Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
South Lodge is known for its beautiful grounds and luxurious spa, including indoor and outdoor pools. Guests often praise the spacious rooms, some featuring TVs in the bathroom, and the well-appointed bathrooms with walk-in showers; however, some have noted that certain rooms appear somewhat dated. Dining experiences, particularly at Camellia, are frequently highlighted, with the beef and dessert options receiving high marks, though a lobster dish was less impressive for some. Conveniently located, the hotel offers a relaxing escape and access to excellent facilities.

Wonderful Stay!

beautiful grounds polite staff attractive spa good food
The spa included four pools. The largest rhododendron exists in front of the hotel. The staff seemed polite. The hotel grounds were vast and beautiful. Staff were knowledgeable. I noticed a magical forest right next to the building. The food seemed very good. I appreciate the attentive service.
The hotel needs to improve WiFi. It works very poorly. This fact disappointed me.

Really good Anniversary Stay

amazing beef spacious suite really good spa
i had a wonderful break at this fantastic hotel. tom hamlet at camellia was the main attraction and the food was fantastic. the beef was amazing and likewise the desert options. the suite was spacious, well appointed with a large bathroom including bath and walk in shower. views over the grounds came with a comfortable large bed.
The additional lobster course was less excellent. That is a slight negative detail.

somewhat disappointing experience

lawn mowing loud guests
the breakfast service seemed quick.
I thought the spa experience fell short, considering all the hype. lawn mowing occurred right next to the jacuzzi, a real mood killer. some guests were constantly swearing loudly. There was a definite lack of relaxation due to that.
