Macdonald Elmers Court Hotel and Resort Reviews

Set outside of Lymington, which is a 20 - 30 minute walk away. Large grounds with lawns. Outdoor pool. Children's play area. Tennis courts. Indoor pool in an separate complex that also houses the breakfast room. Both are not in keeping with the charm and style of the older main hotel. We had a bedroom in one of the outside 2-storey more modern self contained units. You have to walk outdoors to access them. Good size room. Comfortable bed. Bathroom with bath and seperate walk in shower. Heating was totally inadequate for the size of bedroom - just a very feeble electric warm air heater with no ability to increase / decrease the setting AND it kept cutting out. Would have frozen on a winter's evening! Food & drinks in the evening hotel was acceptable, but quite expensive. Breakfast in the "spa" building was self service and chaotic. Overall paying 4* prices for a 3* facility.

Everything was fine except catering staff could have been more polite and employees not using the outside pool when off work taking up limited spaces for paying guests

Beautiful location, the building looks lovely along with the grounds, the room was clean and well stocked, sauna was good and pool was lovely. Definitely recommend.

Laura Head Receptionist was brilliant - she couldn’t have been more helpful. Room was large and no complaints whatsoever. If I had a small negative it was the breakfast, I have had a lot better and to be honest expensive for what it was. ‘Trip’ you could only either have no breakfast or 2 breakfasts. Taking my 100 year old mother who could hardly manage 2 mouthfuls was expensive there was no option for 1 or child’s! But, overall a good hotel.
