wessex countryside- little changed from the days it was immortalized in the novels of Thomas Hardy- and only a short drive from the dramatic rocks and fossils of the world renowned Jurassic Coast- Summer Lodge affords a magical escape from the prosaic realities of the 21st century. Set in four acres of idyllic gardens- with a croquet lawn- indoor pool- health spa- and a small collection of richly furnished guest rooms and suites- its a small world into itself - and one you wont want to leave. Add in a restaurant of international repute- a cellar master who was runner-up in the Best Sommelier of the World awards 2007- plus service that manages to be wonderfully discrete yet impressively thoughtful- and its easy to see why guests come from so far and wide.
