A Georgian country-house hotel in landscaped grounds in the Hardy-country village of Evershot, Summer Lodge pairs warm, old-fashioned hospitality with a kitchen that leans on herbs and vegetables from its own gardens and polytunnels. A meal or an overnight stay sits well beside a walk on the Macmillan Way, which runs close by, and a wander through the estate parkland of Melbury Park.
