Pleasant stay, we had an upgrade to a classic room, which was a lovely gesture. Couple of issues with the gym but a nice stay overall. Restaurant very pricey

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.
