A most traditional ritual

There is nowhere better to savour a delicious traditional Afternoon Tea than Summer Lodge Country House Hotel & Restaurant, in the idyllic English countryside and surrounded by Dorset's rolling hills.

For many years we have welcomed guests and locals for our famous Afternoon Tea, which can be enjoyed in the Conservatory, Whisky Lounge, Drawing Room, or during finer weather, al fresco on the terrace overlooking our beautiful gardens.

Whilst the hotel is closed, we are offering takeaway Easter Afternoon Tea.
