Elmers Court - 4-Star Hotel in Lymington

Macdonald Elmers Court Hotel is a 19th-century manor set within 23 acres of landscaped grounds on the edge of the New Forest National Park. The hotel offers views over the Solent Coast and is surrounded by Tudor-style architecture from its original heritage. Leisure facilities include a fitness centre, tennis court, and a children's playground set in the large outdoor space.

The hotel has one restaurant, the Solent Kitchen & Bar, which serves food and afternoon tea all day. The restaurant holds Two AA Rosettes for culinary excellence, with a menu that includes locally sourced ingredients and views across the lawns. Special diet menus and kids' meals are available upon request.

Rooms are located in a separate courtyard away from the main manor house, each with an en-suite bathroom, TV, and work desk. The hotel offers flexible self-catering apartments for families, including a 4-bedroom house with its own garden. Allergy-free rooms and family rooms are available, and all accommodations are non-smoking.

The hotel provides a children's playground, tennis equipment, and board games for younger guests. Families can use the indoor and outdoor swimming pools (currently closed as part of a refurbishment plan). The hotel also offers a 24-hour front desk, daily housekeeping, and electric vehicle charging stations.

Elmers Court is located a 5-minute walk from the WightLink ferry to the Isle of Wight and a short train ride into Lymington town centre.
