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?!

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.

No food or bar after 9pm ? This is a hotel in the middle of nowhere. And for a very mediocre breakfast you have to follow a bizarre route to a soulless room by the gym. Very odd. Could do so, so much better.

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.

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.

Little things mean a lot
The shower is old and decrepit stepped into when it was warm it immediately became cold let it run from five minutes still cold so I had a cold shower and my wife didn't have a shower at all . The toilet was reluctant to flush and needed pushing several times . Room 33A was also next to the boilers for the whole building so I was woken by banging caused by in the pipes at 6 a.m. it stopped after a minute or so ,so we didn't complain. Probably a mistake because it came back in the evening louder and more persistent so reception sent an engineer. He suggested we pack up and move to another room. After we packed the banging stopped so we unpacked (partly) as we were leaving next day. Also because they were having difficulty finding us a room Lovely location fine grounds a good swimming pool but spoiled by poor room maintenance. I would recommend not accepting 33A in the Tudor house . I can't tell you about the rest of the hotel except it looked good from a distance. The staff were good and in some cases super helpful.

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.

Fantastic break from start to finish. We stayed in a 1 bed apartment (No 25) in the main Manor House and it was huge, much bigger than I expected. The apartment was spotless and came with toiletries, cleaning supplies and tea/coffee etc. We were self catering so didn’t use the restaurants but we made the most of the indoor pool as this was the main reason I booked. I wanted to take my 9 year old son away for a few days and the pool was the main attraction for us. We had a great time and I’d definitely go back. Would be even more lovely in the summer as the outdoor pool & gardens looked fab! We were lucky with the weather and managed a game of tennis one day. Yes the tennis courts need resurfacing but this didn’t stop us enjoying ourselves & having fun. Taking a child away as a single parent can be daunting but Elmers court was a great place to go, so to any other single patents out there I say go for it! You’ll have a great time

Will definitely be going again!
Staff extremely attentive and helpful, great food and facilities on site. Room was very cosy with a comfy bed and Google Cast which allowed us to stream whatever we liked from our phones to the TV, which was a fantastic feature we had not seen at other hotels. The spa is well worth a visit and the pool, sauna and steam room were very enjoyable too. The only things that stopped it making this a 5-star trip was that the shower was sometimes not quite as hot as we'd like (we were in Manor House 29a) and it would have been nice to have a bigger bar area with a wider draft beer selection. However, these minor things definitely did not spoil our trip as they were just down to our personal preferences, and we would definitely go again regardless of these! Highly recommended for couples and families alike.

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.

Lovely location, needs some updated
Room was lovely complete with all needed amenities however very outdated. Staff were lovely but struggled to meet basic requests. Had paid for high chair usage on arrival, high chair failed to arrive for first 2 days despite chasing this up, when it event arrived it was filthy with Totton food on the harness and underside. Contacted reception who apologised and informed me at by another one would be sent up, 3 days later still no highchair. Than on checkout they attempted to charge me again for the highchair I was never given. Breakfast was below par, waited 40mins for 2 full English charged at £20pp, food was disproportionate to price charged (see photo). Whilst waiting you could hear the chef swearing and complaining about the number of people eating at the restaurant, which to add is pre booked. Tried to discuss issues with waiters once it eventually arrived but all the waiting staff had left and for obvious reasons was not going to approach the chef. Discussed this with reception on discharge and we’re told that they would have a word with the chef (what use is that to use after our 4 year old spent 20mins asking why the man behind the screen was so upset). Expected a better service for the price, maybe staff should have considered closing the restaurant due to exceptional circumstances. Kids throughly enjoyed the pool and location was lovely for walks and bird watching. Despite issues express would definitely consider returning with own highchair this time.
