Really pleased with our stay in the studio apartment. The apartment was roomy, was clean, had everything we needed, and exceeded our expectations at the price point. The hotel is walkable into Lymington, and has easy access to the rest of the New Forest. Great stay.

Peaceful and quiet setting I stayed Mon-Fri so can't speak for the busier periods but massive grounds well maintained with extremely attentive, caring and friendly staff members including the Tudor bar staff which were very welcoming upon every visit well done. My room was clean and tidy if in need of an update such a shame because the room had such an outstanding view it could be so much more. Still I had a fantastic 5day stay thank you.

This property is outdated and old fashioned, needing prompt refurbishment. Location was great for the ferry and bus tour and i cannot comment on the hotel or all the self catering units. However if you are given one of rhe cottages, be prepared to step back intot 1940s. Our had a leak which was luckily fixed promptly but was definitely not a 4 star accommodation.

Beautiful but very tired room

The grounds are beautiful and the reception staff were lovely. Slightly disappointed with the accommodation as it was very tired and dirty. It was also in an outbuilding and not the main hotel. Again, in dire need of modernisation.

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.

Like staying at a retirement home from 1960s

Like staying in a retirement home where it hasn't been updated in 40 years. Smelt like a care home. Clearly not renovated in many years. Steam room out of order, spa bath did not work, changing rooms were soaking wet and dirty. Half the lockers did not work. Hotel left a note to say you would have pay additional fees if you did not clean the room after use... not what I expected when I booked an apartment in a spa hotel.

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.

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.

It does the job

We stayed in west court cottage and it had all amenities. Oven, microwave, dishwasher and pots/pans. It could benefit from more cleaning and refurbishment. Not sure if the style was meant to be retro but I would like a new carpet, curtains and bed cover. The inside pool was not bad. BEDBUGS were an issue. They had a feast on me and my family.
