Short stay in New Forest
Excellent location, very near to IOW ferries and perfect for exploring the New Forest. Room was outside main hotel building and was clean and comfortable. Had a couple of small issues which were dealt with very quickly and efficiently.

Comfortable stay
Not explained that access was via outside balcony door, and with 2 keys only 1 worked on 1 door. Inside, found another locked door, so thought 2nd key was to a central corridor, perhaps? Neither of the 2 keys worked. Again, had not been explained that door was to an adjoining room, no key provided because we had not booked the adjoining room. Room otherwise comfortable, although positioning of TV not ideal for viewing from LHS of bed. Map provided useful, although did not highlight access to (unsignposted) Solent Restaurant for breakfast was through the Fitness Centre. I wonder how often the fitness team are asked to confirm access through “their” reception…

Overall slightly dissapointed in this hotel. Not to the high standard one would expect from a Macdonalds hotel. Needs investment in upkeep. Room comfortable, but bathroom door delaminating due to overspray from shower, carpet needed spot cleaning, steps up to deck level need to have anti-slip strips replaced, deck needs maintenance/painting. Pathways around property could do with pressure wash clean. Limited menu in main restaurant. Excellent breakfast. We used and enjoyed the swimming pool, sauna, steam room and gym, but the changing rooms are tired and in need of a refurbishment/upgrade. Staff friendly and helpful.

Stayed here before…some years ago with Voyage Privé in main hotel. Have visited since but needed relaxing 3 night break in this unique location ….would have stayed longer but fully booked. So close to Lymington , which we favour of all these local New Forest centres , enhanced by immediate maritime vista and activities at base of main lawn. No of benches to sit ,relax and enjoy. Ferry to IOW short walk away …next time Osborne Ho. We chose a pleasant suite close to pool, spa and breakfast facilities. Staff seemed mostly very helpful especially initial young lady receptionist and duty night manager second day. Interesting mix of diverse accommodation ,courtyards of apartments, small houses and hotel itself… hadn’t appreciated that during original stay. Reported as fully booked but with extensive grounds etc wasn’t aware of that. Respectful guests so tranquil . Strongly recommend unless you favour being within a lively town . Elmers Court is well worth considering. We shall certainly return.

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.
