    Stunning hotel. Fantastic rooms, great food. Lovely location with guided walks that are easy to follow if you want to get out. Staff couldn't be more helpful and friendly. It was my birthday and they made me feel really special. Pool area and spa was great. Will definitely be back. Fabulous.

    Built in the late 1700s this interesting and attractive house, now a hotel and restaurant, provides a perfect setting for lunch or dinner. We sat outside enjoying our drinks, the warm summer breeze softly blowing through the trees, the gentle sound of the waterfall nearby. Lunch in the cool dining room was tasty but not perfect. Our host explained the reason why and assured us the problem would be dealt with. We will definitely be returning and are grateful for the fabulous care and attention we were given by Peter.

    We have visited Summer Lodge a few times and are never disappointed. We recently went for a few days to celebrate our anniversary. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel special. Staff were so lovely and could not do enough for us. Lots of little touches, treats and attention to detail throughout our stay. Food, wine and cocktails were amazing. Spa was very peaceful to spend a few hours in. Location is outstanding with beautiful views from every direction. This is honestly our favourite place to visit in the whole world. Thank you to everyone at Summer Lodge for making our stay so very special.
