Gorgeous hotel on vast grounds with lovely pools and gym. Easy walk to ferry for Isle of Wight.
Rebekah, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Enjoyable stay. Really liked this hotel and would go back again. We particularly enjoyed the self catering lodge - very convenient if you have small children. The grounds and pool were a hit! Staff friendly and helpful. However, property is a bit dated, needs a refresh. Breakfast is expensive for what it is and we were a bit disappointed.
Anastasia, 2-night trip

2 night stay. One bed apartment with kitchen. Large lounge, bedroom. Old style furnishings. Shower over bath. Quiet location at this time (November). Convenientt for IoW ferry. Lymington old town picturesque. New forest all around this property. Great value for money (November).

Peaceful getaway

A lovely trip to new forest. The hotel was very relaxed, good location & peaceful. The self catering suits were great size, but beds were uncomfortable & the pillows. Very clean & ideal for a long weekend trip. The SPA was very clean & relaxed. The restaurant was lovely & going above & beyond with dietry requirements. Lovely bar area & over all plesant stay.
Hoosna, 4-night trip

It was a beautiful, large one bedroom apartment. WE had a wonderful time.
Kevin, 4-night trip

Cracking Hotel in great location.

Really pleasantly surprised with Elmers Court. The Hotel is in a great location with fantastic facilities. John (in the bar) and Sophie (reception) deserve a special mention as they were so welcoming and enthusiastic. The Spa, gum and pool were great and this enhanced our stay. The close proximity to the IOW ferry is super practical too.
Alistair, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Bizzare Breakfast situation and not at all worth it for the price. The hotel, room, staff in the reception and the gym spa area great. They should start serving breakfast in the main hotel building’s restaurant which serves dinner.

Breakfast = £26
Andrew, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Lovely property in a great locations we really enjoyed our stay. However the room we had in the old Manor House was a bit small and restricted by too much furniture. The shower an old in line electric water heater was difficult to use and as usual with these water pressure was limited. It would also have helped to have a small fridge.
Richard, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Friendly staff and beautiful grounds, our two bed, two bathroom self catering accommodation was very in need of modernisation- dated furnishings, mouldy seals in baths and very creaky floors.
Samantha, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Lovely site, loads of potential kids loved it but very tired and service is questionable however staff went above to try and rectify
David, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

The room was very cold, with no heating. The staff did provide an extra duvet and a portable heater.The heating was still not on the next day. Also no fires or atmosphere in the bar and main lounge area The water temperature in the shower was tepid. No tissues or biscuits were provided in the room due to my having made the booking through the resort?!
Sue, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Beautiful building with lovely gardens. Website info regarding checkin misleading and needs to be updated. Reception staff very pleasant and helpful. Spa staff were polite and answered questions but seemed unable to raise a smile or create any warmth.

8/10 Good

We chose this place for a short winter break and the indoor pool was the main attraction. The apartment was comfortable, well equipped and generally clean. Overall condition of the apartment and pool facilities could be better. The strangely limited assortment of apps on the smart tv was a mystery! The walk into town is about a mile and the road is not the best after dark so I was glad to have a torch. We like Lymington and the surrounding area and travel here often.
David, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great mini break

Booked a 2 night stay in an apartment (cheaper option than the hotel for our dates). Was allocated a cottage which was lovely. Garden area much appreciated in the hot weather. Good kitchen equipment and appliances. GREAT shower! Could've been a bit cleaner in places and some maintenance wouldn't go amiss but nothing that affected our stay..... in fact it was so relaxing we seriously thought about staying longer to explore the area a bit more....perhaps another time
Tracey, 2-night trip

4/10 Poor

Very dated apartment needs modernising. Looked like the inside of a pub from 1980. Pizza restaurant ran out of food in half term. Grounds are stunning.
Sar, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice but needs updating

Building is amazing spa if old and tired minimal staff on site time share is the main attraction it seems. Apartment was tidy but old and needs a refresh. We spent most of our time out in the new forest so didn’t really impact us.
