The staff at the hotel went above and beyond, the service was impeccable. The hotel itself was beautiful, inside and out, and the food was wonderful. We really couldn’t have asked for more. Definitely going back soon!

We treated ourselves to a stay at Summer Lodge to cebrate our Wedding Anniversary. We were greeted by friendly, professional and attentive staff. Our room was spotless and included two welcoming cocktails - much appreciated. Before dinner, we went for a swim in the hotel's pool and used their jacuzzi - an excellent facility which was even more enjoyable as we had the pool to ourselves! Dinner was superb and reflected the chef's high standards. Summer Lodge is not cheap but you are paying for quality. Overall we were delighted with this outstanding stay.

Just book it! Lovely hotel!

What an absolutely lovely hotel. The staff are so friendly and the service impeccable. Our room was so large and the bed was the most comfortable ever! Absolute star of the show is the restaurant in the evening. This is Michelin star worthy food. Totally unexpected and absolutely delicious. We were sad not to have more time here as we didn’t have a chance to use the spa or explore the grounds (which looked gorgeous). I can’t recommend this hotel enough.

Hardy Country visit

All staff very helpful. Very comfortable and large room with lots of additional seating. Lovely view of the gardens. Breakfast was adequate but seemed short of staff to keep things topped up. Excellent walking through nearby estate. Dinner was good in main restaurant but somewhat odd in that some diners had a different menu to choose from and were very casually dressed. Went to associated pub for dinner on second evening which was very good.

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.
