Elmers Court has recently changed hands. I visited in April 2026 during a spell of beautiful weather which made everything seemeven more idyllic. The main house was undergoing major renovations. I was upgraded from a cheap room in the main house to an apartment close by. I stayed there for 2 nights. The apartment was functional but dated. The bathroom was good. General cleanliness was good. The restaurant in the main house was a building site when I arrived at midday and 100 percent clean and functional by the evening! The new renovations in it were of high quality and sympathetic to the style of the house. There were understandably very few guests. The staff were delightful and very helpful. They were visibly bubbling over with excitement! There is a well established health spa within the grounds that I didn't visit. Also an outdoor pool undergoing renovation, tennis courts and children's play areas all hidden in the grounds. Once they are all functioning it will be fantastic. This beautiful house was built in mid-1800s in the style of an Elizabethan manor. The grounds are absolutely stunning! Beautiful estate style parkland bordering onto the Lymington Estuary. My apartment had a back door leading to a small private patio opening onto grass and trees. The resort has had numerous apartments in the grounds for some years and now many more are being built. I strongly suspect that this resort will be much more expensive in the future, more than I'd be prepared to pay.

A lot of updating was evidently in progress which we were warned about in advance, but we were not disturbed at all as it was a weekend. The room was very spacious and comfy with a huge comfy bed. Staff were lovely. The main building and grounds were gorgeous. Our only niggle was lack of enough milk in the room (we love lots of tea and coffee), and one of the sachets of milk was off, as it turned lumpy in the tea). We didn't complain as only there for one night.

Currently the hotel is under refurbishment. A lot of amenities wasnt available. Including a hot breakfast on Sunday morning, which was on Saturday. Not a lot of food available on either days. Didn't have the same feel as other macdonald hotels. Rooms were far from reception, which was tricky when it was raining. Rooms were OK.

Currently being refurbished so perhaps our experience was not typical. However the staff were unexceptional, breakfast very poor and room clean but dated. The location is wonderful so maybe when the refurb is complete it will all improve.

The apartment was great and not troubled by the extensive renovations. The price matched the amenities which were not available like spa and swimming pools. Gym was available but did not use it.

The view was lovely and the apartment was spacious, well equipped and comfortable. The bed sheets and pillows unfortunately let the sleep down. They smelt disgusting, like bleach. The bed was full of little bits and wasn’t very clean. Other than bad sleep, it was a nice stay.

The staff were lovely. The beds were comfortable and the pool was really warm. The grounds are beautiful with a stunning view out to sea. On the flip side things needed tlc. The room was apparently an updated room but things were broken or old and the room had no heating other than one small electric radiator that looked like it had been there 30 years. For a modern room the TV had seen better days. Took me back 20 years! The food was heavily overpriced, especially the breakfasts. It was a mediocre buffet breakfast at £26pp!! I've had far better at a premier inn.
