Macdonald Elmers Court Resort

Staycation 2020 perfect location in Lymington. Our Apartment looked out over the marina and had everything we needed and more. Didn’t eat on resort so cant comment on food. Covid procedures in place and everything needs to be booked even time around pool but this was well monitored and worked. Better cycle storage would be good as a lot of guest had brought their own bikes and only a few racks that weren’t that secure. You can be up on the moor with the horses within 10mins and a lovely little pebble beach away from the crowds 2 miles up the road. Ferry across to the Isle of Wight was 2mins away. All in all a great week in the UK.

Nice enough apartment - great to have a lounge, well equipped kitchen and the skylights in the bathroom and bedroom were a real plus! Staff could have been more helpful - when we arrived we asked if we could dine in the restaurant, Reception said yes, but this had clearly not been communicated to the restaurant - the waiter could hardly have been more grumpy! Food in the restaurant was delicious. I knew there would be an electricity charge to settle at the end of the stay - but what we were charged really did feel excessive!

We booked the apartments but were given a cottage. The cottages are very outdated and in desperate need of refurbishment. Although clean it smelled musty and damp. We had a broken window which had been bored up, a microwave which we had to remove from the cupboard to work and cobwebs and dead flys throughout the cottage.

Elmers Court in Lymington was perfect for a visit to the New Forest and surrounded area. We stayed in one of the lodges overlooking the river. The accommodation was very well equipped for self catering and very clean. Highly recommended.

Really wonderful place to stay and explore the New Forest. We went with 2 families all with children under the ages of 3. It was very easy to keep kids entertained in the area as well as on-site with the pool and playground. Wifi was not reliable.

very pleased , apartment was modern very clean and comfortable

Accommodation was spacious newly decorated,comfy beds and well equipped.Nice view ,own parking space and staff friendly and helpful.Use of pool was free and towels supplied,we also played tennis while there.Restaurant ok,but we mainly walked into Lymington which is about 30 mins but quite a few nice restaurants and pubs.Only downside is that you have to pay for the electricity you use on checkout,it is not included in the room rate.

The two-bed apartment is somewhat tired but had everything we needed for a relaxing break. The hotel’s pool is excellent as are the grounds. We were disappointed by the hotel’s restaurant. Like most tables in our area we had to wait well over an hour for our food and when it came one of the steaks was very undercooked. The waiter tried to get the kitchen to rectify but it was still undercooked when it returned. The hotel did take it off the bill but the experience wasn’t a positive one. The New Forest is amazing and this hotel could be the go to place to stay but it needs investment.

Nice apartment with stunning views across the landscaped garden out to the Lymington River. Hadn't been used for a while which showed and icy cold when I arrived very late after trains diverted due to snow. Only one electric heater (they charge you for the electricity) in the living room so it took a couple of hours to warm up and the bathroom was an icebox over our whole 3 night stay. So not really suitable for a winter stay unless you are hardy and have lots of jumpers with you but it would be an amazing place when the weather gets a bit warmer. Good facilities and beautiful grounds.

Venue excellent, if u don't mind walking or driving into town. Reception staff not available all the time. Our shower, water flow very poor, no power, and in a bath, so for people who have difficulty with mobility , not a good idea. Otherwise accommodation excellent. Swimming pool, adequate, but clarity of water not good, ?level of chlorine. We personally think cost of electricity should be included with cost when booking not as an added extra.
