We loved the location of the property. The grounds and outdoor swimming pool were beautiful. We requested a first floor room and received a ground floor. The dinner was meh and for the money I would have expected more. Service was great. Fault lies with the kitchen. Would return but probably not eat dinner there again.

This hotel is very pretty and the grounds are very pretty. However it needs a serious refurbishment. Everything in the rooms are a bit tired. Almost no outlets to charge your things. Took forever to get things. We were there when it was especially hot and it took three phone calls and four hours to get a fan. Our Nespresso had no pods. I called room service and they told me to call the front desk. I called three times and no one ever answered the phone.

Terrible experience - I would avoid !!!
Terrible, dated, hot room in a loud courtyard. The hotel rooms seem to be secondary to a time-share type holiday camp. We asked for a quiet room which turned out to next to the noisy cleaners’ shed and also adjacent to the wedding party getting ready from 6:45am. The room was so hot we couldn’t sleep, it was impossible to have the windows open as these are velux; if you opened them the lights from the bright hotel courtyard kept you awake. No air-con just a couple of noisy fans. I do not believe they delivered a service that matched the (over) priced room. Breakfast seemed very poor, the sausages were cold and others items missing, with guests repeatedly requesting food. Felt like a school canteen. We had booked two nights but due to such a poor experience we left after first night. We requested a refund for the second night but told no. I cannot recommend this hotel and from our experience I would avoid it and stay anywhere else.

Over charge
The hotel charged me for a second room that I did not book. Their records indicated I booked two rooms with hotels.com but i have an email that shows I booked one room. The hotel manager said i had to take it up with hotels.com and that he was charging me for the extra room. My wife and I liked the place except for the fact that we were charged an extra room. Can I get reimbursed from hotel.com?

Night away
Picked this hotel as it looks like it has a load of character, so was a bit disappointed with the room, which was in a square annex separate to the hotel with zero charm! Room itself was large and clean. Enjoyed both the restaurant and bar and had a lovely meal.

Enjoyable spa holiday
We enjoyed our stay at Elmer’s court. There is an outdoor pool which made us feel like we’re not holidaying in the UK. The room was clean and well-kept. We had balcony which was good for relaxing after our walks in the New Forest. You can also see the Solent from the hotel grounds! The spa facilities were also good. There is sauna and indoor pool, and treatment rooms! I had the signature treatment and I absolutely loved it! There was wide variety of options for the full and continental breakfast (try the pan au chocolat, they’re absolutely divine!). The staff were all friendly and they were also very understanding when we requested for a late check out as my treatment finished after the regular checkouts. The food at the Waterford Restaurant was also something you should try whilst staying at the hotel.
