夏天洛奇鄉間別墅酒店

I visited Summer Lodge with a friend to celebrate her birthday. We ordered a cream tea which was advertised as freshly baked scones daily. We were shown to the drawing room and sat down. Then a waiter came to ask what tea we would like and tried to joke with us which was not necessary. The scones arrived and were frozen in the middle! So much for freshly baked scones! When I complained the waiter then said ' so much for our freshly baked scones!' Then joked that we must have got them out of our handbags! Totally inappropriate. Not a great experience for parting with £34 for 2 cream teas! The building and setting is very lovely. A shame that our experience was not up to expected standards.

我們在夏日旅館預訂了一次特別的生日旅行，在他們毗鄰主旅館的一間小屋裡。充滿了傳統的魅力和優雅，我們不能期待有比這更完美的了。溫馨且非常舒適的小屋，設有私人花園空間，非常適合早晨喝杯茶或咖啡，欣賞鳥兒的聲音。服務堪稱典範，對工作人員來說沒有太大的麻煩，他們總是樂於助人，而且表現得無可挑剔。食物的品質和擺盤都非常出色，強烈推薦下午茶。經過深思熟慮的個人風格使這個週末成為我們所希望的完美慶祝活動。旅館周圍環繞著美麗的花園、水療中心和游泳池，讓您放鬆身心。一次美妙的經歷，我們一定會回來的。

Georgeous, peaceful property in a tiny storybook village. Our room was large and lovely - great bathroom(s)! One bath with toliet, sink and shower, the other with sink and tub. Service is ecellent. Interiors and gardens just lovely. And the food! Wonderful fish for dinner. Excellent South African wine. Highly recommend.

I took my husband for his first ever “spa experience” and we both had a wonderful time. The spa is luxurious and his therapist managed to release shoulder tension that he has had for years. We relaxed at the pool, sat in the jacuzzi and enjoyed the sunshine outside too. Plenty of fresh water and fruit provided and the softest towels, slippers and gowns. Later, we walked through the gardens which are gorgeous and ended with a delicious cream tea in the hotel conservatory. The perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon and we will definitely be back!

Summer lodge is a perfect English countryside escape. It maybe a little heavy on the chintz (which I’d normally avoid) but it all adds to that English country manor escape it’s trying to portray. The staff in general are lovely, so welcoming and friendly (breakfast waitress on our last day could’ve have been a little more helpful) but I can honestly say the others are so lovely and go out of their way that just 1 member of staff can not undo all the others best. The cocktails and drinks are superbly made and very delicious. The food (our favourite part of any stay away as we are big foodies) was very mixed. Breakfast was average, although we did find it odd that an English country manor does not offer a full English breakfast, and the toast was unfortunately far to thin and crispy that was cold by the time we got it. What we did have was nice but nothing to write home about, which surprised us greatly as dinner was absolutely amazing, they were able to cater for my fish allergy too and the menu was informative to for all types of allergens. Hubby would go as far to say the desserts was some of the best he has ever eaten. The cream tea was also lovely, with a good choice of teas available although we had coffee, and being illy coffee that was served it went down very nicely with the scones. The common areas through out the hotel are inviting and comfortable, open fires in some areas, staff discreetly nearby if you need anything without being over bearing or intrusive. Now on to our room, We booked a courtyard suite. It was big and airy, with a huge bed. A small walk in wardrobe, and good size bathroom. There was also a small patio area outside but being January it was a bit to cold to make use of. The decor was pleasant, and the bed comfy. We also made use the spa, it was a clean peaceful area with fairly good facilities, however the treatments we felt were average. Both hubby and I had full body aromatherapy massages and a facial each. However i found my facial left my skin dry and sore, hubbys however left him with dewy soft skin so very mixed reviews and experience with those. We did find the heating was always a little to high, 30 degrees in the spa which did feel a little to warm, and our room was set to 24 degrees on arrival which was also a little too warm, room was easily adjusted though and also had good aircon (good for the ladies at certain points in there life). Breakfast in the conservatory was also a little warm but only had to ask and it was cooled down to a more comfortable level. After staying at several red carnation properties, summer lodge has become one of my favourites and I’m looking forward to returning in summer and seeing the beautiful gardens alive with flowers. The village it’s set in is very quaint and beautiful, I highly recommend a walk around to appreciate the area. The local bakery is also another place definitely worth a visit, the cakes are amazing, As is the local pub (the acorn) full of friendl

From arrival to departure, just perfect. We simply did not leave for the first 24hrs and why would you when everyone is welcoming, friendly and tailor every gesture to your own wish. From a relaxing cream tea, to a perfect cosmo or whiskey from hundreds to choose from to a delicious dinner with perfectly temperatured wines. You can find a place to read, go for a walk, enjoy a relaxing spa treatment or a swim in the pool. Or just have a nap in your room that offers the comfort of your own coffee/tea selection with home baked short breads or just some fresh complimentary fruit or beautifully wrapped home made truffles with a handwritten note just saying how nice it is that you are just here. I can go on and on. Very relaxing, a perfect hideaway from the reality outside and just an escape without the rules and regulations of day to day life. Here you can just be yourself.
